Elena Lina please read the message completely I know what you are talking about. I was just saying about people sitting on the train roofs. It has occurred in past but the recent condition are not that bad, yaa but not very good either. But let me tell you that nothing is gonna happen if we continue to hate are country. Rather we should try to change the condition of the country. Majority of the population of a country is busy in talking about the government fighting about BJP vs Congress. But the reality is that both of the Government and all of the parties currently are doing nothing. We are ruled by shit leaders which are followed and also prayed by low iq population I think all of the youth of the country have to take a stand to change the current situation of the country and believe me we have enormous power to do that we are one of the most youngest country in the world and that's the biggest asset we are having. It might take a little time but it is possible maybe we can make our own party wid zero corruption and zero tolerance to any injustice. Believe me bitching about the country is not going to take us anywhere we have to take some stand afterall we are the future of the country.
Elena Lina But the problem with dictatorship is that it needs to be of a very wise and genuinely honest person which we generally don't find in our politics. Otherwise it can take a very brutal turn and mild dictatorship would be transformed to a complete and harmful dictatorship for the country. But I find your opinion quite good because if we take a look on majority of population with an unbiased view, we will be able to see that almost no one or a very less fraction of the population actually cares about the country so yes a mild dictatorship can be a good idea and another plus point of the dictatorship is that government can take time to actually develop the country because in democracy whatever you have to do you have to do in 5 years otherwise nobody is going to give you vote in the next elections. But the main problem is that nothing is going to happen by just giving opinions in the comment section of a video. We actually have to do something for the country. But sometimes I also feel that if we guys actually take a stand to do something for the country then most of the people will not support us and will think of it as a joke by some random people and they will also Scold us by saying "abhi tum bacche Ho tum kuch nahi kar paoge Thode Bade hoge to Pata chalega" and some other bullshit. Also the ruling party BJP will not appreciate and promote the work of some other new organisation. so yes convincing 1.3 billion people would be a very very hectic task. Obviously it look close to impossible. If we will ban slum people to have kids then our own people will disagree with that and will say that we are doing injustice to poor people we are against poor people and other bull shit like that so I guess one child policy for slum people would rather be a good idea. But I am pretty sure that these guys are not going to do good with it, as these are living in 19 century they cannot ask for condom any other such things from the shop. I Agree with you that it is close to impossible, but this does not mean that it cannot be done we just need a quiet sharp and intelligent thinker a very high IQ person to just design the method which can change the country as well as the countrymen, who can make thinking of the country man progressive.
I'm born in Nuuk. All cities in Greenland are isolated, there is no roads from city to city, and there is no railroads. If you want to take a trip, then you must take a aeroplane or ship and boat.
Hello there, I am a blind, American and I have graduated from university with a degree in international relations. I am a French speaker and I learn languages easily. May I do some networking here? Is there anyone who could teach me Greenlandic? In return, I would like to teach English in Greenland. Finally, I have experience teaching the blind.

It was indeed intended to be clickbait, Erik the red named it that to attract settlers, by telling people that it was a green prosperous land... He discovered it and settled there after he was vanished from Iceland due to murder.

As a Scandinavian it is really odd looking at. It all looks so familiar. Even how people dress, walk, the whole vibe. But then everybody's faces are Asian looking instead. It is like Scandinavia in an alternative universe.

