Hardly "brutal". Plenty of 40s and 50s in Glendive in winter, though they do get some wicked cold snaps. But you can't judge a climate based on cold snaps. Might as well call Nashville, TN "brutal" because they get some strong cold snaps sometimes.

Winters in the 20s and 30s are brutal, no question about it. Imagine having to wrap yourself in four or five layers anytime you want to leave your house. Upstate Ny has the sort of winters where you can't leave your house without a coat until April or even May. It's a garbage fire climate. That's why in Upstate NY there is so much obesity and drugs and methheads, because people can't leave their ****ing house for at least a third of the year. Thone winters really are cruel, I would pay a million dollars for New York to have the climate of Perth or Parana or San Diego

That's one winter month, though. And it's not really brutal, maybe in terms of temperature swings.

I mostly agree. Winters in the 20's are bad. Although a winter average high of 38 °F is nice to me.
However, it's not true that you can't leave your house without a coat until April or May. If you make do with not wearing a coat in 60 °F weather, that's fine, you can wear something lighter than a coat. December, January, February and March are all winter months, sooo...

But I agree, average highs in the 20's don't feel nice, they are undoubtedly cold.

You have to wrap yourself in five layers for temps in the 20s and 30s? That's concerning. At 20 F, all I need is a t-shirt, hoodie and longjohns and a skully if it's windy. You sound way over dramatic. And you know the largest obesity rates are in the South right?

Don't forget too that those temperatures can feel a lot colder if it is windy... Even some winter days in the UK can feel "brutally" cold because of the windchill, my Mum calls winds like that a "lazy wind" as it goes right through you

Absolutely true! With all those lows below -20 °C (-4 °F), it's unpleasant. Although there are some a few nice days in March 2014.

-22 °F (-30 °C) is not brutal to you? Not only it's extremely unpleasant, it's also dangerous and you can get frostbite quickly!

Certainly cold, but "brutal"? Come on. 24 F is not exactly life-threatening and very managable. It's like me saying an 85 F summer is brutally hot...lol
