It was -20 to -30 where I was in Canada

The easy beer slushes didn’t make up for the insane cold

Every time we have one of those multiple day 100+ degree runs like 20 old people in Memphis die from the heat


17x more likely to die from cold than heat

I've been in Fairbanks and Calgary during the winter but oddly enough the coldest weather I've ever experienced was in Omaha. It was like minus 30 for a few days. They even cancelled school.

I’d rather live in LA with no heat or in MN with no AC

Probably because the same idiots who think heat is worse than cold can't grasp the concept of why climate change is bad

How do you feel about no indoor plumbing for a large chunk of the winter? Frozen pipes are gonna a major problem


I can’t insulate the pipes now? Are you saying I can’t use any way to generate heat?


This about central heat vs central AC, right?


I would assume fires and fans could still be used

No heat means no heat

Fans don't change temperature

It is an easy decision. That's why I don't get people picking Minnesota without any heat.

True. But 45 degrees, wind and rain is more miserable than 10 degrees, sunny and calm.

I've lived in both places. I'll take Louisiana summer over Minnesota winter's and day of the week.




I too have lives in both places and I would take the cold winter any day. That may have to do with more with me being born and raised in the north and having spent the first 24 years of my life there. I lived in Iowa though...slightly less of a winter than Minnesota and slightly less of a summer than Louisiana. Any given day in the summer there, its probably only 5-10 degrees cooler and has 5-10 percent less humidity than Louisiana. For me once it gets over 80 degrees and enough humidity where you can feel it...thats when I start getting miserable. I think I liked it better there because there truly are 4 distinguishable seasons. That and the thunder storms there are an incredible sight to see. We don't get shite for thunderstorms in southern Louisiana.

I was working in Cleveland for a few months during winter a few years ago. It was very fricking cold and I'm sure it still doesn't compare to a Minnesota winter.

I've acclimated to southern heat and humidity being as I was born and raised here and it sucks, for sure, but the Midwestern winter cold is just something I don't think I could ever get used to. Stepping outside in single digits with a 20 mph wind physically hurts. So I'm gonna have to have a heater if I am forced to do a winter in Minnesota.

Lots of folks living near Fairbanks have dry cabins. They're popular with some college students.
