This would give us two weeks of considerably colder weather than normal. With nothing better to do, I turn to hypotheticals. If this weather were not an anomaly, but the norm for the entire winter in TV, would this change anyone's mind about living here? How about snowbirding here?
I have a somewhat twisted theory that this could actually make living here even better, but before laying that out, I'd like to hear the answer to the above questions from anyone having nothing better to do on a dreary day.

I will reluctantly and with great trepidation trade weather with you poor unfortunate. We have had 3 consecutive weeks of below freezing temps, including at least six days with morning lows of BELOW ZERO
We are anticipating with great excitement a high on Wednesday of close to 40 above!!!! Oh sure, there is that pesky 23 inches of snow that was blown around in 35 mile per hour winds, but that allowed me to spend many solitary hours of self contemplation with a snow shovel in hand. You pay an amenity fee for the privilege of using the recreational opportunities in TV, while we get a great cardiovascular workout for free! Now, because I am altruistic and sacrifice for others sake is my mission in life, I wll agree to trade homes with you for the next 30 days (however you may have to pay a small boot which I am sure you will gladly fork over for the opportunity to witness our lovely bare trees and dormant flora.) I will look forward to your response, but this offer will not last much longer..............................But wait!!! If you contact me in the next 24 hours I will double the offer - that's right TWO full months of delightful North Missouri winter. Please, this offer is limited and only available to NJ because of his/her misery.
