Monday marked the eighth day of subzero temperatures in the Twin Cities this winter. Minnesota’s winter average is 23 days, however, so we’re well behind pace more than halfway through the season.
Temperatures bottomed out at a respectable minus 8 degree in the Twin Cities Monday morning. Here are some select low-temperatures from around Minnesota for the past two days:
Twin Cities, minus 8 degrees
Rochester, minus 9
St. Cloud, minus 16
Brainerd, minus 21
Thief River Falls, minus 24
Park Rapids, minus 27
International Falls, minus 30
Ely, minus 33
Embarrass, minus 36
Lake Kabetogema, minus 38
Tuesday brings another subzero morning to Minnesota. The core of the coldest air with our current air mass will slide south into the Twin Cities Tuesday morning. We should dip to minus 10 to minus 12 around the greater Twin Cities area.
If we reach minus 12 degrees it will tie the coldest morning of winter so far in the Twin Cities.
