Your hat, wear it, hold on to it!

Posted at 2:03 PM on January 28, 2008 by Craig Edwards

We’ve come a long way in five days. Much of the state of Minnesota experienced a thaw on Sunday and Monday. Readings around lunch time on Monday were in the 30s and 40s; a far cry from the minus 10 to minus 35 degree temperatures on the morning of the 24th.

While the mercury stretched some 60 degrees in the past week, so has the imagination of a few Minnesotans. I spied two hardy northlanders wearing shorts today. I sincerely hope they get the news about the arctic air coming on Tuesday.

Be prepared for a smack of wind driven arctic air in the next 24 hours. Wind chill readings during Tuesday afternoon will be well below zero. Stow the shorts, find a scarf and remind yourself that winter rules in Minnesota in January.
