Minnesota is cold in the winter, but the people are nice, the scenery is beautiful, and the politics is palatable. Just sayin'.

I moved from Florida to Minnesota, second best decision of my life. I love it here, just don't ask how I feel about Minnesota from January - March.

I actually love it here in winter. It's so nice to put on a fire and be snug as you watch the snow fall. I grew up in Kentucky, and the winters there were just drizzly and chilly and gray and none of the fun stuff about winter but all of the yucky stuff. Not its best season, for sure.

me too. It's amazing how my opinion of winter changes when I don't have to shovel a drive way (I, uh, have a robot for that.)

I love staying at home watching the snow fall during winter, it's beautiful, but unfortunately the cold makes my joints hurt so it's not as fun for me. Having spring and fall is fantastic though, before I moved up here I kinda assumed a lot of the "spring is amazing" sentiment was cabin fever from the months of cold, but nah, spring is pretty great in it's own right. I grew up climbing the crabapple tree in my grandparents yard on summer vacation and had no idea that it bloomed in spring.

Keep it nice for the rest of us Americans that will have to migrate there once global warming really starts taking a hold... I'd rather go there than Iowa.

I'm voting in every election and sending my representatives letters are regular intervals.

Good choice. Iowa is a shit hole, and I'm very glad I got out of there before they really went off the deep end
