A Snowboarder Gets Air in Minneapolis, MN
While Minneapolis, MN, has such recreational gems as the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, five pro sports teams and miles
of cross-country skiing trails, the city's arts scene melts the competition among most other great winter vacation destinations.
Minneapolis has more theater seats per capita than any U.S. city outside of New York. More than 20 theaters stage shows
ranging from children's plays and sketch comedy to Off Broadway performances and operas. Crowds at some of the city's top
attractions thin out during the winter months, so visitors get more time and elbow room to explore places such as the Minnesota
Zoo and the Science Museum of Minnesota. Other indoor hot spots include the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and a pair of
indoor water parks. Meanwhile, the five-block Nicollet Mall downtown and the Mall of America both help make shopping in
Minneapolis a must. An ample selection of restaurants and bars give Minneapolis visitors plenty of places to eat, drink and
socialize with several earning national accolades, such as 112 eatery, Bar La Grassa and Brasa Premium Rotisserie.
If the Minnesota Vikings are not in the pro football playoffs, sports fans still have plenty to cheer for at the start of a new year.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, a pro basketball team, and the Minnesota Wild, a pro hockey team, play games from November
to April.
Minneapolis' twin city Saint Paul hosts the largest and oldest Winter Carnival in the nation.
The city's outdoor sports scene includes ponds for skating, trails for cross-country skiing and hills for sledding. Minneapolis
hosts the largest pond hockey championships in January on frozen Lake Nokomis. Many golf courses in the area allow crosscountry skiing and the Lebanon Hills Regional Park, in nearby Eagan, has more than 12 miles of ski trails and hosts events like
candle-lit trails and nature scavenger hunts. Buck Hill, a ski area south of the Twin Cities, includes a half pipe for snowboarders
and tubing hills.
Activities: cross-country skiing, ice skating, sledding, tubing, snowboarding, ice fishing, hockey
Average Annual Snowfall: 49 inches
Winter Temps: 11 to 26
Must Try: Ice skating on a pond

Safety Corner
Prepare a Home Tornado Plan
 Pick a place where family members could gather if a tornado is headed your way. It

could be your basement or, if there is no basement, a center hallway, bathroom, or
closet on the lowest floor. Keep this place uncluttered.
If you are in a high-rise building, you may not have enough time to go to the lowest floor.
Pick a place in a hallway in the center of the building.
Assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit Containing- First aid kit and essential medications.
 Canned food and can opener.
 At least three gallons of water per person.
 Protective clothing, bedding, or sleeping bags.
 Battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries.
 Special items for infant, elderly, or disabled family members.
 Written instructions on how to turn off electricity, gas, and water if authorities advise you
to do so. (Remember, you'll need a professional to turn natural gas service back on.)
Stay Tuned for Storm Warnings
 Listen to your local radio and TV stations for updated storm information.
 Know what a tornado WATCH and WARNING means:
o A tornado WATCH means a tornado is possible in your area.
o A tornado WARNING means a tornado has been sighted and may be headed
for your area. Go to safety immediately.
 Tornado WATCHES and WARNINGS are issued by county or parish.
When a Tornado WATCH Is Issued...
 Listen to local radio and TV stations for further updates.
 Be alert to changing weather conditions. Blowing debris or the sound of an approaching
tornado may alert you. Many people say it sounds like a freight train.
When a Tornado WARNING Is Issued...
 If you are inside, go to the safe place you picked to protect yourself from glass and other

flying objects. The tornado may be approaching your area.
If you are outside, hurry to the basement of a nearby sturdy building or lie flat in a ditch
or low-lying area.
If you are in a car or mobile home, get out immediately and head for safety (as above).

After the Tornado Passes...
 Watch out for fallen power lines and stay out of the damaged area.
 Listen to the radio for information and instructions.
 Use a flashlight to inspect your home for damage.
