This has been the coldest month of December statewide since 2000. This month brought average temperatures across the state that were 7 to 13 degrees colder than normal, with many nights well below 0 degrees. Some communities will report average monthly temperatures for December that fall within the coldest ten historically.

University of Minnesota Meteorologist Mark Seeley talks about this month's weather and more with Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer.
