How many months out of the year is the weather nice in Minneapolis?

Obviously it depends on your definition of nice. late November through march really sucks (however I like the holiday season because it is a lot of snow without being horribly cold). Don't discredit September through October, the fall in Minnesota is beautiful. The summers get pretty humid and August is really hot, but you can't even swim until mid June. Sometimes the Mosquito's are worse than the sub zero temps. I would say 6 months out of the year you wish for Florida weather, but Minneapolis is still ten times better than Florida in every other category. It's not as bad as people might say, I like the severity of each season here.
