Hey Matt, I think number 50 is West Virginia, not Arkansas! :)

Look how close together the states are. From top to bottom there is less than 10 points difference out of 100. What does that tell you?

I live in Minnesota, and I find it hard to believe that it is fourth. I wonder how these statistics are taken. I suppose everyone needs a hobby. Winter in Minnesota is extremely cold and snowy. I am happy when spring comes, but never winter.
