  • Extreme Cold Warnings, Winter Events, and Minneapolis Local News - Your Tuesday Update

    Extreme Cold Warnings, Winter Events, and Minneapolis Local News - Your Tuesday Update
    Feb 18 2025
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Tuesday, February 18th, 2025. We're starting off with some critical updates on the weather. Extreme Cold Warnings have been issued by the National Weather Service for Southeast Minnesota, leading to widespread school closings and delays. This means many schools in our neighboring areas are closed today, including those in northern Iowa and southeast Minnesota. The temperatures are expected to be particularly harsh, with wind chills ranging from -35 to -45 degrees in western and central Minnesota and -25 to -35 degrees further south and east[1][3].

    In Minneapolis, we're not seeing the same level of closures, but it's still crucial to dress warmly and limit your time outdoors. The cold weather is also affecting various events and activities around the city. For those planning to venture out, make sure to check the latest updates on any event you're interested in attending.

    Speaking of events, The Great Northern Festival, which took place from January 23 to February 2, was a huge success, showcasing the best of winter in Minneapolis and St. Paul with outdoor activities, live music, art, and dining experiences. If you missed it, there are plenty of other winter events to look forward to, including the upcoming City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival and the Luminary Loppet on Lake of the Isles[2][4].

    In local news, there have been no significant updates from City Hall in the past 24 hours. However, we're keeping an eye on developments that could impact daily life in Minneapolis.

    On the business front, there are no major openings or closings to report today. However, the Minneapolis Home and Remodeling Show, which took place at U.S. Bank Stadium, offered valuable insights and inspiration for homeowners looking to improve their properties.

    In community news, we're looking forward to several events in the coming days. The Minneapolis Convention Center will host the Midwest's largest golf show from February 21 to 23, and the Minnesota State Fairgrounds will welcome the Midwest's biggest and best winter beer festival on February 22.

    In sports, the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships on Lake Nokomis were a highlight of the winter season, and we're excited to see what other local sports events are on the horizon.

    Unfortunately, we don't have any feel-good community stories to share today, but we're always on the lookout for inspiring tales from around Minneapolis.

    In crime news, there have been no significant incidents or public safety alerts in the past 24 hours that we need to bring to your attention.

    This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    "Healthcare Battle, NFC North Analysis, Winter Wonderland: Minneapolis Local Pulse"
    Feb 15 2025
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for February 15, 2025. We're starting with some breaking news: a giant healthcare company is suing the State of Minnesota over a law designed to protect small pharmacies in rural areas. This development could have significant implications for healthcare access across the state[1].

    In local sports, our sports anchors recently teamed up with colleagues from Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit to discuss the Super Bowl and the offseason ahead in the NFC North. If you're a football fan, you won't want to miss this analysis[1].

    Now, let's talk about the weather. It's a chilly morning in Minneapolis, but that's not stopping us from enjoying the winter activities our city has to offer. The Lake Harriet Kite Festival was a huge success last month, and we're looking forward to more winter events like the 5th Annual Bonspiel & Winter Festival happening at Forgotten Star Brewing this weekend[2].

    Speaking of winter events, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival and The Great Northern are wrapping up their festivities today. If you haven't had a chance to check out the ice carving competitions or the multi-lane ice slide at Viking Lakes, today's your last chance[2].

    In other news, the Minneapolis REACH program is facing uncertain funding, which could impact its efforts to address health disparities among Black and Native American communities in our city[5].

    On a lighter note, if you're looking for something to do this weekend, the City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival is happening on February 1-2, featuring cross-country skiing, fat-tire biking, and a candlelit Luminary Loppet on Lake of the Isles. And for beer enthusiasts, the Winter Beer Festival is coming up on February 22 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds[2].

    In local business news, we're seeing a mix of openings and closings. The Discover Boating Minneapolis Boat Show was a huge success last month, and we're looking forward to the Midwest's largest golf show coming up on February 21-23 at the Minneapolis Convention Center[2].

    In real estate, the market remains steady, with a slight increase in listings over the past month. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, now might be a good time to act.

    In education, local schools are celebrating achievements in sports and academics. We're proud of our students and teachers for their hard work and dedication.

    Finally, in community news, we have a feel-good story about the Art Shanty village on Lake Harriet, which has been bringing joy and creativity to our community all winter long. If you haven't had a chance to visit, it's definitely worth checking out[2].

    Today's crime report is relatively quiet, with no major incidents reported in the past 24 hours. However, we always encourage our listeners to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

    This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Minnesota Senate Shakeup, Icy Roads, and Valentine's Day Snow Woes: Local Pulse Roundup
    Feb 14 2025
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, February 14, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news: U.S. Sen. Tina Smith announced yesterday that she will not run for reelection next year, leaving a currently Democrat-held seat open ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Not long after Smith's declaration, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced her intention to run for the Senate.

    In other news, a water main break is causing a huge, icy mess along a busy southwest Minneapolis thoroughfare, specifically around 50th and Penn. This comes as we're expecting another round of snow to hit Minnesota and Wisconsin today, just as Valentine's Day dinner plans are getting underway. WCCO meteorologist Adam Del Rosso has your latest forecast, including important information you need to know about this incoming snow system.

    On the job front, there are over 2,700 jobs available in Minneapolis, ranging from teaching positions to customer service representatives and more. Notably, U.S. Bank National Association is offering a 2025 Finance Rotational Development Program starting in June, and there are various leadership development programs available for recent graduates.

    In the world of entertainment, the Minneapolis Flyfest Ski Jumping Competition is happening this weekend at Bush Lake Ski Jump in Bloomington. The February Art Fair is also taking place at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, featuring over 45 vendors offering paintings, jewelry, plants, and more. For a unique Valentine's Day experience, the Minnesota Zoo is hosting an After Hours event on Saturday, complete with a silent dance party and love-themed tours.

    In sports, the Minnesota Timberwolves had a close game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, ultimately losing 103-101. On a brighter note, Giddy Unongo, a swimmer with autism at Minneapolis Southwest, is thriving with the help of two coaches.

    On the cultural front, the Luminary Loppet took place on Lake of the Isles earlier this week, offering a magical candlelit trail for walking, snowshoeing, or skiing. Upcoming events include the Ultimate RV Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center and the Midwest's largest golf show, also at the Convention Center.

    In real estate news, JoAnn Fabrics announced they're closing 12 stores in Minnesota as part of a nationwide closure of 500 stores.

    In crime news, police are investigating after a pedestrian was struck by a car in St. Paul on Wednesday evening. Additionally, investigators think three burglars arrested in Ohio last month could be connected to a string of high-end heists in Minnesota.

    Finally, for a feel-good story, Regions Hospital and Children's Minnesota shared photos of their tiniest patients dressed to the nines for Halloween, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.
