This highlights one of those “holy shit” moments in my life. I grew up in South Ga., like on salt water south. I used to hear all the time from old folks, who had never been anywhere else, that mild winters made for more mosquitoes in spring. Then one day I found myself near the Mississippi River between MN and WI, and no those aren’t hummingbirds. It was at that moment that I had personal experience that said those old folks were wrong…. That or the upper Midwest would be uninhabitable if there was a warm-ish winter.

Whereabouts in South Ga, if I may ask? My maternal family is from St. Marys.

Funny you mention Minnesota. IIRC, the one product that has kept me away from there is "Lutefisk," no?

Same, same for the tundra of Alaska.
I truly believe an unprotected human could die from blood loss.
I recall an occasion where I was literally wiping my hands down my arms and they would roll up by the hundreds.
Of course, many would say and I might have trouble disagreeing that the tundra IS uninhabitable if not frozen...and even then.

I remember running into something called the white (or black?) fly in the Yukon.

I’m from Minnesota and that white/black fly thing is 100x worse than mosquitoes. Stepped out of the car, took a few pictures, noticed some gnat-thing flying around my face, waved it off and thought nothing of it.

Minutes later in the car, I had multiple itchy swollen bumps erupting like Krakatoa all over my forehead! Wtf!

I read that the white/black fly basically drove the US Army soldiers mad when they were building the Alcan highway.
