This is a city we talked about, any specific reasons why?[/quote]

Ghost town .Very strange.Big buildings but noone walks on the streets.Now the best place to live for schools would be north shore area(Shorewood,fox point etc),while houses are beautiful and inexpensive a lot of them for sale.We still can't sell our house there.Weather is terrible year round.[b]You get one month of warmth(July)[/b].People are big drinkers.You will be surprised to see so many functional alchoholics.[/quote]

Define "warmth." Minnesota native here and I'll grant you that the summers there are nothing like the summers here, but c'mon, more months than July are warm.[/quote]

I lived in Minneapolis for four years. I grew up in Arkansas. By my reckoning,  it started getting warm in May and stayed nice throughout June, July, and August.  The earliest snow I saw was on Halloween. The latest snow I saw was early May.

Minnesotans make the most of it, though. Ice fishing, cross country skiing, snow mobiling.  They are sort of nuts. [/quote]

When it's regularly been 10-20 (or far lower), March starts to feel balmy at 40-60 (or 80. oh, global warming), and it goes from there. Some years springs are awful, just chilly and damp, and some years it's glorious. But it's generally tolerable from late April on. And while we do have hot spells, summers are not the painful slog they are here (or further south). [/quote]
