Minnesota CBC Weather

Minnesota winter weather is notoriously severe. On the CBC temperatures have ranged from -42 °F to 60 °F and the average temperature range is 9.9 °F to 19.5 °F. The ground is often snowcovered with an average depth of 5.8 inches and a range of 0 to 45 inches. Despite these hardships, volunteers have spent 82,532 hours and covered 595,167 miles during the Minnesota CBC. On average, volunteers spend 36.7 hours and cover 264.9 miles on each census circle every year.
