Yup. As is the entire midwest aka “flyover country” for those from Rio Linda...
Yes you have to have the sense to wear proper clothing, but many look at this as a survival skill, a form of “prepping” if you will. I would hate to become unable to not just survive, but to thrive in a four season climate.
The other thing I found a bit odd up there was it was the only place we ever lived where the schools had no hot lunch program—they all walked home and back for lunch! The thermometer hit 20 below zero while we were there—schools didn’t close, and the kids still walked home for lunch!
They’re a hardy bunch!
