Was stationed in CA for 6 years, did not adjust. I have no desire to grow food year round, 2 or 3 months of puttering in the garden is more than enough to annoy me already by harvest time. Hunt and fish for my protein which beats growing food any day of the week. I also happen to LIKE winter. I HATE summer, I find it incredibly annoying overall. The only issue I have had with winter is the last 20 years have almost all been warm ones, we never seem to get good cold stretches of -40 to -60 anymore. Genetically speaking, my body is set to run well in cold weather. Maybe I am a bit weird that way but I would be perfectly happy to see half of MN move out and give the rest of us more elbow room.
