Minnesootans are the best. I was there at a university during a heat wave, and my friends pointed out that every winter routine snowfall would pile up up to the height of the crash-bars on the university doors - like waist-high. My reports of how a a mere foot of snowfall at home could close everything down made them chuckle. Since they do it every year they are acclimated to cold and snow and have equipment and expectation to deal with it and know how to drive in winter weather.
