Measuring our wimpy winter so far
We’ve had a taste of really cold weather the past week but even that cold has been warmer than normal midwinter cold snaps. Snowfall has also been far behind normal values this season. 
Colder-than-normal Friday and Saturday before a big warmup
Friday and Saturday will be cold before a rapid warmup builds into Minnesota. Highs will be in the 30s to near 40 degrees next week. 
Weekend weather: Dry; chilliest temps Saturday
Our stretch of very cold temps will come to an end Sunday afternoon. We have your weekend weather details.
Minnesota ice season will be one for the record books
A January cold snap has created new ice on Minnesota lakes after record December warmth created open water on lakes across the state. The shortened ice season fits a long-term trend toward fewer days of frozen lakes across the state.
Wind has relaxed. Quite mild next week
Blustery winds have ended. Cold temperatures continue through Saturday before a significant warmup.
