The Midwest seems cozy, is it?
It depends on your definition of cozy
>>53757328
It isn't, send help.
Chicago is a shitty city and I don't wanna die in a tornado. I like Minnesota though, and des moines was a comfy small, albeit a lil boring, city.
fairly
hate going outside right now though
only if by cozy you mean "devoid of joy or excitement"
>>53757328
If by cozy you mean cold as fuck....
>>53757328
I've only been to Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
Missouri is shit, Southern Illinois varies, and Indiana is okay.
>>53757328
rust belt is cozy as long as you avoid black people
>>53757328
Minnesota is probably the best in the region, if not one of the best in the country

>some of the worst cities in the country
>>53757404
It's like -20 right now though
fuck, don't know if I would want to make that trade off for a little boost in macro societal stats that have little effect on me
>>53757328
never been further from chicago than oswego, illinois in america
i cant really say
>>53757430
>It's like -20 right now though
Is that supposed to be a negative?
>>53757328
Pretty comfy to be honest family.
>>53757471
If you never leave your house, maybe not
nope. you'd hate it here. it's a shithole.
>>53757545
what the fug
>>53757545
thats michigan tho
only -15 C in illinois/1 F
>>53757494
-8f / -20 celsius is not cold.
What it FEELS like is not the real temperature, no matter how much you Americans / Canadians seem to think so.
Chicago here, not very comfy imo
>>53757654
>that's michigan
u focking wot
>>53757845
we needed a central location to collectively discharge all our discomfort too, it's the burden you must bear
This seems like a good place to ask, is there anything cool to do in Minnesota? I'm going to visit in a few months but it just looks cold.
>>53757545
>Wind chills
Why the fuck do you Americans measure temperature in wind chill?

Do you derive a sense of pride from this
you're only ever in your basement anyway
I live in Indiana and honestly it's really dirty and boring and everybody is rude and shitty.
I've been to Chicago too and I think that's somehow even worse.
>>53757967
Chicago fucking sucks.
Give me new York any day
Yes
>few negros
>small comfy towns
>low taxes and everything is cheap af
>>53757937
But why? It's misleading. The real temperature could be anything.
>>53757955
Yes. I take pride on correcting Americans on what is actually cold and what is not. Do you have a problem with that?
>you're only ever in your basement anyway
I'm working and I live in an apartment.
>>53758044
>I'm working and I live in an apartment.
Namely, working outside.
>>53758044
you can read the wikipedia article on it if you like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill
i don't think it will help though as you clearly only visit this website to stroke your ego
>>53758044
>Yes. I take pride on correcting Americans on what is actually cold and what is not. Do you have a problem with that?
Wind chill is a more precise measure of the subjective relation of cold with regards to human sensation. Do you have an issue with extra precision you goddamn autist? No, that's not it, you're just being petulant for the sake of lecturing a thread full of Americans. Go crawl back to your anime echo chamber you sissy little cuck.

>few negros
any medium sized or major city in the midwest will be at least 1/4 black
>>53757381
>Missouri is shit
how bout you fuck off
Southern and northern Minnesota is as cozy as can be. Friendly people, cool places to go, cozy places to camp, bluffs, hills, plains, lakes, the works. We also are just an all around great place to live with lots of jobs and a decent education system. I love it here. I'm so lucky I grew up here.

You're from LAX? Do you go to UWL or VU?

>Wind-chill or windchill, (popularly wind chill factor) is the perceived decrease in air temperature felt by the body on exposed skin due to the flow of air.
>EXPOSED SKIN
How much exposed skin do you have when it's below -25 celsius outside?
What if you're in a forest, in a tightly built urban area? Somewhere where the wind doesn't reach?
What if you're wearing actual winter clothing?
When I look at the temperature, I'm not interested in how my face feels when it's in the wind. What I want to know is the actual temperature, so I can dress adequately for what I'm doing.

>The stories etc. on this website are fiction etc. etc.

That's why you stick to the suburbs or towns

>>53758303
the finn's right you know
wind chill is an absurdity
just an absurdity, after all, you americans use the imperial system, say 3/22/15 instead of 22/03/15, put the dollar sign in front of the money like $15...
>>53758303
I like how you get fucking told and you're still babbling on about some useless shit no one gives a fuck about
Enjoy your response
>>53758713
>>53758303
No it isn't. It's a matter of practicality. People want to know what it feels like outside. They're going to bundle up regardless. You are being autistic morons and contrarians for the sake of it, but that is par for the course. How the conditions feel on your skin are in fact more relevant than the possibility of it ever reaching absolute zero outside you faggots.
>>53757328
Everything except Ohio and Illinois is good.
>>53758757
>>53758713
>>53758303
also, to add. We usually show both objective temperature and wind chill side by side, for the sake of convenience. So really, you're crying about nothing. Hope you enjoyed yourselves.
>>53758044
We measure windchill because it can make a day feel far colder than it actually is. You'd be making a mistake to dress for 30 F weather when the windchill makes it 5 F (this happened where I live recently.)
>>53757328
>Good tier:
Minnesota, UP, Wisconsin
>Okay tier
LP
>Bad tier
Illinois, Indiana

N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio
Is this accurate?
>>53758913
no
>>53758913
Not sure why on earth the LP is okay..
It's definitely shit
>>53758727
I thought you got so buttblasted you wouldn't answer. Now if you could only swallow your pride and admit that the usage of Windchill as you Americans do is pointless and stupid.
>>53758757
>People want to know what it feels like outside.
Windchill doesn't answer that. It answers how cold it seems to be on your exposed skin when facing the wind andwalking into it at 1.4 metres per second.
It does nothing to answer how cold it actually is and how cold, (or not) you feel under your clothing, which is the vast majority of your body.
>>53758811
>We measure windchill because it can make a day feel far colder than it actually is
Or you could just measure the wind and anyone who's not retarded would realise that it feels colder on exposed skin.
>You'd be making a mistake to dress for 30 F weather when the windchill makes it 5 F
You'd be making a mistake to dress for 30F. What you should dress for is a windy 5F weather. What you'd need to do is cover exposed skin instead of putting on warmer clothing.

You just don't want to stop. You aren't even meaning anything anymore you're just arguing for the sake of it. This is sort of comedic.
>today, I will seek out the Americans and find something to chide them about
>>53757870
Somalians. Swedes. Stereotypical Americans. Horrible accents. Cold. Lakes. Beaners.
About it.
are you retarded ?
anyone that ever stepped outside his basement knows what 10- sorry, FIFTY degrees feel like, they shouldnt have any problem feeling another temperature, 50F as a reference
Where are my /kansascity/ bros?

If you're into camping or water activities, going up to the northern part of the state would be the best, although there's many state parks which are nice. There's fishing, Mall of America, the bluffs in south east MN, Niagara Cave is neat too.

We need a US general desu
I think so. I fucking love Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and parts of South Dakota, Missouri, Iowa, and Indiana. I've never been to North Dakota. Kansas and Nebraska aren't worth going to.
Nothing is better than a Midwestern Christmas, though.
Unless you really dislike the weather (which I do not - I love weather for the most part), most of the Midwest is a more enjoyable place to live than the Sun Belt.
Imo, the Sun Belt is one of the most boring fucking places to live, unless you live way outside of civilization.
Chicago is a fantastic city. People who talk about it being dangerous either live in/near one of the few shitty neighborhoods that every city has, or are fed bullshit by the news. I've never had a problem in that town. Santa Fe, San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, on the other hand, plenty of problems.
