BTW, I would be willing to bet that people from the plain states would be miserable if they spent a traditional winter in Ashtabula, Conneaut or Erie. During a year when the lake does not freeze until late, the moisture makes life just miserable. Most of the plain states have a much more dry cold. However, I do agree that once you get down in temp ...cold is cold.
Cold is cold. Coldest days in Fargo could be dangerous for players and fans. Don't forget, they call it the "plains" because there is nothing to stop the wind either!
The coldest Fargo days on record are:
10 Jan 1982 -38°F
1 Feb 1996 -37.1°F
30 Jan 2004 -36°F
16 Jan 1977 -35.1°F
29 Jan 1951 -35°F
Same for "dry heat". I have a golf buddy, that when we were playing in Las Vegas at 109 and somebody says "but it's a dry heat", Ken says, "my oven is a dry heat, but it will still bake a turkey!"
BTW, I'm not sure I really like your analogy. Who wouldn't be miserable spending time (anytime) in Ashtabula, Conneaut or Erie?
