Perhaps Alaska is not the best place to test signs for Minnesota.

Quizás Alaska no es el mejor lugar para probar los letreros de Minnesota.

Our other road signs are equally accurate, so drive carefully!

Las otras señales de tráfico son igualmente precisas, por lo tanto, ¡conduce con cuidado!

El sol siempre está aquí, sólo que no se ve por las nubes. Así es que, se recomienda traer lentes del sol por si las moscas.

The sun is always here, it just can´t be seen because of the clouds. So, it is recommended to wear sun glasses just in case.

That's not snow. It's just ice from the snow cones they eat when it's so hot...

Eso no es nieve. Es hielo de los granizados que se come cuando hace calor.
