What January feels like
The pond hockey championships take over Lake Nokomis and the Art Shanty Projects build a temporary village out on the ice — this city genuinely likes its winter. Downtown, the skyways let you cross most of the core without ever putting a coat on, which is the other local strategy.
Winter is doing its thing: 11.0 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 9 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
