tjspiel, there you go again, talking like it's not so bad. You're comparing your current winters with your past winters or with winters in the northern part of MN. All I can focus on is how cold it gets there. The stories I've heard are amazing.
It's 38ºF here (3ºC), with 59% humidity. It's really humid in this area, ten months a year, from November through August. So I do understand the point about dry extreme cold being better than wet moderate cold. I just rode two miles each way to see a client. Most people around here find it very uncomfortable.
Edmonton sounds nice. How windy is it? I bet it's not as bad as Minneapolis.
We get a ton of grey sky days in the winter, too, because of our high humidity.
