As winter draws inexorably nearer, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released some predictions for what America can expect from its cold months.
And it's good news for Minnesotans ... who are fans of snow, as the entire state is within the area that the NOAA is predicting will have higher than average levels of precipitation between December and February.
What's more, the lower three-quarters of the state – which includes the Twin Cities – has a higher chance of getting above average snow than the top quarter.
