One of my oldest friends is from Fargo. She has waxed poetic for YEARS about how WONderful Fargo and all of North Dakota are.

However, they do have a winter that is similar to Siberia: l-o-n-g and COLD. SHE moved out here to California in the early 1970's and is still here. She STILL waxes poetic about Fargo. She USED to go "home" to Fargo for summers and Christmas. The summer visits stopped about 30 years ago and the Christmas visits stopped about 20 years ago.

Fargo is wonderful, ESPECIALLY from here in California. :o)

And windy. I can't imagine 20 below with a 30 mph wind.

You got that right. Mrs. Afterguard and I are both from Fargo (well, actually across the river in Moorhead) and we go back there every few years since we both still have extended family there. But we’ve lived in warmer climes for over 40 years and wouldn’t dream of going back to stay, only because of the winters. It was however,a perfect place to grow up.
