Bad winters, gorgeous summers -
2/24/2008The winters are long, long, long. The summers are beautiful. It's tough to find a job and the area is culturally lacking in diversity. On the upside: the lake, outdoor treks in summer, a varity of colleges, definitely a buyers market as far as housing goes, and okshopping/restaurants/hospitals. On the downside: the length and deep chill of winter, lots of college kids, lack of jobs, the length of the winter makes seasonal depression an issue for some, and there are plenty of closeminded "backwater folks" in town. It's a place of extremes; temps in the winter can be -50 and the summer can hit over 100. A person can live here happily with a die hard love of all season fishing, 4 wheeling, hunting, hiking, and snow blowing. Also, make sure you have a job before you move here.
