LOL! North Dakota sounds a lot like Northern Michigan.:D
 
I lived in North Dakota for a few years while I was growing up, and you are not too far off the mark. I remember going to school in weather 54 degrees below zero and walking home from basketball practice with my hair still kind of wet and no hat. After about 30 feet into my walk I could reach up and break off peices of my hair...Cold 'nuff fer ya?!..

When it hit 30 degrees above zero, it was considered a heat wave so we all ditched our coats and went to play outside in our T-shirts.

The coldest I ever experienced was during a storm one winter. With the wind chill, it was 70 degrees below zero...cold nuff fer ya?!....God! I love Texas!...

No Texas summer is ever too hot for me after the time I spent in North Dakota.
 
The town I grew up in, Truckee CA, is during the spring and fall "the coldest place in the nation." it was a nice warm sunny day in April (about 36 degrees) when I decided to go to college someplace warm, or maybe it was the snow in June.
