There are quite a number of folks in the upper Midwest that enjoy the seasons that provide the variety and beauty it is famous for. Even winter has beauty. If you want, like so many choose, you can leave the cold behind for a few weeks or months, and find a sweeter spot to live. As for tornadoes, it seems other parts of the U.S. have been more affected than N.D. or MN. So, I think that concern is limited. As for heart attacks, you were very likely a candidate before shovelling snow, it was only brought about sooner. As humans, we can find ways to adapt, and we must use the resources available to us for that purpose.

no thanks – came from the mid-west – – way toooo cold, and too much crime. some of the very cities mentioned are the very cities that appear on cop shows regularly and it’s due to the criminal activity. we’ve migrated to south Texas – – yes, it’s hot this year, but sure beats the cold winters up north. cost of almost everything – rent, groceries, gas – are much more reasonable down here and crimes are not so “random” – mostly between family members or groups. as for immigration – heck they head north asap. they don’t want to hang around down here. we’re lov’in it down here and best of all, feel safe.
