Moving to Rochester MN from California!

Hi everyone! I’m going to be moving to Rochester, Minnesota this summer from California for work, and I’m both excited and nervous. I’ve lived in California my whole life, so this will be my first time living in the Midwest and my first time experiencing real snow/winters. 😅

I would love any tips, tricks, or advice you have for someone completely new to the area. Things like:

  • What to expect during winter
  • Driving in snow/ice
  • Clothing or essentials I should buy
  • Areas of town to know about
  • Things to do in Rochester
  • Midwest culture differences
  • General “I wish I knew this before moving here” advice

I’m really looking forward to the change and would appreciate any recommendations or insight from locals/current residents. Thanks in advance!
