30 F to 88 F is not for you? While that's probably true, I'm greatly amused by people who can't survive outside, say, California.
Having no real winter must get really boring.
I'm ok with cold. Sort of. It's the rain and lack of hot that would bother me. I actually live in Oregon's "high desert", which is more of a steppe, really.
My ideal summer includes a month or two of 30C, rather than that being the highest temperature ever recorded.
You may actually enjoy Minneapolis, then. It gets to be about 35 C in the height of summer. Winters are about -10 C, on average.
We have more mountains here in Oregon and it's dryer east of the Cascades.
Fair enough - I know "Hell" is in Norway, but that sounds pretty close to me!
Wow! Living in Canada's "Humid subcontinental" with a range from high to low of about 80C and cherishing the few weeks a year we get this moderate range, I should make it a life goal to move in such a place. I wonder if the wind is that big of a deal.
I've met Canadians who move here. They still complain about the cold - because the insides of our houses are typically not much warmer than the outside. 5 degrees celcius is pleasant weather for a stroll, but being surrounded by 5 degree air is not that pleasant when you're indoors and trying to sleep.
Record low is just below freezing? I'm fine with that.
I don't get it. That seems perfectly pleasant. Not too hot, not too cold.
