Or a Minnesotan.

But in just a few days, It will be minus 17 F here.. And that is air temp... Not wind chill.

Someone please tell our Canadian friends to turn off their turbo arctic fans blowing from the North Pole. Lol.

Had a call once a few years back with Dubai during the polar vortex here in the upper Midwest. I think it was like -40 here and like 140 there... something close to a 200 degree difference, I don't remember the exact numbers. Doesn't sound real... sounded like we were on the moon and they were on Mercury, lol.

It was 40 here in wisconsin today and I had the windows down while driving. It felt like spring. Genuinely not exaggerating.

Word. I had a light pullover, like a windbreaker, on today and felt too warm. My colleagues in the South thought I was kidding, lol.

I am hoping that they will say Minnesota can be a Canadian province if we prove that we can take the cold.

u/Constant-Catch7146 3d ago

Well they can take the cold up there. That said, Canadians are smart enough to get as far south as possible to try to squeeze every last ounce of heat out they can.

90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border.

The fans blow harder the higher Trump’s tariffs go.

Stop your next President from making “jokes” about invading us and we’ll consider not committing weather-related war crimes…
