This January has seen temperatures reach highs of 45 degrees in southeastern Minnesota, and average monthly readings of 3 to 7 degrees above normal in many areas.
Minnesota has recorded the coldest temperature in the nation just twice this month.

They talk about Minnesota weather and climate topics at 6:55 a.m. every Friday on MPR News.
