What to pack

What March feels like

Ice-out on the lakes is a real local event, argued over and unofficially wagered on. What follows is the second season Minnesotans joke about — road construction — plus a good chance of one wet, heavy snowfall that everybody insists is the last.

Winter is doing its thing: 8.2 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 5 days. about 24 nights dip below freezing.
