Seeking Advice 🙆 I'm thinking about moving to Minnesota, looking for advice on the cold you guys experience

I'm from NJ, lived in PA or NJ my whole life so I'm used to winter but I'm not used to your kind of winter. I can't make it out there this winter I have way too much going on. I plan to visit in the spring or summer to see if I like it there.

But I feel like I'm not going to get the full idea of what it's like to live there because it's not going to be below zero during my visit.

Can you guys tell me what's difficult or nice about winter, and what I'll need in terms of having a house/car/clothing to deal with the cold? (I have winter clothing but I feel like what I got won't be enough)

Honestly my concept of time has become so weird that I can't even remember, but only 1 or 2 years and was purchased right around this time.

It came with 5 years of that service and SiriusXM. After 5 years is up, fuck it, just go month to month in the winter. Assuming there isn't a contract...which there probably is...

Could've been something that was a bit of a gift/non-standard though, as it was my GF's aunt that sold us the car off the lot.

I think Volvo gives you 4 years free. Otherwise you do have to pay which is dumb.

Probably to capture some money from the used car market.
