Minnesota is fine, buddy. Currently live in the twin cities, it’s all good. Winter is a great excuse to buy a bunch of cold weather gear, really just have fun with it. I built a huge snow fort last winter, race track for the dogs with tunnels. I’m starting to like winter more than summer in my late 30s, I’m not so sweaty, don’t have to mow the lawn.
Apparently there are some people here who challenge themselves to never go outside all winter. Park indoors, use the skyway downtown.
I’m in New England, so similar levels of cold winters as MN and most of Canada by population. Really it’s something you adapt to and it becomes your normal.
Sometimes you cannot go out, even for work, because of a giant snow storm. Sometimes you need to wear a heavy duty coat to go to work or go grocery shopping. That’s about it. When you’re inside and it’s cold you have the heat on and wear nice socks/slippers.
The nice thing about the cold is you can always put more clothes on, add more heat. There only so many layers of clothes you can remove to deal with hot weather…
Minnesota, much like Canada, would be a place I would love to live except it’s way too damn cold all the time.
I guess I could wait 15 years for global warming to take care of that problem though.

It’s only cold for about one third to one half of the year, and it’s nothing a decent furnace and a good coat can’t handle.
