Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
We do adopt, or trade for. We still regret the mel for Midget trade. And although it took some work, we did acquire divadork via free agency. Although to be honest, that was a Jeckyll and Hyde acquisition.

100% true
Sounds like a classic tournament snow storm. This would be at least the fourth 10+ inch snow storm of the season.
Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
I've missed the tourney snowstorms. It used to be a tradition. In the past few years, notsomuch.

Transplants don't count, MEg and 'diva and flashy don't count. You have to have been born here, or spent the majority of your years growing up here.
Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
Better now than during the F5 (or, being that it's MN), the F4.

Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
F5 week looks a bit colder than what we've seen in recent years (highs only in the 30s). It's a bit too far out to know for sure if this forecast will hold true, but it's something to go on (and with all the snow on the ground, it takes a lot to get above 40 - gotta have a really warm surge of air in the upper levels mixing down to the ground; warm air at the surface pushing north over the snowpack gets modified too much and tends to just create a ton of fog/haze).
Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
I can handle 30's. Hell, the last couple years for the MTU-MN series, it's been way colder than that.

No.
Eat a bag of diks. I'm here, dammit, and I'll talk about all the freaking weather I want.
C'mon Snow Day in Duluth

Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
Since we recruited Divadork, she is correct. Divadork didn't try and barge in, unwanted. Divadork will never be 100% Minnesotan, but they do get some privileges, and talking about the weather is one of them. However, claiming to be "one of us" is not allowable at this time.

I don't think either of us will ever make that claim. He's inexplicably proud of the fact that he was unfortunately born in WI, and I just know better.

Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
There are ways to become "one of us." Proud of being born in WI is not the way to do it.
Length of residency is one of the requirements. Minnesota Nice will creep into your behavior the longer you stay here, and bodes well if you ever want to claim the One Of Us standing. The love of hockey requirement is obviously met. There are little nuances like "It's not a MN wedding without a polka," "going about your daily business despite 987532 inches of snow being dumped on you in 3 hours," and "driving with your windows down when the first post-winter 40 degree day hits" are some of them.

Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
Al Franken was born here and I don't consider him a Minnesotan.
I feel the only way you're a Minnesotan is if you're born here, raised here, and live here now. Going to college here helps, but I understand some may want to go to a school that has a DI athletic program...
You also have to criticize Minnesota sports teams.

Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
Can't remember where I got this:
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through l8 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Minnesota.
If you're proud that your state makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Minnesota.
If you have ever refused to buy something because it's "too spendy", you might live in Minnesota.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Minnesota.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Minnesota.
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Minnesota.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Minnesota.
If you have apologized to a telemarketer, you might live in Minnesota.
If you may not have actually eaten it, but you have heard of lutefisk, you might live in Minnesota.
You have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Minnesota. (I do this all the time
)
If you have either a pet or a child named "Kirby", you might live in Minnesota.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Minnesota.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Minnesota.
If you know how to say Wayzata, Mahtomedi, Edina and Shakopee, you might live in Minnesota.
If you grew up thinking rice was only for dessert, you might live in Minnesota.
If every time you see moonlight on a lake, you think of a dancing bear, and you sing gently, "From the land of sky-blue waters, ....."Hamm's the beer refreshing", you might live in Minnesota.

Especially the "Kirby" thing.
