funny list. i miss living in exotic minneapolis.
This list is almost identical to Wisconsin's list!! And how true it is!!
Oh my goodness, I have only driven through South Dakota, but I understood this. That is scary to me.
Sounds even nippier in South Dakota than here in the UK at the moment, Paul !
I'm originally from rural Michigan and find some of them understandible. Some of it is that I know that Dakota country is a little colder and quite a little more rural though. Believe it or not, I can relate to the driving 65 mph in two feet of snow without flinching. I also could relate if you had mentioned digging the car out of the ditch every other day (snow OR mud)! LOL
