I'm one. So is 999000, Cleric and Guppy that I know of.
BTW, at -15 I'm still grilling outdoors :)
-
Lived in Alaska for 14 years.... Cold? what cold?:D

I'm guessing Minnesota (Minneapolis in particular) would be my kind of place, since I love working in the deep freeze at my super market (-20 with a constant frost --- though said frost really speeds up the rate of frostbite).
And not to mention the fact that I deride people here for putting on jackets when it's only 54 outside and *sunny*. I put on a light jacket when it gets below freezing, and I usually don't need much more than that even when I hit the deep freeze out back (though like I said, frostbite's accelerated, so mittens or gloves are usually worn).
Minnesotan (or Canadian) at heart, I guess.

Rosemount, Minnesota here. Supposed to hit -40 wind chills on Sunday last I heard. That's a bit cold :)
I lived in New Orleans for a couple years. It always cracked me up to see folks dressed like it was 40 below when it was 40 above. Not even sweatshirt weather yet and they'd have winter jackets, gloves, hats and scarves on.
Had to come back home to raise the kids
-
Born in St. Paul.
Moved to SC very early because mom wanted to get out of the cold.
-
Just up the Interstate and across the muddy creek in Fargo ND.
Born and bred on the other side of the river though.
Forhim is down that way, Rodgers area I think.

Not a Minnesotan, but saw Steven Colbert the other day talking about Obama winning the Minnesota primary. He explained it by showing a clip of "the number one Home boy, Garrison Keiller," with hip hop playing in the background.
The punch line came a moment later, when he received a "fax from the NAACP" sending a Cease and Desist order since "Garrison Keiller..yada yada yada...is the whitest man alive..."

About 70 miles E of the border.

Grew up in Mpls and St Paul (over by the fair grounds) Lived and went to school in Nord East, South and SE over by dinky town. lived up in prospect park by the witches hat for years. got tired of the humidity and moved to Ca. BTW I played on the first jack's auto repair softball team when i was 16 and I was #16, with Garrison and others. sure miss the people there but not the humidity.
-
I grew up in rural southern Minnesota and stayed in the metro area after finishing at the U.
It's -13F with -40F wind chill outside as I right this. The humidity is very low, though - we would welcome you back, ausmith! :D ;)

999, I was working up in Vadnais Heights for about a year. I walked outside one day and 4 B-17's were flying over in formation! I started dreaming about AH :) Another day I walked out and at least 20 military helicopters were going over.
-
no chit?? Lucky stuff there!! Surprisingly there isn't a lot of military fly overs and such down here in Florida like there were in Minnesota. The only time ive seen a C-130 is when i was out at coco beach and they were practicing water rescue with the air force pjs. I see Crazy horse fly around now and then, but not often. His hanger is out in kissimmee. By the way Crazy horse is a P-51D. Back in Minnesota, id see C-130s flying around, T-6s, the works.
I miss Minnesota! lol

You've got both reserve and Air Guard C-130s at the Mpls/St.Paul airport so those are up all the time. F-16s out of Duluth and plenty of warbirds with the CAF wing at Holeman field with their B-25 and others. Anoka still has a bunch including Mustangs and 25s There is a growing collection in Granite Falls that includes a P38L and P40s. Lots of T-6s about.
And back before they were retired from the job, the B17s were over a lot fighting forest fires up north. I remember playing first base in a Babe Ruth league baseball game and having the game stop as everyone looked up and a flight of 4 B17s were headed north to the fires. This was probably 1973
-
Well before my time!
lol
But theres so many Air Force and Navy bases down here, i expected to see more fly overs....
:confused: :huh :cry :(
