WTF! Why? Why do you live there?

On a different note, if you pee outdoors in that temperature does it freeze before it hits the floor?

Beats living in a crowded busy city down south or having a super long commute etc. It has it's upsides. That and no insane 35+ heat in the summer, or at least that's rare. I'll take the cold over the intense heat. TBH if I was not tied to a job I would not be against going even further North, perhaps off grid, but still near enough a city. Well I'd still want internet but owning a big chunk of lake front land where I live off solar, wind, etc has always been my dream. If I win the lotto I'd be looking around for such land. Idealy would not really want to be that far from family but lot of smaller communities in the area where it's cheaper to live tax wise.

Never tried peeing in that temp but I have a feeling it would be problematic trying to get the equipment out.

what's the point of having a lake if you can't even go for a dip because it's always cold?

That region still hits decent temps in the summer. Plus lots of fishing season. Plus lots of ice fishing season. Plus lots of ice skating season. Plus it isn't concrete. I can think of a thousand reasons why I'd love living on a small lake most of the time regardless of season.

I'm from the South (US) and it's usually mild, but there was a crazy cold front one year that put us at under -20F and it was the coldest spot in the nation that day (suck it, International Falls!). I could spit and it would freeze before it hit the ground. I doubt pee would have though.

I've realized with your post history everything seems to be black and white to you. People either live in a busy city like NYC or in the middle of nowhere. It's either -30 degrees or scorching hot.

I hate to be the one to break this to you but there is a lot in between all of your extremes.

I'm sure there are exceptions but generally the more south you go the more busy it gets. What people down south call a "small city" is the size of where I live now or even bigger. There are smaller cities in the GTA and rest of southern Ontario region and I assume the states too but you're still more or less living in the middle of an highly dense urban area. House prices are also much higher. Though not as bad as right in Toronto where they go for like a million.

The summers here are also nice, not as scorching hot. Lots of advantages to the north, being in a less crowded area is only one of them.

Yeah while everyone is suffering in 30C+ weather we get 22's and stuff and it's just perfect. Though it can also be very sporadic from year to year. It's also great to be able to actually see stars and northern lights and overall being closer to nature. Something you don't really get down south, even in a "smaller" city.

Ive pissed when its -30C out, it froze as soon as it hit the ground not on the way down. However red is right about one thing, was hard to hold onto the equipment due to the rapid shrinkage

yeah when its small to begin with the cold just makes it shrivel into nothing.

I'd rather be hot than freezing. I'd also like to be within walking distance of many amenities like food and entertainment, a barber shop and some coffee - whatever.

To each his own though. We all have different wants and needs.

I'm confused, are you saying most of the US is more or less in the middle of highly dense urban areas?

just because the average population density is higher it doesn't mean you can't find empty/rural places.

I live in the blue banana in Europe and if I had a remote job I could go live in a valley for cheap no issues, if I didn't want to see people, while still staying in the blue banana.

If you don't mind these supercold temps, more power to you.

I like swimming in prealpine rivers and you can't really enjoy that if you don't have regular 28°+ weather unless you're a bear, plus I don't mind the warmth, while I hate snow and how difficult it makes it to walk.

It is a cruel joke of nature that cold does that to men, but makes the puppies stand up and beg.

He's talking about Canada.
Other than the "and I assume the states too" that would appear to be correct.

I'd set the house on fire just to keep warm in that kind of weather.

I think it's neat that when I leave the house in the morning and the moisture still in my beard and hair instantly freezes. Feels neat.
