Yeah, it's a "real" climate with real winters and the summers are warm and humid enough to be interesting and get plenty of storms but not hot to the point of it being unbearable.
Minneapolis is certainly the place where you can pretty much encounter any type of weather, plus it constantly ranks among the top places to live in the U.S.
Good ****. I would say it's a better decision than Fairbanks for the reasons I mentioned before.
Feb 2015 on Long Island was like a typical February in Minneapolis with a mean temp around -7C at my place, and having experienced it I can tell you it was pretty much the greatest month weatherwise I've ever personally experienced. It was probably the only month of my lifetime where I was actually motivated to wake up at 6am each day and go sip the fresh morning air. It's definitely a place you'll enjoy climatically.
Are you really moving? Not a joke? If so, I'm so happy for you, that you'll find a climate you like even though I really don't like that kind of winters, it doesn't mean you'll dislike it if you like cold winters, they'll be really good for you! August will probably be like the weather that Miami gets during the whole year, while October onwards things will start getting interesting
And then, will you tell us how the daily and ordinary life is in a climate like that? It will be good for you
Yes - I'm really moving! I'm really excited about it, of course I'll keep you guys updated on how daily life is. Even moving there in late August would feel like relief coming from Miami, as mid-summer conditions are starting to wane by that point and by September it's noticeably cooler and October is solidly autumnal.

How come? And to my understanding, the economy in Minneapolis is a lot less depressed than most Upstate NY cities.

Thanks man! Yeah, I think I was a bit in over my head with the whole Fairbanks thing lol. Fairbanks is way too far and isolated for me. Minneapolis is far as **** too but a lot closer and more accessible. Plus, summers in Minneapolis are more interesting and stormy than Fairbanks.
Why did they delete my messages about me suggesting Alex a place with warmer winters than Fairbanks because they would have been too brutal, though? I didn't want to offend anyone

Did they really do that? No way someone could have thought that was offensive or something. Maybe it was part of a larger conversation that involved arguing or bickering? Lol

Oh, that's what I meant. I was asking if the reason you didn't choose upstate NY or northern New England was the lack of large cities so not as good of a job market.
You're still going to have hotter summers than me. Frost-free is about the same or slightly shorter, too. A big reason I'm not as interested in Minnesota relative to northern New England or upstate NY is Minnesota is much flatter. I like hills.

They is probably me. It was probably within a mass delete — lots of garbage posts recently. Easy for a post to get mixed in with those when I'm trying to delete 40 posts in the conversation in the thread.

How does a mass deletion work? You opened my posts list and deleted many of them, or...?
And why was there a mass delete? What happened? I don't think I've attacked anyone personally, I just expressed my opinions, and attacked their ideas at most, not them.

Oh, right lol. Yes that's why I didn't choose Upstate NY or Northern New England. Also, my brother is moving to Chicago in August so I'll be closer to him to go visit. Minneapolis is about six hours by car from Chicago.
Yes summers will still be hotter though winter comes much earlier (by November, the average high is about 40 F, which is like December for you I'm guessing?)
Yeah, MN is a bit flat, though Minneapolis isn't too far from hilly terrain and not far from many outdoorsy type of activities in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. And of course, MN is the land of 10,000 lakes.
I've read Minneapolis is very outdoor oriented for a big city.

It won't be you! Your posts will likely have been between other posts that may have been argumentative/trolling/insulting etc, and that block of posts will have been deleted. I'm sure your posts were none of the above, but were simply caught up in some silliness from other posters!

I'm officially moving in August.
