Oymyakon, Siberia - the coldest town on earth.
I will not complain about the temperature here in Georgia this week... or ever again.

I'll still complain, 'cause we're a lot further south. 
However, Chicagoans and Sasketoons have the absolute and inalienable right to roll their eyes at us when we gripe about the temperature being lower than 25F.

Yeah really I mean come on. Folks in Geogia cannot complain about cold compared to people in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Hell even Chicago has been cold as hell for going on two weeks.

On Monday here in Chicago, it was -6, with a wind chill of -552....well, at least it felt like it.
More snow predicted.
Why do I live here?

Don't EVER forget about us Wisconsinites either!
I was up in Milwaukee last February for a business meeting. It was one of the coldest experiences of my life!
It's a great city though.~Brian~

Actually, I think no one who lives up in the tundra should be able to complain. It's the north. It's cold. Big surprise.
I keep asking Urban why all the damn Swedes who immigrated to the US moved to Chicago and Wisconsin and such. You'd have thought they'd say "fuck this, let's go to FLORIDA!"

Being 1/2 Swedish and from Chicago I know a little about the subject. My grandparents were from Stockholm and their parents brought them here. The thing is Swedes and Finns didn't just all start immigrating to Chicago, Wisconsin, And Minnesota. Little populations started and the news came back to Scandanavia that the temperment was alike to where they were from. Chicago, for example once had the largest concentration of Swedish immigrants out of Sweden of anywhere in the world. Its called Andersonville and I lived there for 25 years. It still has the greatest Swedish breakfast place called Sveas and Tre Kronor. Why go to Florida when your used to the cold? Once you get used to it, it aint that bad. Can't make snowmen out of sand or dirt.

People have a tendency to immigrate to climates that remind them of their homes. Rockford, IL also has a huge Swedish population, which is, incidentally, where my great-grandparents decided to settle when they immigrated to the US. They started out in New York, and just sort of moved south and stopped in northern IL.
If you look, you can see Swedish flags flying right underneath American flags in some homes in Rockford.
All I can say is, it was probably good for Sweden that the mass exodus nearly depopulated the country. Otherwise they might be incredibly over-populated today.
As for the cold, it's pretty warm here in the Springfield area. It's almost 40F! Which is funny because on Monday it was 3F.

Not only that, I recall Aki complaining about how hot it was, when he was here in Sept. While our winters are like summer, for them, summer for us would kill them.

Some of us are not here by choice. We were held captive & rasied nearby by our parents!
If I didn't a)live out in the middle of nowhere & b) Drive 100 miles roundtrip for work, I could deal with it better. My main issue is the snow, and lack of people who have the necessary skills driving in the white powdery stuff.
Not to mention having very little time to enjoy the few good things about winter up here.
We need to take Aki to FL or AZ in July... It'd be like watching a snowman melt in April!
j/k Aki......mostly!

A few mornings this week we had windchills in VA of single digits...I was reminded of winters in WI, and why I finally got the hell out. Course, I remember the way below zero windchills, and how somehow I always had to do stuff outside (get gas, change a damn flat tire...lol). No more! I can't imagine living even further north. Canadians ain't quite right.

I'm working on it.
Anyone interested in purchasing a three-bedroom townhome in Aurora, IL?
This is true. However, Vrykolokas the Gnome looks pretty sexy in a speedo....and has sand castle building down to a fine art.
Atlanta is unnecessarily warm in Spetember and October. Ugh!
I know....isn't it nice?

No, it's not nice! Stupid heat!
I perfer the cold weather, truth be told. It's easier for me to get warm when it's cold, than it is for me to stay cool when it's hot.
Though really, if the temperature would stay around 65-70 degrees F, anywhere, that'd be okay.

Check the Metro history page for more Swede confirmation.
"Metro was originally built in 1927 as a Swedish Community Center."

And yeah, it's been damn cold lately but today it feels warmer. Yay