For all of y’all still commenting on “how depressing looking” Nuuk is; this was filmed 9 years ago. And it happened to be a cloudy and grayish day, the day they filmed this. A lot has changed throughout the years; more taller buildings and modern cars and other different things. We do have schools, café/restaurants, beauty salons, clothing stores, movie theater and other things u can think of :)
I am pretty sure it is not the city itself that looks depressing to most, it is the overcast sky, obvious cold and lack of greenery. Sure, it was filmed on an overcast day ... but Nuuk has far more overcast and partly cloudy days than sunny days ... and that is true throughout the year, not only winter. The city itself seems fairly nice.
Stop dreaming Henri. Life in Greenland is harder than most places. Especially if you include the smaller towns. Survival as a modern hunter is very hard work.
Henri you must have lived in the cold north most of your life. I just the opposite. I lived in hot South Texas most of mine and this place looks depressing to me.
I was born in Greenland but I lived in Manitoba Canada. I moved here to Canada 3 years ago. In Greenland it's not bad at all! We just sometimes prefer a simple life. It may be grey but there is a lot of nice culture snowmans and more things you can learn about!
Question...about 1000 years ago, Vikings had farms on Greenland...hence the name. I did not see one single tree in this video...does that mean there are none?
@@dongertan3320 i hope that is a joke... i live right next to the danish longboat museum and have personally seen a longboat (the remains) being pulled out of the fjord. the bible idk? probably fake🤷♂️
This style of video was atually really fun to watch. Not your typical "i travel look at me with this background" but an actual, this is how the city is running without my commentary just look at how life goes on. I really enjoyed this
Imagine you're the president of a country with nuclear weapons and forgot to add a "pause" between "Nuuk" and "the largest city of Greenland" when talking to your inner circle.
+Samuel fanai it's not supposed to be green. I'm Scandinavian(Finland,Denmark,Sweden,Norway) and Greenland is riled by Denmark. IF you read its history you will see why it's not supposed to be green and it's really cool.
Back then when settlers were first coming to Greenland, they saw that it wasnt green at all and just called it that to trick people into coming and settling there, because when they decided to move to greenland, they saw it was grey but they couldnt move back :)
+Samuel fanai actually other european settlers came to iceland originally and it was all green, and then when they went to greenland it was all ice, so they switched up the names so the other travelers would be confused and go to greenland, and the settlers who found iceland would keep it a secret
Don't be offended. If you asked someone where New Zealand was 10 years ago, 90% had no idea. Greenland is certainly a mysterious country to me, and judging by the number of likes my comment has received I'm guessing I'm not the only one to think so.
Every January is my most down feeling part of the year. Gray skies, the cold, no color make me literally depressed. This place looks like a nightmare to live in.
I am so grateful this is here, I miss my home dearly and it sadness me so many has no idea what Greenland is or simply call it depressing. I bet where people come from, the wheather isn’t always flattering, just like in this vid, might be the most unflattering state to film in. The summer is beautiful and should be experienced, winter likewise! Don’t judge a book by it cover. Thank you, whoever filmed this and uploaded it, it warms me to see my birth country.
@@gaurichauhan3453 I have thought and read about it and keep saying the same thing, North Korea does not have coronavirus cases because they acted correctly in advance. Why do you say that they cannot have cases of coronavirus?
@@madkid5864 because in my opinion only some special outsiders are allowed to go inside north korea so i don't think any coronavirus patient went inside North Korea
@@gaurichauhan3453 Wrong, North Korea, before the pandemic, received about 1000 tourists every day. What happens is that they reacted in time to the imminent pandemic, putting any stranger in strict quarantine. That is, putting public health and well-being of Koreans before economic interest. Here you have one of the companies with tours to visit North Korea, it is perfectly affordable and accessible. And no, your life would not pass any danger or risk within the country unless you break its rules (something normal in all countries of the world, or not?) koryogroup.com/tours/dprk-north-korea/group
Actually most homes and transport etc in places like belgium, Germany and north of them have heating instead of AC, don't even have to go that extremely far up.
yup... completely normal for any building or vehicle, unless you live in a country as hot as the Sun. I've never in my life heard of a vehicle that doesn't have a heater installed, and even a desert gets cold a night, so only a fool wouldn't provide his family a way to get warm...
Depressing for some yes, especially at this time of the year. Imagine, summer time. Ive seen it, been there, its beautiful. Summer and winter are amazing opposite experiences, just like black and white. Its the grey area when switching from summer to winter thats not so great, all the grey weather and melting ice and snow with water everywhere. But its worth it.
Double edged sword for me. It never gets dark for months and then it never gets light for months. That's definitely not for everyone. I have spent one year north of the Arctic circle and it was driving me crazy already. I never knew how much I missed the sun until it was gone. And then I never knew how much I missed dark nights so I could sleep until the sun never set. I guess people adjust, but it's hard. At least it was for me. We had a countdown to when the sun would come back. Every morning we would look out the window and watch the sun on the mountain nearby come lower and lower until we could finally see the sun itself for a few seconds one day. Werid experience.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 same thing for me living in Amsterdam, always the same amount of daylight and night, I got confused what season it actually was. How I missed the long summer days and sleeping on the long winter nights
@@aggi999 Have you actually lived in Holland? Shortest day is just under 8 hours between sun up/sun under. Longest day around 17 hours. More than twice as long and when you live away from cities you can see light at the northern horizon at 2 in the morning in summer time.
This is my dream place to live in. I wish that one day I can live somewhere like this, because its so calm and peaceful. Just silence, nothingness, loneliness and peace. Those are the most important things for me and Greenland has it. For me this countrys name is not greenland, its dreamland.
It's all in perspective. Inuits were part of the second wave of migration from Asia. What's the second thing that you wanted to say? Oh, you were just saying "First of all" as meaningless rhetoric. Gotcha.
This video just makes me appreciate more of my location and the beauty that I am surrounded by 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Thank you for sharing , I am staying !!!
are you Greenlander?Im very curious to know that.and would you willing to share me more photos or videos about your country?you know,It's rarely to seen the view，that it's so beautiful than anywhere although my country(China) is also have many landscapes and famous scenery.🤝😄
tahir alizada the houses video taped were just of the minority of houses there. I haves lived in Greenland for half of my life and I'll tell you, the house I lived in looked modern, a lot more than those of the American suburbs.
After visiting some of the cities of Canada's far north, I'd be interested to visit Nuuk as well. I always knew it existed but never knew it was this sizeable (15,000+ people), almost comparable to Whitehorse and Yellowknife. Travelling to other parts of the world should involve seeing cultures completely different than your own, right? I find the Inuit culture fascinating.
What a beautiful place. I mean, the people living there might get sick of the cold weather; but to me, that is a beauty to behold. It looks peaceful and disconnected from the troubles of the planet.
Es un territorio danés, en efecto, es muy fácil de entender, te lo explicaré. El reino de Dinamarca se divide en tres partes, las Islas Feroe, la propia Dinamarca y la gigantesca isla de Groenlandia. Por cierto yo nací en Dinamarca jajaja
Wow... such a ??? I do not want to go there. To me, it looks bleak. I like color. Except for the slight variation of colors on the very uniform houses, everything looks white, shades of grey and maybe hints of something that looks vaguely green in the water and rocks. To each their own... I suppose.
@@peternesbitt Maybe they don't have it so good. Maybe they do. There are a lot of folks who live in beautiful places, with lots of money, but they're miserable. I'll bet there are some folks in Nuuk who are very happy and they're laughing at us knuckleheads living in nice big houses with lots of stuff to get distracted by.

