This weather sucks. I can't recall this deep of a freeze at this point in February.

By contrast today's record High (MSP) in 2017 crossed the 60 threshold.

Just have to go back 11 years to the end of February - first few days of March 2014 where we had a similar Arctic outbreak as what we're seeing this week.

That winter was brutal with a lot more snow than this one. Ended up being the 9th coldest all time at MSP, and coldest since 1978-79.
 


Yeah we cut our fishing trip to Red Lake a day shorter due to the cold.
 


Thank goodness for the $hitty snow blower today. That wake left by the plow was hefty.
 


And tomrrow is supposed to be the worse day of the two.

It's currently 79 degrees in Fairmont on the southern end of the state and 28 degrees in Warroad to the north. Some places could get up to 85 while northern areas stay close to freezing.

Severe flash flood warnings have been issued across parts of the United States, with meteorologists warning of a potentially “historic one-in-1000-year” rainfall event. Over the next five days, the Ozarks, the Mississippi Valley, and a large portion of the Ohio Valley are expected to receive the equivalent of four months’ worth of rain.

Spring weather up here is a flip the coin type. Ya never know from day to day
 

Looks like we could see a tornado somewhere in Minnesota by about Monday. We have been in a early-season tornado drought in Minnesota for the past couple decades.
