    Their smear campaign honestly made me like him more and I’m unironically considering moving to Minnesota as a direct result. The only problem is that I’m from the South and snow is scary.

      The snow and the cold are no joke. Buy yourself some good winter clothing straight off the bat. Don’t go for those cheap off brands. Oh no. You want to be warm, you want the good stuff. And remember to layer.

        It’s all in the socks and a good, warm hat. Wools over cotton, wet cotton from sweat or snow in cold enough weather can be dangerous.

            Llama (or probably alpaca) wool is no joke. There’s a reason why most yarns are a blend and aren’t 100% alpaca, it’s usually too hot.

            I have alpaca wool socks and they are just amazing. So comfortable and so warm. They were something like $22 for a pair, but they’ve held up pretty well and they’ve been worth it.

      There are parts of the twin cities that are fully car free so you dummy don’t need to drive.