+sarah paxton It has nothing to do with artificial live or not you stupid internet and new generation hater. Without internet there is nearly no communication with the rest of the globe, lack of knowledge and no data transfer with the rest of the world. Greenland is already pretty isolated so the lack of internet would be very fatal.
+sarah paxton Right, and yet, here you are on a PC or smartphone on the Internet using TH-cam. Are you saying that *you* don't have a "real" life? Why would you do that? :/ Also, the first letter of your first and last name should be capitalized if you wish to appear more professional.
Look's like you could become homeless real easy; and look's quite dog eat dog. So hilly; not good for older people, not born there. Surrounded by ocean--- what if there is a tsunami?
@@arriegalvan4382 Tsunamis are created by earthquakes under the ocean. The fault line under the Atlantic ocean is converging which is far less likely to create an earthquake and there isn't a large enough difference in temperature in the air for hurricanes to form. The cold temperatures are the only real danger they face.
I've been there 3 times and it was sunny each day I visited. St. Johns Newfoundland is around the same temps but more windy and rainy. The small communities are much more beautiful and peaceful.
I would pack me and my daughter's shit and move there in a heartbeat if I was granted citizenship in Nuuk, Greenland. This is one of the most peaceful countries to ever visit. People talk about the suicide rate being high and as much as I would not want to see anyone take their own life away, At least no one is killing eachother and starting wars there like other countries. I would be homesick and miss my family greatly, but to enjoy a peaceful life and living there knowing my daughter is safe would be well worth it.
Be careful when reviewing suicide statistics. More often than not they are under reported in countries where taking your own life is taboo or may bring perceived shame to the individuals family.Often the more secular the country the higher the rate of suicide will appear, as they are more accurately reported.

