Here is my totally non scientific reply, I think the winters are so long and harsh you are forced to actually stay inside with your family and interact far more than elsewhere. Jodi and I actually discussed this topic one evening here awhile back. We were discussing the plus and minus of living up here on the frozen tundra and we both agreed our bond has become much stronger here and it was pretty darn strong when we got here. The interaction between family members is much more internal if you will, since you are physically deprived of external stimuli due to the weather. As a result you simply get to know them better and on a deeper emotional level. The by product of course is stronger bonding between family members. By same token I think ND leads the nation in alcohol consumption per capita as well? Coincidence? How’s that for some Freudian thoughts this morning.

Yep yesterday was a prime example, with sub zero temps and a fifty plus mph winds, every two minutes the radio was doing PSA explaining frost bite in less than ten minutes on exposed skin. Yesterday sucked.

Spent a lot of time in some very cold places when I was in the service. -60 ambient air temp was the coldest ....and I was living in a snow trench shelter at the time :thumbsup:
 
Today the misses wants to go to Costco and Ross Dress For Less. Only good thing about this for me is gonna grab some Superbowl snacks for Sunday. Sometimes there's hotties at Ross : ) Last good thing is we are making a detour on the way there (she doesn't know yet), garage sale with a bunch of bench vices for sale, hoping there's still a decent one left.
 
Someone drove through the front of a business down the street. WTF? Missed the liquor store by a foot. What a friggen mess that would be! The wall outside the drivers door is all wine on the other side.

People in cars have lost their minds over the last two years.
