Minnesota, the country’s third coldest state, is a winter wonderland filled with enchanting surprises. Despite being known for its icy temperatures, there’s a warmth to Minnesota that goes beyond the weather. Many companies proudly call Minnesota home, adding a touch of bustling activity to this snowy haven.

The beauty of the chill and cold season lasts nearly six to seven months. For about three of those months, the cold can be severe, dipping below zero. But fear not, with the right attire, you can truly savor the weather.

Minnesotans, resilient and spirited, have a special relationship with snow. A white Christmas is practically a tradition here, and the arrival of the first snowfall is always met with excitement. Picture yourself on a snowy day, strolling through Hyland Park or the dog park.

Enter the woods, where fantasy comes alive,

Drips cascade from leaves, a dance in the snowfall dive.

White snakes, short and lengthy, on each tree branch they sprawl,

Icicles hanging, short and long, nature’s crystal thrall.

An adventurous realm, winter’s joy so sweet,

Frozen lakes invite for skating,

Hills echo with laughter for sledding,

Mountains beckon for skiing,

A thrill beyond compares,

Nature’s playground, a world so rare.

In the pitch-dark night,

Icicles on the roof, gleaming bright,

Powdered snow, a mesmerizing, and shiny light.

A white blanket adorns the ground with grace,

Calm, peace, and serenity in every space.

What a beauty of nature, a breathtaking sight,

In this winter wonderland, joy takes flight!

Now, on this World Snow Day, how can you make the most of winter in a cold place?

In Minnesota, winter sports are a must to truly embrace the snow and ice. From ice skating and hockey to skiing, sledding, and snowmobiling, there’s something for everyone creating a magical and heartwarming atmosphere.

And when the snow is just right, building snowmen, making snow angels, and engaging in a friendly snowball fight are favorites.

Discover the magic of ice castles, where local and international artists carve stunning sculptures, illuminating a walking path for a truly enchanting winter walk. You might even find a private alcove within the castle perfect for special moments.

While many have to travel to enjoy snow, Minnesotans simply open their front doors or step into their backyards to find themselves in a world of snow and ice. Come and experience the delightful winter in Minnesota – a season that’s as heartwarming as it is cold!
