Minnesota is Minnesota, leave them alone, people have preferences of climates, and sometimes, people don't want to leave their homelands. If you go move to California or Florida, then everything's fine. DO NOT go into MN or Alaska to complain about spruce trees, the cold, and the snow please. Thank you.
Almost exactly the same snow in Boston, and due to the ocean impact at Logan, I would think most of Metro Boston actually gets more snow than most of the Twin Cities Metro. Also, same temps from April to Oct. (I grew up near Boston it's why I'm comparing). I'm guessing wind speeds in MN are lower as well.
Given the addition sun relative to cities downwind of the Great Lakes, really not much worse than other cold tier cities in spite of the higher latitude.
