Sure It’s Cold, But I Still Love Minnesota Because _______ .

My parents live in Ham Lake, but have rented a house in Naples, Florida through March; and keep sending me pics like this one, and texts saying it's 88˚ at the beach. (In the NFL that would draw a flag for taunting.) 40-below wind chills can't stop us! Tell us why you still love Minnesota.

Here's what the knuckleheads on the show had to say:

• Pete:  The lake, the cabin, the family.
• Cindy:  My friends and family are here.
• Jim:  Because I don't know any better. (And the small town feel.)
• Katie:  Summer.

• Hanna:  No school because it's too cold!
• Shannon:  Because we don't have hurricanes, earthquakes, and stuff like that.
• Ryan:  Hunting & fishing.
• Shelly:  Having four seasons.
• Stuart:  Ice fishing
• Tony:  Well, not because the Vikings, Wild, Twins, or Timberwolves!!!
• Hillary:  Minnesota nice.
• Sully:  The variety of weather & seasons.
• Ed:  Minnesota has the best VA system & facilities.
• Lauren:  The Mall of America!
• Jim:  'Cause it's home.
• Amber:  The four seasons & the beauty of nature.
• Lisa:  The cold is only temporary.The rest of the time its beautiful.
• John:  Golf Season is always "just around the corner!"
• Sandy:  The four seasons that give us potential for so many hobbies and fun adventures!
