If you look at how the jet stream ...Epic rant, Cap. If you look at how the jet stream moves from summer to winter, MN truly is the worst of both worlds. Arctic air comes down in winter, the Gulf Stream curls up in summer, overlapping in good old MN! I think we do have the greatest difference in yearly high to low temps.<br /><br />We will be moving west for more temperate regions eventually. We love the seasons, but the extremes are getting too much to bear - both from the weather and the left. The only way we will remain in MN is if we buy a cabin. That is the only thing MN has to offer, is the 10,000 lakes.<br /><br />I personally hate hot muggy weather more than cold weather, so the Deep South is not for me. So, a move west and south of the arctic jet stream will make for milder winters and summers.<br /><br />Winters are more tolerable with a wood burning stove. The heat is much more pleasant, and if you put a cast iron humidifier on top, the air in your house will never dry out.Donttreadonmattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-4572985750234287132013-12-03T20:09:24.031-08:002013-12-03T20:09:24.031-08:00To all you Canucks who posted here, I'm a Canu...To all you Canucks who posted here, I'm a Canuck who somehow wound up in Minnesota with my family for the past three years.

Check out a few states' national test scores broken down by race - the white kids do about the same in almost every state, the black kids do about the same in almost every state, etc. The biggest difference between state test scores is how many kids of each race there are. Secondarily, Texas gets better scores than both California and Wisconsin, in a few cases, significantly so, when you compare the various demographic groups against each other. So Texas is doing something right.
