I love living in Minnesota but I have to admit I am not a fan of January. One thing I do every January to alleviate the monotony of the white landscape is go to Como Park and take pictures of the flowers in the sunken garden. It is always warm in there and the flowers are amazing.
The St. Paul Winter Carnival helps make January a bit more tolerable, it really is the coolest celebration on earth. Time to hunt for the medallion, go to parades, see ice sculptures and fireworks. When the carnival is over so is January. I wouldn't mind missing January but I would really hate to miss the carnival.
