I grew up in Minnesota. The land of loons, and of some spotted waterfowl of
the same name. We'd hoof it a couple miles to school in 20 inches of snow
and sub-zero temps every day. We'd build and sleep in snow caves just for
fun.
But I'll admit. Now that I've moved a wee bit south and it's not quite as
cold here (-20F instead of -40F), I'm spoiled for the warmth. I don't know
how people in Canada north of Superior do it.
