Weak, Twin Cities don't get that much snow. Stats are pretty skewed, because a Twin Cities' winter usually lasts longer than anywhere else in the USA, so the snowfall amount seems higher than it is, and there are many times in March and April where it snows and is completely melted within 24 hours. Anyway, the Twin Cities are cold, and it is a biotch, but there is a skyway system in MPLS that is greater than anywhere else in the USA. You never have to be outside and you can walk around for 8 miles downtown. I think the OP is focusing too much on winter. Maybe because it is winter, I would like to see this person write this in July. In Minnesota, Summer is June, July, August. Fall is September, October, November. Winer is December, January, February. Spring is March, April, May. It's pretty simple, and the seasons tend to change on a dime. Only winter is really bad. Say what you will about spring, but it's pretty gray and raining in the spring time in almost every part of the country. Summer is awesome, and there is nothing bad about fall. So, OP, settle down.

My buddy spent this summer in San Antonio, TX, where for 2 weeeks the temp didn't drop below 95 degrees. Why would anyone live there?

Same concept. We Minnesotans are tough, hard workers, we dont let a little chill bring us down. It sucks, but it's winter. Most of our ancestors were from Finland, Sweden, and Germany. It's in our blood. Nothing like waking up on a sunny day in October though, or spending an entire day on a lake in July!

I just went to PA for the weekend. Stayed in the Amish country and then went to visit my friend who lives in PA, but on the border of Maryland and Delaware. Wow, she wasn't kidding when she said it's the sticks!! There was only 1 traffic light for 25 miles. I could never live anywhere that desolate. I can see why people would want to though, in a way, since it's relaxing to live somewhere that isn't crowded at all. I just wouldn't live there.

Yeah I know this to be true but I just can't understand it, it's like my brain turns into a preztel when people say "oh isn't -12 and 13inches of snow so beautiful" I like the heat, I think SD is too cold for my liking but There is people that actually live in canada or Minn. It boggles my mind. Like when my grandpa came here from poland he settled in Long Beach CA and then out of nowhere picked up and moved to Milwaukee and now I'm married and stuck in the 2nd coldest major us city.
You should try living in some place like St. Louis or New Orleans during the summer, and then tell us how enjoyable the experience is. Milwaukee summers are probably awesome compared to summers in warmer-weather areas. I'm originally from Missouri, and it's ridiculously uncomfortable outside during the summer. Maybe winters suck in Milwaukee, but summers suck in many other places.

LOL, maybe you should read my post more clearer, I have lived in Miami and New Orleans for a while and I loved it! I love 80 degree nights with lots of humidity, I don't know why but I enjoy the humidity for some odd reason.

The sad thing is, so many NYCers think that is how people live west of the city. Any logical person would realize that such desolate areas obviously have little populations of people.
