We're barely going to get a full spring this year, and now it looks like Minnesota is going to miss the abnormally hot summer the rest of the U.S. is expected to get. Depending who you are, this could be good or bad news.
It's hard to think that in mid-January we're seeing temps in the low 40's here in Minnesota. We've seen cold winters, but 55-years ago it was downright wicked.
Ever wondered how anybody can survive for more than a few minutes outside when it's double digits below outside? Ask any of St. Cloud's homeless and your heart will break.
Tonight's overnight temps will be downright dangerous. It's important to remember these basics to survive a Minnesota winter night when it's this cold.
Sure it's bitter cold, but is it the coldest ever? Not even close. The coldest temperature ever recorded in St. Cloud was -43˚ back on January 9th, 1977. The coldest temp in state history was -60˚, recorded in both Embarrass and Tower on February 2nd, 1996.
It has snowed 19 of the 26 days this December in St. Cloud, and some of the coldest temps so far this season are on the way Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Strong winds and falling temps will likely prompt weather advisories & warnings for bitter cold and dangerous wind chills. Bookmark the Loon interactive weather page for updates.
