I was in Minneapolis last week for a short trip. I've been there many times earlier - I love that city! Minneapolis is probably
the coldest metro city in United States. It is similar to Nordic cold. In fact Minneapolis caucasian population is predominantly of German and Scandinavian descent. The city experiences a full range of precipitation and related winter weather events, including snow, massive snow-storm, sleet, ice, rain, thunderstorms, and fog. The lowest recorded temperature was −41 °F (−41 °C). The snowiest winter of record was 1983–84, when 98.4 inches (250 cm) of snow fell. Often temperature stays below 10 °F in winter.
I didn’t do much photography except few below. I was either jet-lagged or tipsy most of the time.
#1. Skyway system: Seven miles (11 km) of enclosed pedestrian bridges called skyways, the Minneapolis Skyway System, link eighty city blocks downtown. Second floor restaurants and retailers connected to these passageways, are open on weekdays.
#2. Downtown constitutes of high rise. Mix of old and modern ones.
#3.
#4. Headquarters of many fortune 50 companies. Hard to believe given the extreme weather.
