The majority of my family lives in the Dakotas or in Minn. They dont mind the cold nearly as much as people here; or the news lets on. Hell, I remember only a few years ago a phone call from my uncle who was complaining it was too warm in January, it was in the low 40’s and maybe high 20’s at night. They had no snow, no frost, and no ice on the ground. They wanted the cold because it helps control the pests in the summer (they are farmers). It also helps shore up the fields and shallow stream beds, makes better hunting weather. (yes, they like of those things there.)
Plus I dont like this weather we have right now. It is January, it should be alittle cold and rainy. We need the water badly and alittle variation in the weather helps us appreciate the good times. Plus if this weather keeps up we will have a tinderbox again and come September people in the midwest and NE enjoying a beautiful fall will turn on the TV and see half a million people being evacuated from firestorms and wonder who the hell wants to live in Southern CA.
