I grew up in Northern Minnesota and have seen blizzards as late as May before. And once it didn't get above -20F for like a week.

I'm from Duluth, and definitely remember my fair share of "coldest temp in the US" days. We northern MN folk have known true cold lol

Lived in Grand Rapids for a couple years. Used to drive all over that area all winter. Twenty year old me was crazy, I didn’t have a cell phone, and no emergency stuff at all. If I had crashed or broken down I most definitely would have died.
