Randarkman posted:How cold does Minnesota and the American Mid-West get in winter? I'm from Norway and a couple of years ago I spent time in Saskatchewan in Canada, and I was quite literally shocked at how cold it got during the winter, which lasted for something like half a year it seemed. Answer above this for the midwest. I live in New England though. The average high temperature for me in the coldest month (January) is just above freezing. We get basically three months of each season's weather.

Looking at the lines in Connecticut, I know a bunch of them are state-owned rails that get used by freight and passenger railroads like Metro North or the Housatonic.

Koramei posted:Also lumping in Central and East Africa (and yet Madagascar gets its own zone?) and China and Korea. I can at least appreciate the Library of Congress' blatant embracement of Eurocentrism; Dewey Decimal's veneer of actual care just makes its backward stuff worse. I think there's just more published in English about those countries. I use the LOC system at home and it's great.

Grape posted:Very debatable. Like yeah half of Jersey has a stronger pull toward Philly, but northern Jersey is far more NYC oriented than any part of CT could ever imagine. Bro, do you even Fairfield County? Honestly, what I usually see is Fairfield and Litchfield part of the NY metro, New Haven basically floating on its own, and the rest oriented towards New England as a whole.
