Sounds wonderful! (See below) You are not going to believe this, but about 4 years ago I told my wife I wanted to experience a Minn. winter (because I heard so much about them from my sister-in-law who had lived in Fargo, ND for 3 years and was always visiting her in laws near St. Cloud, Minn) and hence I was going to move to to Duluth (because of my friend's recommendation) from Oct to March and rent an apartment there. Well, because of family circumstances we didn't get to do it, but Duluth (and Wisconsin also) have been on my list since then. So who knows--one of these years---thanks.
