The snow is always snowier on the other side of the snow pile

Everytime we come to Minneapolis for business trips in the winter, we joke to our clients that they must either be crazy or gluttons for punishment for living up here (It was about 15degrees F. when we landed). And they laugh and say that while it is cold, it's not that cold, it could be worse. The people up in Delouth, off the shores of Lake Superior, are the really crazy ones. It may snow as late in the year as June. They will wear shorts as soon as it gets above 30 degrees. I wonder what the Delouthians say when people ask if they are crazy. What, -20? That's nothing. You should go to Canada. Those people are crazy!

Of course, we get the same comments in reverse in August. 30 consecutive days of 100+ temps? You must be crazy. Yes, we in Dallas are crazy, but you should try living in Houston. Oh, the humidity!

Don't forget those Arizonians! "But, it's a DRY heat!"

You are funny. And I will definitely take thirty days of 100+ temps over one day of lower than freezing.
