19 Items That Are Banned From Checked Bags Right Now in Minnesota

We had a huge issue at our house the other day.  I needed to get my kid to Kansas so he could be back in time for the first day of college at Wichita State University.  But...Iowa decided to throw a temper tantrum and launch a blizzard in my path at the exact time we were planning to head South from Minnesota. #NotNiceIowa

As moms do, we try to find solutions to the problems that are in front of us...while we are working, packing lunches, managing kids' sports schedules, grocery shopping...and I was on a mission to figure out how to get my kid from Minnesota to Kansas in two days.  Driving was an option but only if Iowa and Mother Nature came to an understanding that the wind and blizzard situation was going to stop.  I was trying to be patient but knew that the weather may just continue to suck and so I started to check out prices for flights from Minneapolis to Wichita.

Do You Love or Hate Winters in Minnesota?

I grew up in Iowa and can tell you for a fact that Iowa winters are worse than what we normally get in Minnesota.  The Polar Vortex in 2020 was horrid but I survived the ice storm of Halloween in the 90's in Iowa where electricity was out at our house for over 2 weeks and there were live electrical wires in our backyard on the ground.  Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was covered in ice.

There are some perks to winter but right now, as the temps have plummeted below zero, a bunch of Minnesotans have helped create a list of the things people hate the most.  If you are feeling a little bit of anger about this freezing season, you may like what you see below.
