Depends on the year, and where you are. We've had large snowstorms as early as October (specifically a giant 30" statewide blizzard in 1992 on Halloween), and 20" blizzards as late as early May. Last year lasted from November into early May so about 6 months (but on average, I would say in MN expect Nov-Mar...5 months...to at least have snow...they all average over 7.5" per month).

Compare this to Southern California which goes on Hurricane notice with an inch of rain.

Luckily for me I get free heating (goes with rent) during the winter, so I can crank it up high. I do not get free AC during the summer, so I generally enjoy the winter more inside as I can sit around in the temp that I want. But during the summer I barely use the AC out of habit and stubbornness and it can get really hot.
