I'm from Minnesota too! LOL
I like that list, it reminds me of my sister and I
a couple years ago.
We were working at Imation and we had to go outside
to smoke every night at breaks, so were outside and it's
around -40 with the wind chill every night,
so when it passed and it went up to 19 degrees we
seriously went outside and thought it was nice enough
to wear short sleeve shirts and no jackets lol

My Mom who lives in So. Cali thinks we were crazy but
she just would have had to have gone through the FREEZING
temps we did then have it warm up almost 60 degrees in
a couple days to understand lol
