In a housing pickle. Thoughts? Ideas?

Ok, Jake - Twin Cities report. Have you been? It is so awesome here and I've only seen a little bit. Too bad I only have a day and a few hours here. I wasn't that serious when I mentioned it before, but now I am. The trees, the lakes - there are kayakers and canoers everywhere right in the city. And all the SLers. I am so getting a van within a few years so I can live throughout Minnesota, especially here.
If you are considering other states you should give it serious consideration.

That city is on my list, or rather, those cities are on my list. The problem is that it is cold! But I suppose I could learn to ice fish and teach my dog to pull my sled to work from Sept. 1st to July 1st.

Well, luckily you're already in Ohio, so you're used to some cold. I'm not sure how much of a difference there is. What helps in Winnipeg, and I've heard in Minneapolis is if you live downtown there are indoor walkways so you don't have to actually walk outside that much in the winter if you live and work in those areas. But there are of course benefits to not living in the core, and in the winter is it better to bus or drive? I hate transferring buses and also driving in the winter so I try to just live where it's one bus to most places.
Winter's also great for practicing your stoicism techniques, which you might enjoy.

Oh Kestra... You know I dig my stoicism! haha

Central Ohio is nice from roughly April through October. Jan. and Feb. are bitter cold though.

As I'm just waiting around for roommate to get up so we can do something I took the time to look up average January high temperatures.
Winnipeg 10F
Minneapolis 22
Columbus 35

Columbus would seem super mild to me in the winter.

35 degrees is fairly cold by central Ohio standards. But considering it is roughly 35 in Winnipeg right now, in the middle of summer, I am sure you can see why I would have apprehensions about moving north.

? It hasn't been 35F for several months now. It's about 65 right now. Has been around 80-85 plus humidity for most of July. Though, yes of course, overall it's cooler than most places. Lots of people move out to BC for the better climate.

65 in Winnipeg? I refuse to believe that.

Winnipeg is a tropical paradise compared to Edmonton in the summer, though it seems to have gotten a lot warmer there since I lived there as a kid.

You slackers need to burn more fossil fuels.

Oh, our government is on it. They don't care what us tree hugging, liberals or First Nations people have to say. Alberta and Ontario need their rich, SUV driving, cattle-farming, car-building, industrialists to keep voting in these horrible conservative governments.