With the ice pushing back it makes a great strategic naval port to monitor worldly affairs Alaska to cover the eastern flank of Russia and Greenland to cover the Western flank of Russia, the US submarine arsenal is literally a stone throw away from St, Petersburg, and the Secret Russian naval ports located between in Severodvinsk and Arkhangelsk
Sadly that it is impossible for North American Airliners coming to or from the America's can't reach Greenland only it's owner Denmark aka Greenland's mom and Iceland are possible for passenger flights
Greenland territory of Denmark is almost an empty land with less than 60,000 people living there. Many laughed when Alaska was bought from Russia and Louisiana territory was bought from France. It is serious!
***** Actually he wasn't lying, when the vikings discovered Greenland, 1000 years ago, it was a different climate there, there were forests on the shores, but of course there was still ice in the middle.
With a population of only 17,000, how you can call a place so small a city baffles me. In the UK, we have hamlets, villages, towns and then cities in ascending order of population. With a population of 17,000, by European standards it would just be a town.
@@Simonsvids in Canada the requirement is 1,000 people and in Mexico and USA the requirement is 2,500 people, not sure about Greenland though. I personally think the requirement should be more like 10,000 people
Actually it's true, it is at the transition between a colder end of a sub polar-oceanic climate and a milder end of a subarctic (boreal) climate, and registers at plant hardiness zone 5b or maybe 6a, but falls into heat zone 1...so the raw temperature of the winters are the same as a place of a much more southern latitude but they last much longer and there is less light, and the summers are nowhere near as hot as those of a continental climate of the same zone.
rlt94 Raw winter temperatures aren't even used in places like Chicago; try factoring in its windchill ... been there in July & August, & I was freezing! Just like S. Central Texas summers; we need 5he heat index, not just the temperature. One reason I always check "how it feels", which is most accurate for how I should dress ... 😐
This is true, and I reside in south central Texas also, but the climate zone system goes by raw temperature and not wind chill or heat index. This system (in conjunction with the sunset zones and heat zones) was primarily designed to tell which plants are capable of growing where.

Could have done a better job at colour correction, I find these flat colours not representing the fine nature and scenery of Greenland to be enough.
Agreed!
I like the Danish architecture of the buildings.
Yea they really did a good job capturing the depressing atmosphere.
***** It is showing it for what it is.
Imagine you're the president of a country with nuclear weapons and forgot to add a "pause" between "Nuuk" and "the largest city of Greenland" when talking to your inner circle.
OMG. Biden wasn't President when you wrote this, was he?

Looks more like Greyland, not Greenland :)
+The CiP True, true...
right its not green at all
+Samuel fanai it's not supposed to be green. I'm Scandinavian(Finland,Denmark,Sweden,Norway) and Greenland is riled by Denmark. IF you read its history you will see why it's not supposed to be green and it's really cool.
Back then when settlers were first coming to Greenland, they saw that it wasnt green at all and just called it that to trick people into coming and settling there, because when they decided to move to greenland, they saw it was grey but they couldnt move back :)
+Samuel fanai actually other european settlers came to iceland originally and it was all green, and then when they went to greenland it was all ice, so they switched up the names so the other travelers would be confused and go to greenland, and the settlers who found iceland would keep it a secret
It’s more metropolis like than I’d expect from a city of only 17,000 people.
17,000 it's normal city size in small countries
I literally had no idea that Greenland was 88% inuit. Here I was thinking it was going to be filled with Blond viking types.
+ash3rr
Also remarkable that the skin color is more dark, like to expect from people living in hot climates.
it's not temperature that impacts skin color but the intensity of the sunshine
Don't be offended. If you asked someone where New Zealand was 10 years ago, 90% had no idea. Greenland is certainly a mysterious country to me, and judging by the number of likes my comment has received I'm guessing I'm not the only one to think so.
Yeah, quite surprising considering the Scandinavians who are at a similar latitude are some of the lighter skinned Europeans.
Why would no-one know where it is?
Every January is my most down feeling part of the year. Gray skies, the cold, no color make me literally depressed. This place looks like a nightmare to live in.
You only have cold weather in January? Lucky 😭
-Honey what you cooked for dinner?
- I cooked fish today!
And this repeats everyday lol.
"What's for dinner, honey?"
"Vera Lynn"
"Oh no, not 'whale meat again!'"
Maybe that's why there were fewer fat people than what we see here on a normal day?
@jadon joshua 😂😂😂
Actually not many people eat fish here everyday
Or whale meat for that matter, it’s not as often as you think

I am so grateful this is here, I miss my home dearly and it sadness me so many has no idea what Greenland is or simply call it depressing. I bet where people come from, the wheather isn’t always flattering, just like in this vid, might be the most unflattering state to film in. The summer is beautiful and should be experienced, winter likewise! Don’t judge a book by it cover. Thank you, whoever filmed this and uploaded it, it warms me to see my birth country.
London can be very depressing too. I like peaceful places, and Nuuk looks interesting
All I want in the world is sunny and warm.
Now I've become intrigued w Greenland and want to go there.❤

@@gaurichauhan3453 Wrong, North Korea, before the pandemic, received about 1000 tourists every day. What happens is that they reacted in time to the imminent pandemic, putting any stranger in strict quarantine. That is, putting public health and well-being of Koreans before economic interest.
Here you have one of the companies with tours to visit North Korea, it is perfectly affordable and accessible. And no, your life would not pass any danger or risk within the country unless you break its rules (something normal in all countries of the world, or not?)

