You covered a lot but I’d just add one thing. The winter feels long and the sky can be grey for weeks with no sunny days. Along with the fact that the daylight hours in a MN winter are already short. Maybe people aren’t bothered by it but I struggled with it when I lived there.
As someone considering moving to MN from Phoenix AZ, I really appreciate how you cover so many aspects about it, since I'm from MI originally but have never been to MN.
So glad to help!
I agree that Fall MN makes you to fall in love with such a beauty. Where is the hottest area? I know Duluth is close to Canada. Also, yes they recommended me to change my tires for snow.
I am moving next weekend to MN from OH. We have winters here, but not as extreme. Thank you for sharing this video!
You are so welcome!
I'll be moving from Louisiana to Minnesota in mid August. Gonna be a big big change for me.
Your videos are super helpful!! Please keep sharing more Minneapolis based videos.
I promise I will!! Any specific questions you have?
Hey Jesse! I'm really learning a lot through your videos, but one that would be really helpful would be an overall discussion of the housing market in the Twin Cities. For example, how hot it is atm, certain areas to pay attention to, unusual trends (or parts of the cities) from a real estate perspective, where people seem especially interested (especially young professionals/young families), etc. Thanks!
Even as far South as Oklahoma City, we have snow emergency routes, snowplows, and roads being salted. OKC gets snow accumulation almost every year, averaging at 7 inches.
It might be helpful to do tours of different types of homes commonly built in the Twin Cities. I grew up here but moved to AZ for a long time. Just moved home and was a bit confused about the many different styles of available homes and the pros/cons of each. Love your channel!
I just moved to lower town St. Paul and I found a place connected to the downtown St. Paul skyway along with a garage.
That’s great! Welcome!!
@@ToTheTwinCities Thank you. ☺️… also, I have a plant question. I saw that you have a great big plant behind you in your video. Was that a heat lamp over it? I have succulents and don’t want to kill them through the winter. Should I invest in a heat lamp or a heating pad. I joined some twin city plant groups but I’m still so confused on how to keep my plants alive in the winter.
@@carlachristinezavala nope! That’s not a heat lamp! And I would say just watch the ones super close to the window to make sure the windows aren’t getting too cold for them, but they should do just fine as long as you have heat in your new home :)
@@ToTheTwinCities sounds good. Thank you.
Also, get a free Energy Audit via the Utility company(s).
Best done in fall or early winter.
This is a great video and super informative like all your videos. We know the cat knows how to get prepared for the winter! Keep up the good work!
Hahah. Yes chicken is fully prepared!! 😂
Hi Jesse. I’m thinking of moving out of CA. I live in Novato, CA. We have perfect weather here. Are people/employers in Minnesota understanding about people missing work on days when it snows. What if I move there and don’t want to go to work from Nov-Feb? How do employers expect people to drive under dangerous conditions? I want to move to St. Paul or Minneapolis to get away from expensive CA. The only thing I can afford to buy in Novato, CA is a mobile home, which I don’t want to buy. I want to move somewhere
More affordable but I don’t want to drive in the snow. Also, are there workers who can move the snow off your driveway and roof at a reasonable price. Thank you.
Honestly, snow and cold is part of life here. Short of huge snow storms or 40 below wind chills, most jobs expect their employees to show up in the snow. And it is possible to hire landscape crews to shovel/plow for you, but it depends on what you think of as “reasonable,” and also very much depends on the home!
When it first snows find an empty parking lot. You can learn to drive on snow pretty quickly. And if you can find a friend to teach you. I was in the Air Force and I taught 3-4 people to drive in snow and ice. It just takes some practice. I recommend buying an all wheel drive car. I have a rear wheel drive pickup with snow tires and I'm fine. I love the snow, I cross country ski. Welcome to Minnesota and enjoy!
Hey Jesse! Question. Do you have any tips for dogs in MN during the colder months? Seems like it'd be tough to walk them safely in such cold weather?
I might make a video on this!!
@@ToTheTwinCities please do! We left our dog with my in laws because of fears about the winter. Would love your insight on this!
If you decide to live on the Minneapolis area, look up the (free) MSP Dog Park, located on 28th Ave., south of Highway 62, next to the FAA and/or MSP administrative buildings.
OR
Google for the Dog Parks located inside the Minneapolis city limits, they require a fee for a collar tag, run by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.
Hey viewer from FL here who is generally curious about life up north. Got a vehicle related question for ya. Is it generally advisable to have any kind of special tires installed on your vehicle for winter weather?
Yes! In my “things to know about moving to the twin cities” video I talk about this! But snow tires are really great for our winter weather, and all season tires are also acceptable. Buy truly, snow tires make a HUGE difference!
I own all season tires. They work perfectly fine if you live in the twin cities. If you are outside of the city it might be smart to invest in winter tires.
Is it possible to live in Minneapolis without a car?
Yeah it definitely is! There is pretty solid public transportation here-Metro Transit. Two light rails and a ton of buses!
