Allright....New England has colder winters. There, feel any better?
nah man, I'm only kidding...really the only part of the Upper Midwest that gets very ferociously cold is anywhere from the higher elevation of western UP of Michigan, west into Northern Wisconsin, the Iron Range of Minnesota, all they way to the NE corner of North Dakota, that's a very, very cold area during the wintertime.
Upper Midwest by far the coldest. New England THINKS it is the coldest, but the Upper Midwest could school the Northeast on cold temps.
LOL!!!! yeah, they can "school" em, International Falls is can pretty much whoop Caribou, ME's rear end when it comes to cold , now snow....that's a whole other ballpark there.

Not really. Caribou had a banner year for snow this last winter with 198.7" inches of the God-forsaken white stuff falling. National Mine, Michigan in the UP has an average just 20" under that number. (Caribou has an average 86" under last years total). The Upper Midwest can also hold a class on snowfall as well for the North East.
When I first moved there people would ask me why I picked Caribou. I was serious as a heart attack when I told them "Because the winters are warmer and there is less snow to shovel." They would laugh thinking I was joking with them... not at all, I was coming from the UP of Michigan.

what part of the UP did you live?? what's usually the coldest/snowiest spot?? I would guess Iron River??
oh yeah....Caribou averages much more snow than Int'l Falls....110 inches vs. 68 inches
