You know you're in Minnesota when..........

• You get up in the middle of the night to put a stocking cap on....before returning to bed.



• Your truck runs longer to warm up....than it does actually getting somewhere.



• 10 below zero in the morning is...."Well, that's not so bad!"



• You watch 3 hours of football....and see the outcome decided in the last two minutes.



• Driving a truck on a frozen lake....is considered normal.



• People go snowmobiling at -40°....just for the hell of it.



• The roads finally get plowed....after you've gotten to work.



• You actually know someone named....Ole, Sven, Lars, or Lena.



• Your most prized possesion....is your woodpile.



• Long underwear, half-pints, and block heaters....are thought of as essential.



• The Winter season is directly followed by....road construction.



• You are happy to receive junk mail....it's great for starting the fire.



• Your dog is frustrated....he can't dig holes in a frozen yard.



• A trip to the outhouse....can be life-threatening.



• The only time pot holes are filled....is after a 6" snowfall.



• Winter is so long....you have time to make up stupid shit like this.
