Every time it snowed pretty hard we all sat there listening to the radio hoping for a snow day. Then we'd spend the entire day out in the snow or on the lake skating.
Midwest, also called Middle West or the North Central States, is a region in northern and central United States, lying midway between the Appalachians and the Rocky Mountains and north of the Ohio River and the 37th parallel.

Yep...you know, just the other day my grandpa told me....lmao. So true
The Midwest—as defined by the federal government—comprises the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Actually composed of two regions, the Northwest Territory, or the Old Northwest, and the Great Plains, you could say the Midwest has become more an idea than a region: an area of immense diversity but somehow consciously representative of a national average.
"'Midwest vs. Everybody' was a build-out of our original page, Iowa Chill," the creators of the fun online project told Bored Panda. "Most of the following is from the Midwest and we figured that people in Iowa have had similar experiences to people in Ohio or Indiana."

basically if you live in illinois, there's a reason everyone says they live in chicago. nobody remembers "JOLIET" and "ROCKFORD" off the top of their heads

Same ritual here in the uk but we say 'right then' as we slap our knees and rise out of a chair.
"All of the people that run the account live in the Midwest. We endorse the simple and warm culture of living in an area of the Midwest that is usually seen as a flyover," the team explained.
The Northwest Territory entered the United States in 1783 at the conclusion of the American Revolution and was organized under a series of ordinances that set the precedent for the admission of future territories into the Union.

Although all my family is Dutch and still living in the Netherlands, we appear to be from the Midwest....
The Great Plains entered the United States in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. The Plains were to develop primarily agriculturally, but the Northwest Territory, blessed with both fertile soil and valuable natural resources (coal, oil, iron ore, and limestone), would develop both industrially and agriculturally.

Despite regional economic shifts adverse to the Midwest, the region has continued to be the most important economic region in the United Stated, leading all other sections in value added by manufacture and in total value of farm marketings.

I mean, we do bother clearing a spot in front of the drivers seat, and whatever side window/backwindow combo for whatever turn we plan on making.

I was holding the door for a dude at work and he decided he was going to be funny and start walking really slow. So I stood there holding it all the way until he got there and then closed it on him and walked off. The doors need a badge-scan to go through so not a big deal but it amused me.

i live at the end of a cul de sac, so the snow plower would never completely plow our section of the road. my dad would always curse the mayor out and try to fix our snow blower. 10 things flying at my face later, he finally started to shovel. needless to say some of my worst memories growing up have been commemorated with shoveling snow.

I grew up in Michigan and moved to NY, I died a little inside when I finally had to start calling my pop soda because I got tired of explaining it, but they will never take my "opes" and whispered apologies.

This is also an East Coast Canadian thing.....the letter "R" is casually tossed into strange places, like the end of the name Emma (Emmer) and the word wasp (warsp),. I love it

I had an overwhelming urge to comment on nearly every one of these. Never has a post seemed more relatable. I have lived in exactly 3 states. Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. I've had cows, goats and pigs in the back of my SUV. Good hay that's been put up right makes me deliriously happy. At least a few times a year a neighbor pulls up to ask if the cows that are out belong to us. At least once a year they do. I DO know when it's going to rain. I hate putting people out by asking for help. The phrase 'going to town' is a permanent part of my vernacular. As is 'ope, so sorry' and 'wouldn't be so bad if that wind wasn't blowing.' The town I live near has 17,000 people and the only walmart for miles. When people from our area say they're 'going to town,' they mean they're taking a trip to Kirksville so they can get their shopping done.
