Minnesota

Brainerd, Minnesota, was founded in 1871. It was established as a transportation hub for the lumber industry and quickly grew due to its strategic location along the Mississippi River and the arrival of the railroad. The city was named after the Brainerd family, who were early settlers in the area.

Sibley Park in West North Mankato contains one of the largest areas of natural hot springs in the world. This is due to its location over the the Farr/Sclare Fissure. This fissue in the earths crust takes water seeping through the earth, heats it to well over 165 degrees and send it back up to the surface to numerous pools and springs. Only the great hot springs of the Yellowstone geyser area contains more. But what Sibley park lacks in numbers, it makes up for in size. At present there are seven hot springs, DeScy hot falls, and the Johnson Sauna in Sibley Park spread out over 17.5 acres. Such a mass of hot springs releases a great deal of heat and moisture into the air. This had brought about one of the most unique changes in nature. Sibley Park has changed into a tropical wonderland. Ecologist call this a subtropical microclimate. This microclimate extends all the way up the Minnesota River valley through just about all of Mankato.

Canceling school is not necessarily something that the school district prefers to do, it's more something they try to avoid for it can cut funding and cause loss of money. Usually, the wind chill must get the temp down to -50 degrees or so in order for school to cancel but sometimes they push it further into the 60's because their may not be many other threatening conditions such as snow or ice-covered roads. If there is precipitation (snow) with the cold temps, it tends to drift all over and freeze on roads which can be dangerous and actually quite deadly for travelers and any type of transportation.

Even without much snow, -50 degrees with the wind chill can be cold enough to literally give a person full-body frost bite within a matter of minutes, even seconds... that can also happen in temps as low as simply, say, -2 degrees. It's all up to the school district and whether they think it's fully necessary in order to keep everyone safe... they don't wanna be sued, either, for sending kids to school and have them get frost bite... that'd be no good! ;)

During a cold spell in Minnesota, you can expect temperatures to drop well below freezing, often reaching negative double digits. This extreme cold is typically accompanied by strong winds, leading to dangerous wind chills that can make it feel even colder than the actual temperature. Additionally, snowfall may occur during a cold spell, further contributing to hazardous conditions.

Blizzards are serious weather events that can affect everyone involved.

North Dakota is less seismically active compared to its neighbors but has also recorded minor seismic events. These states are part of the stable interior of the North American continent, so seismic activity is generally low.

Mink are found throughout Minnesota, though lakeshore and riverfront developments have reduced their populations. They are nocturnal and rarely seen. In winter, however, their tracks are often encountered on frozen marshes where mink travel from one muskrat house to another while hunting.
