NOTHING like the Minnesota winters though. They can be brutal and seem to last for four months or more. Of course, some parts of Minnesota are a great deal colder than others like International Falls.
I chose Minnesota because I had scores of relatives there through my double cousin who married an Irish-American from Edina who had a huge family there. That was for law school. Only saw them though pretty much after I graduated from law school as I was extremely busy working my way through law school.
Double cousin and his wife are now on Cape Cod, MA after he worked various jobs in Washington State connected to being a game warden.
Other double cousin is a mucky-muck here in Florida and probably plays golf with the Morses.
Brothers married sisters= double cousins.
