This report says Minnesota will get -62f.
- nkurz 13y agoYou were misled by the terrible article. The -62 F is the projected "wind chill", not temperature. Further on in the text, it says that the NWS says "lows of 15 to 30 below are expected" and "Low temperatures may fall to 30 below over north-central portions of Wisconsin". Their definition of "historic" is also quite a low bar: "Some of the coldest air in years, if not decades" and "predicting it will be the most severe since 1996". For the area, this is really cold, but not historic. For those going back and forth between units, an easy thing to remember is that -40F == -40C. That's the coldest I remember growing up in Northern Wisconsin. Overall, the climate in is approximately the same as Moscow, Russia.
