I would have done the same thing as her if I wasn't used to living in the frozen tundra!

I HATE the cold BUT I do love the spring, summer, and fall in WI. Also, as far as being in a location that has severe weather/storms, I'd rather be in an area where our worst issues are blizzards and snow storms. At least if you drive off the road because of how slippery it is, you'll likely just end up in a big, fluffy snow bank! I'd rather deal with that than hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, ect.. Plus, when we have huge snow storms, we have such massive equipment (snow plows, dump trucks to haul away the snow, salt & sand trucks to treat the slippery spots, etc.) that by the day after a big storm, you wouldn't even know we had one as far as the road conditions go.

The one thing that makes me VASTLY different from most Wisconsinites though.....I will turn down tickets to a Packers game (even if it IS for the NFC Championship!) if it's not going to be above 10 degrees! I'd much rather enjoy it from the comfiness of my own couch with a warm blanket and the fireplace going!
