No! We don’t have them on our cars and never have an issue. We do park in a garage (out of the wind) but it doesn’t seem necessary. I enjoy my heated seats when it gets really cold but I’d be fine without. 😊 welcome! Let me know if you need help finding a home.
This is a great vid. I am moving to Minnesota from California next month. Yup, a huge change. Thanks you the tips, especially about things I should have in my car.

@@MarySchumann I'm just happy to be moving there I'm going to be getting married soon to my soon to be wife who is from there everybody keeps telling me that it's a big change it's pretty funny because I have neighbors that moved here from Wisconsin and right across the street from them are neighbors that moved from Illinois haha and they're telling me that they got away from the Midwest cause of the winters and that Minnesota takes the title of being the coldest of the cold so I'm just trying to prepare for what's to come 🌨️❄️ 🥶
@@JLbeatsandstuff I think the dakotas are worse! nothing to slow down the wind! Just wear layers and keep your appendages covered. I think if you embrace the cold rather than resent it you'll be fine. ;) Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
It’s nothing to worry about! Just be sure to have proper clothing and you’ll be fine! Let me know if you need any help with your home. And thank you for watching!!
@@MarySchumann I need a place to stay in july, A room, An apartment 1,3k is fine too, around Golden Valley, if you know some where, please show me. Thanks
Hi - I don’t work in rentals but you can check sites like apartments.com to find rentals, I think Zillow has them, and you can even check Facebook marketplace- I’ve heard of a lot of people having success there
Than you so much for the great tips, I love Minnesota. Came here to visit, then end up moving all the way from Florida lol hopefully in a year or two I’ll find a beautiful home to buy.
Let me know if I can help you! Drop a comment or contact me here: I'm a Realtor® at Keller Williams Realty Integrity Lakes 1350 Lagoon Ave. Suite 900, Minneapolis MN 55408 773.791.2015 mobile or 612-234-5703
I could definitely survive winter in Minnesota with the right clothes, but in Florida my mental well being definitely wouldn’t survive because I love the winter weather.
I'm from Minnesota it is a big shock going from being used to warm weather to fridged cold weather but what people don't realize you do eventually get used to it can get minus 60 below windshield and 30-40 for the temp.minneosta can have quit a few colder days then it does in Anchorage, Alaska or other cities In alaska.its.the midwest
I'll be visiting in December until early January. This will also be my first rodeo. What type of clothing do you recommend? I need to start buying some winter clothes
Asha! I apologize for not responding earlier - make sure you have ahat, gloves, warm boots and a thick wind proof coat. We generally say layers are best here - they make pockets of warm air and also give some flexibility. You definitely want the extremities covered!
Layer up.janaury and February are the coldest months here and get some snow pants it helps.one more thing,try ice fishing.experiance it while you're here
You forgot to add the stiff 40mph NW winds while driving on pure ice at 5am going to work in whiteout conditions with the temp being a little chilly at -25.
Thanks for the boost of confidence. I needed it. I get cold when it gets under 70 & start looking for a jacket. I just have to prepare before I head there soon.
I just wanted to say that I love your UA-cam channel! Such an excellent personality and I definitely would love to have you as my realtor if I move to Minnesota
@@MarySchumann I currently live in Arizona and have been since I was seven years old, just ready for a change from the heat! I work from home but my job only allows us to move to a couple of different states, most of them being the south and the Southwest and I’m not really interested in the south LOL the only other states were Minnesota and Ohio. Just want something with four seasons🙂
It’s funny because I think a lot of people have the opposite idea- seems like they want heat all the time- I’m in favor of seasons! Also hearing a lot of people that can live anywhere and choosing MN. 😊
@@MarySchumann we have five seasons not 4.spring,summer,fall,winter and road construction.the one thing that sucks about living in Minnesota is the all year road construction.non stop
