      The houses are warm and insulated (in general). The clothing keeps one warm between buildings. Friendly people.

      Snow is around for less than 6 months a year.

        “Snow is around for less than 6 months a year.”

        I’ve seen snow maybe 4 times in my life enough to disrupt traffic and that was too much. 60° is pretty cold

          It gets so cold here the air literally stings your face, even with no wind…but I’ve seen the rest of the country and I’m staying right here

          Good news. Only several inches of snow slows traffic in MN, and only until the plows hit it. It is an accepted reason to stay home when the plows are not yet out.

          Also, I have been colder inside in warm places than in cold places. (In cold places, the doors must block the wind when closed.)
