I don't think I would want to live someplace where my eyeballs could freeze. It gets cold in Kansas, but not like that. I was in the Air Force for 20 years. I had friends that were stationed in places like Minot ND and K.I. Sawyer in the MI upper peninsula. Most of them hated those places, but some people loved them. What I always said was, "Give it a chance. Remember that there are non Air Force people living there voluntarily; so there must be some reason they stay." Super cold places are not for me, but I know some people LOVE snowmobiling, etc.
