My mom and her 12 brothers and sisters left Minnesota after high school and never went back. She said she hated the summers as much as the winters.

I remember the Messabi Iron Range from a trip some 65? years ago, and the iron train coming down to the lake with the ~3mi long bridge dead ending out in the lake.....dump the ore into barges then towed down to towns like Chicago/Cleveland, etc.....THAT was an experience, felt just like an earthquake, train going 900 mph downhill with NO brakes.....

Reserve Mining dumped taconite tailing into Superior for 25 years. I'm no environmentalist lunatic but that's bullshit.

That Hull-Rust Mine is one gigantic MoFo.

There is some stuff called Fluid Film. You can even get it at Walmart. ALL the mechanics up north swear by it to prevent rust issues from the salty roads. I would soak the underside of that truck in it.

Our local .gov auctioned off a car wash system they had used for buses, etc...it only went for a few hundred bucks. If I'd have the place to install it I would have jumped on it.

I wish I had the ability to wash in my garage during the winter months. My two motorcycles are there and a bunch of other shit. I could keep the bikes at the dealership but I don't have heat or water. The self serve car wash is gonna have to do.

Our current weather is perfect.
70’s during the day
50’s at night.
An occasional cold snap will come through and get to the 30’s.

Best time of the year IMO
