I love the idea of places like Minnesota - and even Alaska - because I love snow. But I wouldn’t survive it - heat never bothers me, but cold shrivels me up for what feels like endless weeks, once Christmas is over :-(
My hat’s off to you.
I survive, but my husband thrives. He loves the cold. We vacationed in Virginia several years ago and I kept saying how I would love to live there, he winced every time I made that comment. He probably couldn’t make it through one summer-heat drains him. I get mildly depressed every fall even though it’s absolutely lovely weather... it means winter is just around the corner.
You are spot on about winter after Christmas-months of cold with none of the merriment. Oh well, God placed me here so I shouldn’t complain!
