      It's the same product in all states. It's called antifreeze in cold states, coolant here in hot ones.

    I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and raised in DinkyTown. I ALWAYS make sure to keep my wiper fluid filled. I even keep an extra jug in car because when the snow starts to melt, this stuff flys off the shelf. I cannot stress enough how important wiper fluid is, especially when the snow starts to melt after a winter of salt, sand, exhaust and dirt mixed in with it. This slop will completely cover your windshield and you will not be able to see through it. I have had to roll down my window and stick my head out because my windshield is covered and I ran out of wiper fluid. It's a very dangerous situation.

    I was born and raised not too far north of the cities and spent a lot of time down there growing up so in a sense its kind of like another hometown for me. I haven't been back there in years. Like everyplace else from what I can see from your videos the area has gone through a lot of changes. I just enjoy "going along for the ride" and seeing how things look now. I have lived in the Tampa Bay area now for 30+ years and would have a really hard time getting used to the winters again. Keep up the good work and I'll continue to tune in! :-)

    I haven't been to the Twin Cities. But I'd love to see how a city like them can embrace the cold. I'd love to skate the frozen rivers and see if it's really true that Minnesota is a mini-Canada (do you say "aboot" and "soarry?") Where I am in Oklahoma City, it averages only 7 inches of snow a year. But this February we got a cold spell where OKC got a low of -15F (without wind chill), the coldest temp since 1899, and it brought our seasonal snowfall to 23 inches. All the rivers froze over. Truly a cold spell comparable to MSP.

      Linden Hills in Minneapolis. Linden Hills has it’s own special area slightly removed. Young families and a beautiful neighborhood. It’s right next to Lake Harriet. So beautiful.
      If you want more suburban, go to Eden Prairie. It’s awesome. Also check out the Lake Minnetonka area. Several beautiful communities there.

    I love stretch gloves! For small hands, they are the best for wearing indoors, where everything is heated to be a comfortable temperature for big burley men (grrr), leaving little women with frozen fingers! they are also great for wearing inside other gloves or mittens - so that the gloves or mittens can be taken off outdoors and you can do things that require more precise movement. When I lived in MInnesota, I always had about a dozen pairs of stretch gloves :)

    • @ToTheTwinCities
      @ToTheTwinCities  3 роки тому

      I suppose for indoor use I can see their helpfulness and as a liner to actual gloves! But I think we can both agree they are not to be relied on for prolonged use outside in Minnesota winters!

      Hey!! Acme comedy club in Downtown is amazing, there’s also a one in the Mall of America that gets great national acts! And for the northern lights you’ll probably have to go a bit further north in Minnesota. Probably North or Duluth! I’ve seen them from Two Harbors, MN.

    What's up, I'm name is Andrew. I am currently living in Hawai'i but I have family ties in Minnesota. Three generations on my grandfather's side and even longer on my grandmother's side. I had the privilege of being in that great state for a period of time but nothing permanent. Largely because of my fear of the winter. I've gotten older and my desire to live in the mid-west has gotten stronger. 2021 may be my year to return and if so, I may need your assistance.

      It's not tax friendly for anybody. It's just part of the price of living there. Houses are luxurious and cheap by coastal standards, which in most cases more than makes up for the higher taxes.
