Well, the first thing to note is that the twin cities are in their own category of cold among 2M+ US MSAs.
Yes, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Boston can all get pretty damn cold too, but the twin cities' winters are another rung down on the cold ladder.
That said, here are how those 6 MSAs grew last decade:
Twin Cities: +10.3%
Boston: 8.5%
Detroit: +2.2%
Chicago: +1.7%
Pittsburgh: +0.6%
Cleveland: +0.5%
