Lol.. I live there. Polar vortex and all.. and that vortex impacted most of the country. The flip side is that houses are pretty cheap. You can buy in most brackets in almost any area you want to live in. Taxes aren't that bad. Cost of living is cheap. Summers are great.
Which side do you live on, the houses on the east side are up there. Taxes are that bad. I lived there for over a decade, and my family is still there.
