Same with people coming here to the US Midwest. Yeah it gets bitter cold during winter. Toughen up or leave.

I used to hear kids chirp that line in school to those who complained about the weather. As soon as I graduated from college I got the fuck out of the Midwest. I hated the shitty dark before I came home at 4. I hated Minneapolis and it's horrible culture. The accent is shrill and annoying. Fuck Minnesota. Fuck it straight to hell.

I live in Northern Illinois in the edge of the Chicago suburbs between Chicago and Milwaukee, I understand your pain.
I used to love it out here but now I'm moving my elderly mother out west to retire and not moving back. I just wish the rest of my father's family wasn't entrenched out here.
I honestly tell people to move because I know they're not going to be happy until they do. My mother and some of my other family members have too many health problems to enjoy it out here. If I don't move my mother out she won't live past her 70s.
I've been through a few blizzards, many brown outs and generally I'm now tired of dealing with the snow and ice. I spent fifteen years shoveling my grandmother's ten car drive way. Lucky for me both my uncles now have plows for their trucks so they can do the heavy lifting in that area and my cousins and I can do quick clean up with snow blowers.
I'm tired of the bitter cold in the winters and the extreme humidity in the summers.
