Honestly out of all the locales you can go to visit, it might be ideal to nix the whole state of MN, then it gets brutally frigid here, then our frigid season starts as early as the fall and lingers well into Springtime, but my friend and I don’t easily get blooming, Springtime flowers or the changing leaves.
Basically my fine friend and I go from snow to slush.
Our Summer seasons are so mild in Minneapolis, MN that I don’t bother with cooling equipment. Owning an air conditioner is about as pointless as owning a pony. It wouldn’t get used, and what my fine friend and I do is use box fans and window cooling systems in order to combat the actual one month that is quite warm, and the rest of the time the heating component is blasting. My friend and I use a boiler system in the basement that is hooked up to our baseboards. Baseboard heating throughout both stories of the home keeps us warm. I have even contemplated getting the piping hooked up underneath the floorboards, then after my fine friend and I redo our flooring, my fine friend and I will have hydronic heating there. That will make everything warm and evenly heated! For now, it works. I look forward to Summer all year, no matter how brief. If it isn’ttoo warm I will take advantage of the fact that I don’t need to use a system and I will open the windows to let a fresh breeze in. I feel it is fine to air out the home periodically. The summers can get into the low 79s periodically, but it isn’t often.
