Seriously. I live in Minnesota and have for nearly my entire life. I don't despise winter, in fact, on occasion, I actually enjoy it. But seriously. Right now it is -8 degrees. No, that's not a typo. That's a negative sign, meaning BELOW zero. Tonight the actual temperature is supposed to be -25 degrees. Are you kidding me?! Add to that the winds which are gusting up to 20mph that equals out to a whopping -50 wind chill! Who lives in these kinds of places? The only living creatures that dwell in these environments are penguins and polar bears. There's a movie called "8 Below" and it takes place in ANTARCTICA!
Do you know what happens when you go outside when it is 8 degrees below zero? It hurts to breathe. Your eyes water and the tears freeze. Every hair and booger in your nose freezes. Oh and don't even try to smile. Talk about tooth sensitivity.
Why do I live here?

I wonder the same thing. At least for us, we have cars and heated homes. What were the first settlers thinking???