I LOVE IT!!!!
Looks like fish is the staple diet. Should be called white land. It has a rocky landscape with plenty of snow. Nothing green to be seen there.
If it was summer it’s more brighter
At Night, There is many drunk people and drug addicts, it’s Not that quiet at night trust me

They do have the highest suicide rate.
I thought Japan did.
at least you don't need to have a freeze in your home, I suppose..

All houses, buses, cars might be having heaters instead of AC
Actually most homes and transport etc in places like belgium, Germany and north of them have heating instead of AC, don't even have to go that extremely far up.
@Muslimcel yes 😀
The UK has heating everywhere, it gets cold
yup... completely normal for any building or vehicle, unless you live in a country as hot as the Sun. I've never in my life heard of a vehicle that doesn't have a heater installed, and even a desert gets cold a night, so only a fool wouldn't provide his family a way to get warm...
@@JustIngrid86 That's everywhere.
Depressing for some yes, especially at this time of the year. Imagine, summer time. Ive seen it, been there, its beautiful. Summer and winter are amazing opposite experiences, just like black and white. Its the grey area when switching from summer to winter thats not so great, all the grey weather and melting ice and snow with water everywhere. But its worth it.
Double edged sword for me. It never gets dark for months and then it never gets light for months. That's definitely not for everyone. I have spent one year north of the Arctic circle and it was driving me crazy already. I never knew how much I missed the sun until it was gone. And then I never knew how much I missed dark nights so I could sleep until the sun never set. I guess people adjust, but it's hard. At least it was for me. We had a countdown to when the sun would come back. Every morning we would look out the window and watch the sun on the mountain nearby come lower and lower until we could finally see the sun itself for a few seconds one day. Werid experience.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 same thing for me living in Amsterdam, always the same amount of daylight and night, I got confused what season it actually was. How I missed the long summer days and sleeping on the long winter nights
But summers are freezing cold too whats the pleasure
@@aggi999 Have you actually lived in Holland? Shortest day is just under 8 hours between sun up/sun under. Longest day around 17 hours. More than twice as long and when you live away from cities you can see light at the northern horizon at 2 in the morning in summer time.

Thank you very much for this view into the daily life of Greenland and its capital Nuuk.
A page of a where’s Waldo book has more people than the entire population here
This is my dream place to live in. I wish that one day I can live somewhere like this, because its so calm and peaceful. Just silence, nothingness, loneliness and peace. Those are the most important things for me and Greenland has it. For me this countrys name is not greenland, its dreamland.
+John Harwood you lived in Greenland for 5 months?! Why?!? How was it? Is it boring?
👍
Agreed
Fucking depressing
sadly it has 1 of the worlds highest suicide rates, lots of alkohol and social problems. sad because it is amzing country.
Seems like a great place to visit and a horrible place to live.
It's not really the everyday look, it was filmed in a bad place in a bad timing.
Couldn't be a fruitarian in that climate.

First of all, these people aren't Asian, they're Inuit.
It's all in perspective. Inuits were part of the second wave of migration from Asia.
What's the second thing that you wanted to say? Oh, you were just saying "First of all" as meaningless rhetoric. Gotcha.
Eric Lehman: but Inuit like native Americans are descendants of Asians.
Inuit is a racist term. Ask the Yupiiat and iñupiat. 😉

"they stole the architecture from the Danes" Greenland is part of Denmark you dumbfuck, what are you expecting?
POLARTTYRTM That's right. Greenland is governed by Denmark.
After visiting some of the cities of Canada's far north, I'd be interested to visit Nuuk as well. I always knew it existed but never knew it was this sizeable (15,000+ people), almost comparable to Whitehorse and Yellowknife.
Travelling to other parts of the world should involve seeing cultures completely different than your own, right? I find the Inuit culture fascinating.
If you want to see a very large artic city you should look up Murmansk, Russia its almost as northern and has a population of 300 000
Archangelsk too
From one hellhole to another

