Minnesota weather

<p>Please weigh in, what is the weather like, by month, in Minneapolis? Does it just get cold or does it snow all the time? What is the humidity like in the Fall & Spring?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Fall- 40-60
Winter-below 30s most of the time, has gone negative with windchill, we had a ton of snow this past year, the most ive ever seen.
Spring- 50-70
Summer- 65-85ish?
Sorry I cant be more exact all I know is that its cold in the winter which makes the summers wonderful. Humidity isnt dry?
This is coming from someone who lives a little south of the Twin Cities.</p>

<p>It varies quite often. We can get very humid and warm during the summer but it’s not as bad as the south east. Our last summer was actually a lot cooler than usual if I remember right. Spring and Fall are usually pretty great times around here, temps can vary from 50-70. As for Winter, it can get pretty cold and we can get a lot of snow, but it’s really not as bad as people make it out to be.</p>

<p>GET BOOTS! I bought my first pair of uggs after this year and I was much more comfortable after I started wearing them. Quality coats are a must too- the North Face makes excellent warm coats. Even though I’m a Minnesota native, I can’t understand why some guys insist on wearing shorts and flip flops in january.</p>

<p>snowfall changes from year to year, sometimes the snow doesn’t stay til after christmas and sometimes it comes every year. I’d say you would need a winter coat by mid november. winters here are COLD, sometimes the windchill is 30 below! I have <em>never</em> heard of the U canceling classes due to winter weather, so don’t count on it!
springtime this year has been absolutely beautiful! the campus is gorgeous all year-round and they do an excellent job of landscaping and clearing snow.</p>

<p>It can get unbearably hot in the summers, too, but it definitely isn’t as bad as the winters. It is fairly humid, but nothing like what you’d experience in places up north.</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>being a native minnesotan, i say bring your ice skates! or buy them here if you don’t have a pair of them. ice skating is really fun. there are many free outdoor rinks in the winter. pick-up hockey games are a great way to get together and meet new people.</p>

<p>Does it rain a lot during winter and whether they are heavy rain?</p>

<p>Im from Florida, and this is my first winter here. it is ROUGH. be prepared for some really really really cold weather, but its so worth it and the snow is pretty :)</p>

<p>And no, it doesnt rain a lot, it snows…</p>

<p>I have lived in Minnesota nearly all my life. It definitely gets very cold here, and often dips well below zero (Fahrenheit) - without the windchill. Windchills are often way below zero.</p>

<p>The average low temperature for Minneapolis in January is 4° F (according to weather.com). The record low is -41° F.</p>

<p>For the next few days it will be around 4° F in the morning the highs will be around 15° F … colder than average for early December, but not all that unusual.</p>

<p>I live in Minnesota. </p>

<p>Fall - very comfortable, nice temps</p>

<p>Winter - cold, but at least there is pond hockey, and it’s easier to study when its not nice. Average snow for a northern state. This year we have a ton - metrodome roof collapsed. </p>

<p>Spring - comfortable</p>

<p>Summer - great, especially if you have access to lake, usually high is in low 80’s, does get humid though</p>

<p>Unless you hate the cold, I wouldn’t make a decision based on weather</p>

<p>It’s winter now, but if you check this page every few days for a few months you’d probably get a pretty good feel for the seasons: [Perl</a> Weather](<a href=“http://www.menet.umn.edu/~dzarling/pressure/]Perl”>http://www.menet.umn.edu/~dzarling/pressure/)</p>

<p>There’s more sun in the winter in Minnesota than other states located around the Great Lakes which is a good thing. Sunny and zero makes the snow sparkle. I lived there for 8 years and I’ll take Minnesota winter over Great Lakes dreary winters anyday. If I remember it’s also less “damp” in the winter. Damp cold is colder than dry cold…YMMV.</p>
