Only 56" per year in Minneapolis (probably alot higher in the north) - the cold is worse than the snow - probably have more than 2 weeks each winter where it never gets above zero (F).

Minnesota is great place.

Mary Tyler Moore , Bob Dylan, Kevin McHale, Charles Lindburg, Chales Schultz , Dave Winfield, Judy Garland, and of course me... all famous great people who were raised in Minnesota,

10,l000 beautifull lakes, where you can sit out on a summers day........ and watch the loons go about their business. Hell that was once what Melodic rock was like

It actually is a really nice place. I moved here from So Cal about 8 or 9 months ago. Yes - the cold is far worse than the snow. And when the snow is actually ice - that sucks. But the absolute calm compared to So Cal is wonderful. Not to mention 2 or 3 times the house for the price. I went from a 1400 sq foot condo to a 4200 sq ft home. In the time it used to take me to get adjusted in my car seat and the seatbelt on in Cali, I am already at work here. My 6 kids love it. It was hard for a couple of them at first - but now they would not think of going back. Pretty amazing.

As far as sitting out in the summer - and I'll hurry and finish this as the lightning and thunder is a little intense right now - I'll have to see how it goes with all the rumored bugs and such.

One more thing. To the geese in the pond outside my bedroom window - shut the fuck up! Especially between the hours of 4:30 AM and 6 AM.

Fifty-six inches of SNOW??? We don't even get that much in rain! Definitely not for me. So how much snow do you get in Summer?

Of course, don't forget the mosquitos and the infamous May Flies. YUCK!!! I managed to be there when they broke the reocrd for the most consecutive days where the high was below 0F. And you know what? I was there for 11 years and I loved it.
