Look up how cold Wyoming gets in the winter and tell me it's a viable place for a lot of people to live.

I don't like saying things like this, but unless you've experienced a zero-visibility blizzard which went on for hours on end, you don't know what rural Wyoming is like.

Look at how hot LA gets in the summer.

I'm from Alaska, by the way.

Summer temperature averages in LA aren't that much different from summer temperature averages across Wyoming. The big difference comes in the winter, where LA's record lows are in line with (or a little below) Wyoming's average highs.

Coastal or inland? North shore?
