    Minnesota is definitely tougher. Sure it snows a little more in the East Coast but they don’t get that bad of temperatures while we in MN usually get at least a few days of -20 degrees every winter, and we even got -30 degrees this winter. The snow also melts in the East Coast pretty fast, but in MN once it snows in like December it’s most likely not going to melt until March or April.

      if you compare the harshest town in each state to a normal town in Canada you can see how they stack up
      Minnesota - Embarrass
      Maine - Allagash
      and Schefferville Canada
      Average low(coldest month)
      Embarrass = -11f
      Allagash = -7f
      Schefferville= -21.6f
      Average snowfall
      Embarrass = 43 Inches
      Allagash = 94 Inches
      Schefferville= 192 Inches
      Coldest recorded Temperature(official)
      Embarrass =

      So yeah cause windchill is the important part mixed with snow, Maine seems to have the edge, with Canada destroying the U.S

    Hands down Minnesota winters are FAR worse. Boston does get the heavier snow storms, but it melts pretty quickly afterwards. In Minnesota, the snow doesn’t melt until like early March at the earliest. Not to mention Minnesota is WAY colder, in Minnesota you’re guaranteed at least one day a winter with temperatures below -10. In Boston, you get a day below 0 once every other year on average.

    As someone who's lived in both Pennsylvania and Minnesota (I live in Minnesota right now)
    I can easily say that Minnesota has the harsher winters. Snow fall might be worse in the East Coast, but the cold. They don't even compare. We got down to near -60 Degrees Fahrenheit last winter.

    I think a more fair comparsion would be interior New hampshire and Vermont. We are not regulated as much by the ocean and can see temps below zero more so than Boston. Not to mention we get way more snow than Boston. Are absolute lows are not as bad as MN in a city like manchester NH but are mountains are just as cold. It how a few hour drive can make such a differents.
