What is Winter Like in Minnesota?

I’m closing in on my retirement and I’d like to move from Minnesota to a warmer climate, but the prices on homes are stupidly ridiculous and Mortgage prices has been skyrocketing on a roll(currently over 7%) do I just invest my spare cash into stock and wait for a housing crash or should I go ahead to buy a home anyways?

[@smithdavis1362]

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

[@grinjohnson6452]

Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

[@ryanthompson8256]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

[@floydchusset3143]

I appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to unmeasurable progress. Being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?

[@ryanthompson8256]

Finding financial advisors like Laura Grace Abels who can assist you on things like investing, insurance, making sure retirement is well funded, going over tax benefits, ways to have a volatility buffer for investment risk would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

[@paulbennett2112]

Honestly though, if you have good winter clothing, 30° can feel like 80° inside your jacket. The gear can be so good at keeping heat in that it gets too hot, even when it’s below freezing

[@jeannemarie3704]

😆 so true! Life long minnesotan here. I start preparing for winter in August. Because "winter is coming".. and it always does! ❤️. And yes 30 degrees is always considered a heatwave. In March if it's 39 degrees you are likely to see some people running In shorts. 😆

[@Nicksundahl]

Right?! In all honesty, I lover the season change and winter has its positives.

[@coshayshay]

minesotan here we periodically hit -45 f here (depends on the year) and i recomend buying a scuba suit instead of multiple layers. stay warm. and in winter i recommend 5w 30 oil for better viscosity during the winter. but most importantly... love the winter because spring comes and goes about 12 times starting from late February to late may. we locals call it second winter so prepare accordingly. just because it was above freezing during the day today does not mean that it will not drop below freezing that night nor does it mean that it will be even warmer tomorrow. also in the fall stick a penny upside down in the tread in your tire, if you see abraham lincolns beard get new tires. also in the snow, if you stop you will keep sliding but if you give it some gas and power through your front tires will sink down to pavement and not only will you regain traction but the person behind you wont lose traction and drive into the rear end of your car. win win. also driving 10 under the speed limit in bad weather WITH GOOD TIRES is as slow as you need to go in the winter.(the best place to learn driving is on lake superior in january) good luck and god speed.

"Cotton kills." Keep dry at all times. Consider mousture-wicking footwear, etc. Layering can be fun. Good tire tread is very important. The hardest thing is the darkness. Learn to care for pets who go outside.

As a born and bred Minnesotan. Everyone who lives here says "I don't mind the cold Winters." It's a very Minnesotan thing to say. It's funny the same people who say this for the most part spend Winter indoors. And the Winters here aren't just cold they're freezing cold. If You like 70 degree weather this State isn't for You. The Summers are hot and humid. The Winters are extremely cold.

[@Nicksundahl]

Thanks for the comment!!

[@TJ20423]

The honest truth is that you can do just fine with a good sweatshirt or a jacket and jeans unless your not moving around like when your ice fishing I work outside all winter in northern MN with just a sweat shirt or 2 on and tin pants and I never found my self needing more layers

[@Nicksundahl]

Definitely agree, but keep in mind that most people aren’t used to our winters. And those cold snaps can be pretty brutal.

[@Toomanian]

I am moving to Minnesota from California. That may sound like I'm in for a rude awakening, but I grew up in Massachusetts and have spent winters in Wyoming and Alaska. So I think I will be fine, but my family members from here are gonna be in for a rough one.

[@Nicksundahl]

I think wherever you go, it takes a little time to adjust. This year, we had an incredibly mild winter! So, you never know!! Let me know if you have any questions or interested in any properties. [e-mail] 612-877-0527

As a North Carolinian 2-3 inches of snow will pretty much shutdown the whole state of NC.. I planning on visiting MN this year watch a Vikings home game vs the Packers bucket list...

[@hot_guy997]

The saying it’s never too cold it’s just your clothes is kind of true because with the right layering system and protective gear like face masks and goggles I’ve seen people spend days in temperature’s between negative 20 and negative 50 degrees and not have any problems.

[@hot_guy997]

In one video I watched about how to dress for extreme cold they gave a layering system that’s supposed to keep you warm out side in weather down to negative 50 degrees and windy.

Thankfully, we don’t HAVE to do that!

[@hot_guy997]

[@hot_guy997]

Around where I live though when it’s only 40 degrees people will be complaining that it’s freezing and it’s not even cold enough for snow to stick. I’m really hot natured and go walk around outside for an hour in 30 degrees in just a t-shirt and jeans and be fine.

Well, you certainly have that opportunity here. Plenty of areas in northern MN that you could give it a shot.

Snow and cold is better than tornadoes, sinkholes, droughts, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, haboobs or bad hail storms or really dangerous winds, I don't consider heavy snowfall a type of natural disaster even if it is a bitch and a half to deal with and is long.
