I dunno. My g/f always says different bout Minnesota. Like the northern regions suck, but down near Minneapolis and such, not as bad all the time. For me, I'm use to 40-50 during the winter, not all this constant 20s and 30s bs and ft of snow. Maybe 1 or 2 inches, sure, but when they're measuring in ft, it's normally rain from a tropical storm or dying typhoon, the rare time those happen.
