Congratulations to those who have brought this to FA status so soon after its creation. It is an impressive and well-researched body of work.
I believe that some sections could still benefit from a copyedit and some tightening. I will do that, on a section-by-section basis, so that changes anyone disagrees with my changes can more easily revert them. Kablammo 01:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Anyone want to add this to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests? A solstice or equinox would be good days. - Ravedave ( Adopt a State) 04:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I found something in the MHS photo archive, here is the caption:
Southern Minnesota Division, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul passenger train coming through a snow cut near Sherburne.'
They don't actually show the picture, but it looks like the same thing. Gopher backer 16:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I added an image I found from the Lake Superior article into the Lake Superior section on this article. Does that work? Also, a friend of mine has a great, unique picture of a rainbow that he took from right outside his house that I'd like to fit in here too. I'm wondering if I should put this in the In Popular Culture section, or not becuase it doesn't really fit the theme of that section? If we don't put it there, does anyone have a good idea for an image for that section? Would it be possible to get a screenshot of a barren snow covered landscape from Fargo? (I'm not familiar at all with the rules surrounding movie screenshots) Gopher backer 02:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Should the flooding section make a note about ice dams (aka ice jams), they seem to have caused problems this year. It looks like the ice dam article needs work too... - Ravedave 03:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't think arctic should be capitalized. What's the rationale?-- Appraiser 01:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Should Straight-line winds and Derechos be mentioned in the article? The Boundary Waters-Canadian Derecho made wikipedia's List of derecho events - Ravedave 14:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Should Minnesota weather extremes be merged into this article? -- Cyclopia 22:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Is it worth adding in Bow echoes? It seems like they have been occurring a lot lately. - Ravedave 03:44, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Something that has never quite felt right was things like tornadoes or blizzards ended up under a specific season, even though they occur in three different seasons. I did a little redesign. I don't think I added any content, just moved it around. What does everyone think? User:Gopher backer/sandbox3. Gopher backer 05:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I removed this edit, though it is an interesting fact it appeared to me to make the sentence state something that isn't true. Just because you're on the 45th parallel doesn't mean you'll automatically have a continental climate. What makes that so for us is that we are landlocked by 1000 miles on all sides. Similarly, there are also many areas that have a continental climate that are nowhere near the 45th parallel. Gopher backer 19:52, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
I am From Duluth Minnesota and live there 23 years of my life , and Tower Minnesota is not the Ice Box but International Falls is . I am going to change it if no one else will. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.19.92 ( talk) 05:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
minnesota can have cold bruttel winters but it pays off in summer when they have hot warming summers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.133.109 ( talk) 18:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
it is typically hot in the summer but it gets really cold in the winter sometimes people cant go outside it is so cold —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.88.92.125 ( talk) 21:44, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Minnesota's climate needs the average temp, not the highest ever and the lowest ever. Though it gets to -10 for about two weeks and can get to 90, it rarely ever get below or above these temps. Also, we should talk about how we adapt to this weather (we are always by a lake in the summer and have many plows (for snow) and very warm clothing. -A Minnesotan since birth -- MiniKing ( talk) 14:01, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
I recognize that this article is well written an detailed, however am I the only one that finds it odd that Minnesota seems to be one of the only states that has its own page for nearly everything? I mean honestly, there needs greater effort to make a page for EACH INDIVIDUAL state, so there is no bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.250.32.72 ( talk) 17:22, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
When I clicked on the article I came from the main page as I tend to have a look at all of the featured articles, This meant that I wasn't really sure exactly where Minnesota was in the USA. I expect taht most people would come from the Minnesota artilce so would know already but a little map showing the location in the USA would be handy early in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.117.126 ( talk) 16:22, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Should we split the "Winter" section out into a new article called " Winter in Minnesota"? This might be good because winter in Minnesota is notable enough and has enough coverage to have an article of its own. — Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs) 23:49, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

There's significant uncited text, substantial layout issues, and several referencing issues, such as books missing page numbers. This article is no longer at the FA standards. As I have basically no scientific background, I do not feel confident in my ability to fix this. Hog Farm Bacon 06:01, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
