Winter in Minnesota

With nearly a foot of the white stuff already having fallen across southeast Minnesota, here's how the city of Rochester figures out which roads to plow first.

To all the snowplow operators, you've had a really busy year so far with all the snow we've had, but thanks for keeping our roads and parking lots clear and for always keeping an eye out for our kids, and keeping them safe too.

Here is reason 1066 to love Minnesota: We take our bars out onto the ice during winter.

Now that it’s cold outside, many people are using space heaters. Plug them directly into the wall, not a strip. Keep at least 3 feet away from any furniture, toys, curtains, bedding, etc. Do not cover the cord!

Remember that snow we got last weekend? Yeah, it caused more than a few problems on roads across Minnesota...

Now that we've fallen back it gets darker earlier so to combat the dark evenings and colder temps you may want to embrace this Norwegian concept to help you get through these next few darker months. The concept is known as 'koselig'.
