We live in Minnesota so we know all too well about the "Winter Blues" & "Cabin Fever" but do we know how to deal with it? Most of us just hope for the best and hunker down for the many months of winter and eagerly await the arrival of spring. We even get excited when there are weeks like recent where we hit 50 degrees and the snow piles start to melt before are eyes and we think to ourselves "Maybe....just MAYBE winter is over already!" Then we look ahead at the forecast and are snapped harshly back to reality that we will still be graced by the presence of winter for at least another month. Who were we trying to kid with these 50 degree temps anyway...
And then there are the Minnesotans who call themselves "True Minnesotans" because even the harshest of winters don't phase them or ruin their pleasant mood, they truly enjoy a solid Minnesota winter. And it's people like that who give the other Minnesotans some tips and tricks to at least make it through another Minnesota winter. And then there are others who flee to states with warmer climates! For those who lack the resources and time to head south for the winter here are some tips to "beat the winter blues" :