Seems nice there; really just looks like winter anywhere in Canada. Albeit I’ve never seen “Porpoise-faces” for sale at my local grocery stores!
I definitely don't wanna live there. I would feel so isolated
Just wait
The locals look as miserable as sin, and I don't blame them. It's probably a lot like living in West Bromwich.
At least you will have an excuse for your loneliness there.
I think it seems like a quaint metropolitan type area
Theres people in NYC feeling isolate, millions of ppl together yet none of them communicate...
What a beautiful place. I mean, the people living there might get sick of the cold weather; but to me, that is a beauty to behold. It looks peaceful and disconnected from the troubles of the planet.
My thoughts exactly
They have plenty of their own problems sadly... Lots of alcohol issues, depression and suicide
Beutiful country! Greatings from Mexico :)

Imagine being homeless in there
Look's like you could become homeless real easy; and look's quite dog eat dog. So hilly; not good for older people, not born there. Surrounded by ocean--- what if there is a tsunami?
@@arriegalvan4382 Tsunamis are created by earthquakes under the ocean. The fault line under the Atlantic ocean is converging which is far less likely to create an earthquake and there isn't a large enough difference in temperature in the air for hurricanes to form. The cold temperatures are the only real danger they face.
Lucky for them, they are part of Denmark. So homeless is not an issue
Been there. DONE that ! 🥶
Nuuk is very close to the coast so average temperatures hover around freezing most of the year.
I've been there 3 times and it was sunny each day I visited. St. Johns Newfoundland is around the same temps but more windy and rainy. The small communities are much more beautiful and peaceful.
I would pack me and my daughter's shit and move there in a heartbeat if I was granted citizenship in Nuuk, Greenland. This is one of the most peaceful countries to ever visit. People talk about the suicide rate being high and as much as I would not want to see anyone take their own life away, At least no one is killing eachother and starting wars there like other countries. I would be homesick and miss my family greatly, but to enjoy a peaceful life and living there knowing my daughter is safe would be well worth it.
greenland has a very high murder rate actually
Be careful when reviewing suicide statistics. More often than not they are under reported in countries where taking your own life is taboo or may bring perceived shame to the individuals family.Often the more secular the country the higher the rate of suicide will appear, as they are more accurately reported.
David Samuelson Who are you telling doesn't belong in Greenland or Europe and why?

***** Actually he wasn't lying, when the vikings discovered Greenland, 1000 years ago, it was a different climate there, there were forests on the shores, but of course there was still ice in the middle.
They will both be ice-less in the next 50 years or so
i heard that, that they mixed the both island and accidently named them vice versa.

Nuuk-The largest city in greenland,the only city in greenland
BBC BERKO Yes. Other towns are villages, Sisimiut is the largest village in Greenland.
With a population of only 17,000, how you can call a place so small a city baffles me. In the UK, we have hamlets, villages, towns and then cities in ascending order of population. With a population of 17,000, by European standards it would just be a town.
@@Simonsvids in Canada the requirement is 1,000 people and in Mexico and USA the requirement is 2,500 people, not sure about Greenland though. I personally think the requirement should be more like 10,000 people

I like the way this video was done.
The winters here are actually no more severe than those of Chicago...
Actually it's true, it is at the transition between a colder end of a sub polar-oceanic climate and a milder end of a subarctic (boreal) climate, and registers at plant hardiness zone 5b or maybe 6a, but falls into heat zone 1...so the raw temperature of the winters are the same as a place of a much more southern latitude but they last much longer and there is less light, and the summers are nowhere near as hot as those of a continental climate of the same zone.
How is that unexpected?
rlt94
Raw winter temperatures aren't even used in places like Chicago; try factoring in its windchill ... been there in July & August, & I was freezing!
Just like S. Central Texas summers; we need 5he heat index, not just the temperature. One reason I always check "how it feels", which is most accurate for how I should dress ... 😐
This is true, and I reside in south central Texas also, but the climate zone system goes by raw temperature and not wind chill or heat index. This system (in conjunction with the sunset zones and heat zones) was primarily designed to tell which plants are capable of growing where.
That is really fucking stupid
It looks beautiful and surprisingly semi-bustling in a couple of places. I hate the cold, so I imagine the winters there for me would be pure torture.
Unless you go far inland, it's not as cold as Minnesota & Wisconsin
The only inland is a big ice shelf.
