Weather and Building Across the State

Heat

Montevideo has the most hot days of all 115 Minnesota places listed here: about 19 days a year at or above 90°F (NOAA normals, Milan 1NW, MN station). None of the 115 listed places reach 90°F on 60 or more days a year. For most of the state, heat is a summer-month issue rather than a constant one.

Freezing Nights and Snow

Hibbing and Virginia share the most freezing nights of all 115 Minnesota places listed here: about 205 nights a year at or below 32°F (NOAA normals, Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing Airport, MN station). All 115 listed places average 120 or more freezing nights, when water-carrying units need winterizing or heat for months at a time. Duluth, Cloquet and Hermantown share the most snowfall of the 49 listed Minnesota places with this figure: about 90 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals, Duluth, MN station). All 49 places with snowfall normals average 20 inches or more, enough to plan for a plowed path to the units.

Rain

Waseca has the most precipitation of all 115 Minnesota places listed here: about 38 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA normals, Waseca S Rsch & Outreach Ctr, MN station). None of the listed places reaches the wet band (46 inches or 12 days with an inch), so rain is a day-of-event issue rather than a seasonal one.

New and Older Housing

Lake Elmo has the highest share of recent housing of the 105 listed Minnesota places with this figure: 42.1% of housing units built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024). 45 of 105 listed places are above the U.S. share of 11.4%. That describes the housing stock, not current permits, but it shows where new-home construction has been concentrated; OSHA's toilet table applies to every one of those job sites. Minneapolis and Duluth share the oldest housing of the 113 listed Minnesota places with this figure: a median year built of 1951 (ACS 2020–2024). 22 of 113 listed places have a median year built of 1970 or earlier, where renovation crews in existing buildings are the usual job site.

Climate Regions

Listed places by DOE Building America climate region (county-level, PNNL guide to IECC 2021 zones): Cold (102), Very cold (13). A state spanning several regions means the right advice depends on the city, which is why each city page has its own figures.

Shoreline Places

1 of 115 listed places have a Census reference point within 5 km (about 3 miles) of the shoreline in the TIGER coastline layer, which includes Great Lakes shores. Beach and waterfront sites need a firm approach for trucks and a firm route for ADA units.

Who Handles Event and Street-Use Rules

Of the 115 Minnesota places listed here, 115 are incorporated cities, towns, villages or boroughs. The rule of thumb for an event on public land or a unit on a street or sidewalk: in an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough government; in an unincorporated community, ask the town or township it sits in, or the county. We do not say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
