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.

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. :D
