Winter soon ?
This was on 35E just north of the Twin Cities yesterday, it was 82 degrees out so not sure where they were going sledding. And the red flag on the ski is cool.

Looks like an old late 70's eltigre or jag Artic Cat sled. They probably picked it up as a parts sled or a fixer upper. Innovative way to get it home though.

I hope so! Tired of the heat.

Before you know it your temps will dip into the frosty lower nineties and you'll be in mittens and scarves in no time.

December and January are the best months. Might see the 30's as a low and 60 as a high. I can live with that easily. I have no idea how the natives hacked it in this heat before AC. California isn't that far away, but unfortunately that's been spoiled by nut jobs now. I just might have one more move left in me.

Don't know if or where or when, but it's possible. My wife's job brought us to AZ, so it could take us elsewhere. The cities where she can go are: Minneapolis, Des Moines, Denver, SLC, San Antonio/Austin, Charlotte, Atlanta, Roanoke, El Monte and SF CA, and Portland. She's ruled out the southern states as she's been to a couple for work and didn't like it and neither of us care for humid weather. CA is too expensive, so it leaves the others.

If you move to Minneapolis you will have to learn to speak Minnesotan

Not sure it's possible. I have a decent NY accent. My wife like Minneapolis as she goes there on business trips, but the winters are worse than Iowa where we lived for over 9 years. YMMV.

Just practice saying "ya, sure" and you will fit right in, even with a NY accent.
