How do Minnesota’s recent winters stack up?
An MPR listener asked how many winter seasons — December through February — since 2000 have brought colder-than-normal temperatures to Minnesota.
According to retired University of Minnesota climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley, seven of the past 20 winters have been colder than average in the state, but five have been among the 10 hottest in Minnesota history.
MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked with Seeley about this winter’s outlook and more in their weekly weather chat.
