Twin Cities Parks Photos

This was nature's April Fools Day joke on us. Loads of wet snow flakes were falling on Monday afternoon and into Tuesday early morning hours. After a beautiful day on Sunday, it was hard to believe the weather forecast for Monday. But... then it came...

snow flakes

As we approach the end of this year's winter season, we are awaiting for snow statistics comparison. It looks like this has been the snowiest March since 1984.

To check statistics for the most and the least snowy winters in Minnesota, go to


NOAA's National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office

Enjoy the photos of the park scenes early Tuesday morning.

Best of the Twin Cities: Recreation in Twin Cities - Windsurfing on Ice

When you live in Twin Cities, you have many choices when it comes to recreation. This is what some Minnesotans do at the end of March when layer of ice on lakes is still thick enough, air temperature is a bit warmer and the wind picks up. These photos of ice surfers on Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis were taken on March 27, 2008.

Think you can’t afford to live in Edina? Think again…

Thanks to the Edina Housing Foundation (EHF), you can purchase a home with just $1,000 cash out of pocket. This program was designed as an incentive for young lower income families to move into the city after the 2000 census identified that over 25% of Edina homeowners are over 65 years of age.

This is a second mortgage program that works in conjunction with the first mortgage. You may borrow up to $60,000. The loan officer will determine the maximum amount you can qualify for. There are income and asset restrictions. For example, a single individual's maximum income should be $55,000, or less; a family of 2-4 should have a total household income of $63,000, or less.

So, what's available in Edina for under $325,000?

35 single family homes, 2 under $200,000

6 townhomes, 1 under $200,000

145 condos, 116 under $200,000

6 twin homes, 0 under $200,000
