The climate of Minneapolis is typical of citycities located in the Midwestern United States. However, due to the city's northerly location, it generally runs on the cold side. Winters are particularly punishing with bitter cold arctic air masses pushing their way south from Canada. Of all the major metropolitan areas in the U.S., the Minneapolis-St.Paul metropolitan area has the coldest annual mean temperature of only 7.5 °C (45.5 °F). There are four distinct seasons, with characteristic large changes in temperatures over a short period of time. Winters are bitterly cold and dry, and summers are warm, sometimes hot, and frequently humid. The city experiences a full range of precipitation and related weather events, including snow, sleet, ice, rain, thunderstorms, and fog. The highest temperature ever recorded in Minneapolis was 108 °F (42 °C) on July 14, 1936. The coldest temperature ever recorded at the city was -41 °F (-40.6 °C), on January 21, 1888. The snowiest winter of record was the winter of 1983–84, when 98.4 in (2.50 m) of snow fell. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis%2C_Minnesota -
The climate is FREEZING COLD 9 months of the year.

Currently, it's hot and humid as heck. And for the person who said...'it's freezing 9 months out of the year'...that's only true if you live up north near Lake Superior or Canada. For the record, I have also lived in NYC and found the winters MUCH colder there due to the moist air, I assume. NYC cold seeps right into your bones.

I can answer this as I am a fairly recent transplant. It is the polar opposite of warm. When first here (about two years ago) the news caster was telling everyone it was a bit chilly out so if the kids have to be out more than 30 minutes, put an extra layer on them. It was minus 22 degrees. Weird though as we have the largest swing between cold and hot. The one or two months of summer get to about 90 or so. All of this is from my experiences in the Twin Cities. Up north, it is better.

Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. The frightening part is when you begin to acclimate yourself. I move here 40 years ago and just got used to the winters. ;-)

Lets see, today is January 15th, 2009 and on my way to work this morning, my car registered a whopping -27 degrees outside. Todays high will reach -11. Beach weather for us that can butch up to this weather. But the upside, there is lots to do in the winter, providing you can bare the cold. For the rest of us, we ask ourselves every winter, "why am I still here". Me personally, I love my 4 seasons and Mn is a very beautiful place to live. If I had my way, I would make the winters a little shorter. It starts to get cold here around mid Oct and last all the way to mid May if not June.

It's about 22 degrees right now.

Depends on the time of year...LOL

The weather changes from day to day, and its different from north to south. It's cold and dry in the winter and hot and humid in the summer. The humidity is like being on the south or west coast. 1 hour away from the twin cities they got 8 inches of snow, TC's got a dusting and it melted right away. It's awful!!!

Well, lets see, last night it was 30 degrees, then it shot up to 61 today, now tonight the low is 32 degrees and the high for tomorrow will be around 60 degrees again. Two words for the weather here - IT SUCKS!

I would have to say, depending on the year, where in the state you are, and what time of the year, you're going to have many different types of weather. The summers can get up to 100 degrees or more some years and our winters can get down to -20 or -30 degrees with a -40 wind chill some years. Sometimes we have lots of rain, lots of snow, or like this year, we had lots of flooding due to snow melt. So if you can't take temperature extremes every other year or every couple years, Minnesota wouldn't be for you.

The Twin cities are beautiful but terribly cold winters and hot and very humid summers when the state bird is the mosquito.
