You do know that they chased the grasshoppers out of Finland to save the winemaking crop, right? I wonder if that's how we got snow snakes?
St. Paul (I live 20 miles away) also has the longest running winter festival in the US. Parades in minus 25 F. are not uncommon (I know, I've attended them).
I live only 2 miles from the first decommissioned nuclear power plant in the US (about 30 miles away).
