[PAR] [TLE] Peter Gideon Farmhouse [SEP] Peter Gideon (1820–1899) was a farmer near Excelsior, Minnesota, United States, who was responsible for breeding apples that could withstand Minnesota's climate.  Gideon's farmhouse, now within the boundaries of Shorewood, Minnesota, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [PAR] [TLE] Climate of Minnesota [SEP] Minnesota has a continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters.  Minnesota's location in the Upper Midwest allows it to experience some of the widest variety of weather in the United States, with each of the four seasons having its own distinct characteristics.  The areas near Lake Superior in the Minnesota Arrowhead region experience weather unique from the rest of the state.  The moderating effect of Lake Superior keeps the surrounding area relatively cooler in the summer and relatively warmer in the winter, giving that region a smaller yearly temperature range.  On the Köppen climate classification, much of the southern third of Minnesota—roughly from the Twin Cities region southward—falls in the hot summer humid continental climate zone ("Dfa"), and the northern two-thirds of Minnesota falls in the warm summer great continental climate zone ("Dfb").
