Definition

For coverage purposes, metro Minneapolis is Minneapolis, MN together with every incorporated community within 87 miles that is closer to Minneapolis than to any other metro anchor — 22 communities and about 1,597,698 people beyond the core city. Communities are assigned to their nearest anchor, so the boundaries follow travel distance rather than county lines.

Geography

The anchor sits at 44.9778°, -93.2650°. Coverage extends in 7 compass directions from it, reaching 87 miles at its furthest. The largest surrounding community is St. Paul, MN — 294,873 people, 8.7 miles east.

Climate

Between October and April the Minneapolis area averages an overnight low of 25.1°F and reaches -22.2°F at its coldest, with 183 days below 45°F — about 6 months. A cat’s thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F against a typical indoor 64–72°F, so those are the months an indoor cat here is actively hunting for a heat source.