Hey Mary ,, i used to live in MN for my 2 years collage ,, then i left MN to Atlanta to continue my University degree i lived in Atlanta almost three years ,, love it as a city ,, but i don't like the ppl over their ,, be honest with you :)) ,, i didn't like the winter in MN(being from Kuwait of course i won't like the snow :)) ) but i loved the ppl over there ,, they are so kind , peacefull , and freindly ,, lovely ppl ,,, my quesition for you ,, ,, what did make you to move from atlanta to MN?? ,, because ppl looking for good and nice weather and big city ,, i know MN in Spring through Fall has beautiful weather but in winter is awful , but if you asked me what did u prefer to live , what your choice ? well , definitely i will pick MN ,, for one reason , is ppl are sooooooo nice and save to live :)***
I actually lived in Chicago before MN , and I am originally from the midwest, so I feel very at home here. My husband took a new job in MN and here we are! I liked all the places I've lived for different reasons - loved living in the city of Chicago when I was young and single, but now that we are in MPLS I love the smaller city lifestyle which is easier to manage when you have a family. I laugh because someone said to me "Minnesota isn't for everyone." and that is definitely true - but it IS for a lot of people! Many people love winter (me among them). Thanks for watching!
@@MarySchumann" Minnesota For everyone " Yes for everyone ,, because of awesome ppl who lived their , that is why my thinking when I decide to move and live in a state in united state definitely i will choice MN ,, more secure and more loveable state , and u don't know how much I love the state and the Minnesotan ppl especially the north :)) but my problem is winter in MN :)) like it in Kuwait the summer is awful hot and humid :)),,,, thank you Mary ,, God bless ya
@@MrDoraville I'm from the twin cities.i love everything about the city life because there is so much to do but what's going on right now it's distroying what mn/st.paul.area really is.sad that they are doing that to the area.pisses me off.you well eventually get used to the winters and enjoy everything it has to offer
@@jeffwinters2126 am a Kuwaiti guy, who lived in MN during my study at the college, then I moved to Atlanta GA for the same purpose, being a Kuwaiti student comparing between MN & GA, there is no comparison at all. ppl in MN so friendly and kind,, but in Atlanta GA, wild and not friendly at all :)) but Atlanta city is gorgeous and beautiful :)) the problem in MN for me only Winter season :)) other than that is nothing ,, love u MN from the bottom of my heart :))
Im thinking to go there in a few years to complete my master degree in Metropolitan State University,im from Puerto Rico,and its hot af,do u thinking im gonna enjoy it,or search for another state ?
You're asking someone that loves winter and hates to be hot... There are a few times when I think it's a bit "much" but overall I think if you are open to new experiences and also invest in the right clothing you'll be fine. I think its alarming(?) when I see people here in winter with a light jacket and parts of their bodies not covered (hands, head, boots on feet) - winter is serious, but if you treat it with respect you'll be 100% fine. And you may like a change of pace for a year or two! MN is known for having high educational standards too, so I would hate to think about giving up that opportunity because of weather. :)
Moving there in 3 weeks. Do I need an automatic car starter?
No! We don’t have them on our cars and never have an issue. We do park in a garage (out of the wind) but it doesn’t seem necessary. I enjoy my heated seats when it gets really cold but I’d be fine without. 😊 welcome! Let me know if you need help finding a home.
Too funny too true!!!
Just moved to northern Minnesota from Phoenix, this will be my first winter! Thanks for the tips they were great 😀

Same! I hate being hot! ;) thanks for watching Paul!
@@MarySchumann I don't think Minnesota is cold enough to be honest. -30 doesn't really feel that cold, and I don't wear much clothing either.
Personally, I sleep in boxers with my window wide open in January and February. 😂😂😂😅
😳 thats a lot of information 😂
I can’t survive there so I’m not going to risk living there
it's good to know your limits!
I can stay alive 👌🙂
thanks for watching!
I live there I've lived for this long I think I can last awhile longer

@@jeffwinters2126 great advice! And I love your last name - it adds to your credibility. :)
#6 is a lie. Go to work, go home. Do not go outside. Drink hot chocolate/apple cidar. It's too cold for all that. I've lived heart my entire life.
🤣 you should watch my “Minnesota is not for everyone” video. 😂 thanks for watching!
Hi there, thank you for sharing such an insightful post. I feel more informed and less intimidated about MN.
