It's worth it, the cold keeps the mosquitoes down

There are no mosquitos here because there is no standing water. There were mad mosquitos in Kansas despite the cold because there is standing water.

......what? Do.....do you not see the massive lake we have?

I live near it and walk around it for exercise. Comparatively, we have no standing water because of gradients in elevation. Large parts of the midwest are flat as far as the eye can see.

Dude. It's 2 degrees outside right now. I'm pretty sure this cold keeps the polar bears down. Or....actually up. I guess they'd be in Canada.
