What are the winters like in Minneapolis?

I lived there once. It has beautiful summers but the winters can be pretty brutal. One of the winter records is - 60. The twin cities is one of the coldest places to live in the U.S. and I think the average winter temp is -1 degree. I will note however that a lot of people had garages, even the apartment we lived in had an underground heated garage. If you worked in the city a lot of the buildings were connected by above ground tunnels so that you could limit your exposure outdoors during the winter. When I was there in the summer everyone was complaining how hot it was at 75 degrees. I thought that was funny but if you get that cold in winter I guess your body gets used to the cold and 75 degrees is hot.
