Must Haves: For a Minnesota winter

12. Sense of silly/humor. Everyone is going through the same winter you are - they have dry skin, hat hair, dirty cars, cabin fever, and sweater fatigue. They've had colds, coughs, and the flu too. Everyone looks forward to the days when leaving the house doesn't involve outerwear. Finding a way to laugh about it helps get us through it. We put old man hats on our snowmen. We waddle like penguins on the ice. We joke about frozen snot. Winter in Minnesota isn't a completely horrible thing. It just lasts a long time.
