We start plowing alleys either before or at the start of Day 1. Alley plowing usually takes 12 or more hours to complete. After the Snow Emergency ends, we follow up with miscellaneous cleanup and more plowing, sanding and salting as needed.
The general public is alerted to snow emergency status via local broadcast stations, reverse 911 calls, mass text messaging services, public address systems, or lighted signals. Typically, a snow emergency is declared by the mayor or other chief executive official of a jurisdiction.
Minneapolis-St. Paul's coldest month is January when the average temperature overnight is 4.3°F. In July, the warmest month, the average day time temperature rises to 83.3°F.
The heat originated from southerly flow that developed between an area of low pressure over the Rockies, and a large area of high pressure in the southeastern US. With neither weather system moving much, the southerly winds maintained a steady feed of hot, and eventually humid air into the region.
Minneapolis is indeed safe and not a threat to visitors, as we say, every major city has crime and insecurity problems. You just have to enjoy your trip to Minneapolis and follow our advice.
