Indy = more tolerable winter
Minneapolis = more tolerable summer, though difference in summer is much less than in winter

I agree with you, expect for the winter part.

Indianapolis is more tolerable year round.

Indy is marginally warmer during the summer months (high temps) Minneapolis has hard core winters.

Both are enjoyable to me. They get 4 seasons, that's more than enough.

Those graphs are bad because they don't seem to recognize temperatures below -20F.

Indianapolis is pretty close to perfection for me, temperature-wise. Their winters are what I need in terms of cold. They also do not drag on for too long, their average highs from March to November are the same as here pretty much, just with colder winters !

Minneapolis is nice, but I'm not sure I need winters that cold. That said, it's also sunnier overall and less rainy.

The scale doesn't but the observational data clearly shows it.

Btw, they are from the old TWC website before they revamped it. Now I don't think that they have city comparisons

It also shows Indy being cooler than it is. Must be from a different site than the main airport, because the extremes don't match up either.
