    If you’re ever stuck and need something for traction, put your floor mats under your wheels. It’ll help give you enough to get out of the snow bank

    Thank you so much for posting these videos. My wife and I live in FL and the heat and humidity are suffocating. We’ve done tons of research and are settled on Green Bay Wisconsin
    We’re so excited about getting all four seasons. Thanks again for posting

    You're in Neenah, Wisconsin. Kimberly Point. I now live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California near South Lake Tahoe, but grew up in Neenah (Class of '78). Welcome to Wisconsin weather! Neenah is one of the most beautiful towns and I miss it (not the winters, however).

    Please tell me you have all wheel drive.
    One more thing. Get some good shoes for the weather. The clamp ons are great for shoveling snow and walking in icy conditions. This is coming from someone that lived in the PNW.

    Good tips. I was multitasking so don't remember if you hit these too: Don't be fooled into putting your winters on too late or taking them off too early. Obsessively check the weather. And go outside any chance you get if there is sun, as you can quickly become depressed by staying inside too much.

    What you need to be wearing at that temperature is a warm heavy jacket, gloves and a hat. Oshkosh can be cold. When you spend your whole life here you learn to drive in snow and on ice.

    I have a detached garage in western Pennsylvania and it's annoying with rain and snow but it's also 30x30x30 with storage attic, so it's 2.5 cars with space for every tool or in my case inventory storage as well. There are pros and cons to attached garages since they'll be smaller by default.

    • @TheChristianna321
      @TheChristianna321  5 месяцев назад

      Yeah for me my biggest concern with a garage is being able to get to my car without freezing or getting drenched. Although where I live now I can't even park in my garage so

      @@TheChristianna321 To me a garage is meant to be useful for storage and able to do projects in. I can literally build a mock convention booth and test layouts in there before shows to make it easier on site with source images. Or build a bench or shelving or whatever.

    I live further north in Wisconsin and I disagree with indoor only activities, we're outside all the time in the winter from tubing to ice fishing. Dress warm enough and you'll be ok.

    I am scared about the winter kind of, excited too. I try to remind myself millions of people across the globe live in cold snowy climates and seem to get by just fine. If we move i hope we like it, i wanna play in the snow.

    • @TheChristianna321
      @TheChristianna321  8 месяцев назад +1

      Good luck! The snow is beautiful and fun. There's tons to do in the snow. Driving in it takes some getting used to, and shoveling is annoying, but still worth it in my opinion

    To start you need a winter coat. I live in Madison, I have dealt with the cold for 79 years. You have not experienced sub zero temps yet.

    I'm living in the SE. I concur on the weather. I'm from the West Coast and miss four seasons (WA) and snow as well as rivers and lakes. Family are from Midwest and it's always been one of my favorite places. People are great there.

    Sorel boots are a must. BUY THEM. Worth every Benjamin(s)... GORTEX with down filling. Brandy and/or Long Island Iced Teas... Chili. Sex near fireplace/pit... Mittens not gloves. Ushanka made from natural ingredients. Beer. Sauna. Lager. Steam room. Your mate held closely. Ale. Soup.

    Put a hat on, much of your heat is lost through the noggin. Winter caps with pom poms on top are overpowered but not as much as the ear flaps caps. 😆
