Wisconsinites are tough. It’s in our genes, and it’s a product of where we live. Our teenage girls can jump-start cars and our grandmas brave negative temperatures to attend Packers games. Maybe all the beer gives us the courage. But anyway, here are nine reasons why people from Wisconsin are the toughest:
- We deal with subzero temperatures. All the time.

- We do tough jobs

- Blizzards don’t stop us from anything

- We’ve dealt with tough sports losses

- We’ve got farming genes

- We’ve had the strength to get through tragedies
