-You describe distance in time instead of miles-
Just reading through everyone's introductions from where they live and you know this one is true. I never knew that til my husband moved here from WA state and when asked where he was from he's say "30 miles north of seattle" to which every Minnesotan (myself included) replied with "so a half an hour away?" LOL0 -
...when you hear another snow storm is coming and you just shrug your shoulders and keep going strong.0

LOL! This has been the story of our lives for the past few months.0

When the temp drops to freezing in mid-May, and then is going to be 90 just a couple of days later.0

I've been out of Minnesota since 2005 (I visit a couple of times a year), and all I can say is: I have NO IDEA how I survived the humidity when I was there! Holy crap, every time I go back in July or August it just kicks my butt. Ugh!! And I think people must stay used to it, because nobody else around me complains about the sweaty grossness.
Also, saw some on article on Facebook floating around about Bloody Marys in Minnesota: I always wondered why bars where I live now (Spokane, WA) don't serve beer backs. There's only one I know of in town that does it and--surprise, surprise--one of the owners is originally from Minnesota. Beer backs might be the best thing that ever came from Minnesota.0 -
When you're exasperated you say "uffda".
My dad, who's British, said this a lot while climbing stairs and I picked up the habit. When I moved to Minnesota and my mother-in-law used it for exasperation, it made me chuckle.0 -
These all made me giggle. They are all so true.0

Haha, love these all :laugh:0

When people are surprised you don't sound like the movie Fargo.
When you start wearing shorts once it gets up to 35F. SO WARM!
If you'll never take the last piece of anything, that would rude.
shorts and hoodies FTW!!0 -

You know you're from MN when . . .
You support the TWINKIES
You hate green and gold together
You carry your pretty shoes to parties because you have to wear your winter boots
You've injured yourself on sidewalk ice
You really, REALLY watch the weather channel
You start craving fried cheese curds just before The Fair
You wear layered pjs to bed in the winter
You still pump your brakes on ice even though ABS brakes do it for you
You instinctively know which way to steer in a skid
Your Halloween costumes incorporated hats, mittens, scarves, boots, and long underwear
You use the back porch as a freezer in winter
You can tell the temp by the sound the snow makes under your feet
25 degrees and sunny is a beautiful day!
You recognize that fishing opener is a state holiday0 -
