This further supports my thought that Minnesota is probably among the better states in the US to live in right now (other places that are similarly not as reactionary are more expensive).
Great Lakes region and northeast are already the best place in the country by a wide margin and that margin is going to keep expanding as the rest of the country sinks into the ocean or completely runs out of fresh water. (Or sinks into the fresh water in the case of California next time there's a major flood in the central valley)
a few days ago the state water board put the area on probation (stop pumping groundwater), which could mean they actually build state flood management stuff there. the tulare lake basin is currently exempt from state regulations, and so the locals/ ranchers have built no appropriate infrastructure and pump as much as they want. water is something california takes pretty seriously, so they might actually do something to reform the water system in the central valley
That's not an issue that's unique to the great lakes region and if anything all the interconnected water bodies and especially the wetlands make the area better suited than anywhere else in the country. Also I'll take "too much water" over "no water" 10 times put of 10.
Same with a map of days over 100 degrees, seems pretty bad that they have that many days untill you check how many basically anywhere else is forecast to have.
Although I know some of the Midwest bordering great lake states have a harder time with high Temps in the summer than more coastal climates in the northeast.
Yes, although Minnesota only has a slim DFL majority in their state government, that serves at the pleasure of suburban liberals who haven't yet been scratched.

Thats just Lake Tulare making it known that she is not deceased just sleeping

They better. Otherwise ill be advising Gruesome Gavin to invade one of the lesser states in the Savage East or Barbarous North
There's a lot of articles about how climate resilience the Great Lakes region is, but they're mostly trash.
The precipitation that comes in the form of snow will increasingly be coming as rain, massively increasing floods.

It's great here (mostly.)

I'm enjoying Colorado although our police are terrible. Feels like I'm always seeing articles about them just murking innocent people
