Yesterday Morning

I've been really good about walking to school no matter the weather. This morning, however, I caved and asked Dale for a ride.

MLK Day - Chilly

Yes, 40 Days Below Zero

It must have fallen below zero because about a half hour ago the National Weather Service tweeted:

"Today marks the 40th sub-zero low temperature recorded at the Minneapolis airport this winter."

40 Days Below Zero?

About an hour ago, local meteorologist Matt Brickman tweeted: 

"0 degrees now in #MSP. When we fall below zero, that'll make 15 subzero starts in a row & 40 such days this winter! And Monday will be even colder."

School Cancelled - And Again!

Looks like school is cancelled for Tuesday as well due to extreme cold.

School Cancelled - Again!

School cancelled today. The temperature when I woke up this morning is shown above.

Cold as Mars?

Todd Nelson of the StarTribune wrote yesterday:

"According to a recent report by NASA, average high temperatures recorded by the Mars Rover Curiosity, have been comparable to what we experienced Monday [Jan. 6]! Our overnight lows have actually been colder than highs recorded on the surface of Mars, so next time your family calls from Phoenix, you can tell them how hardy us Minnesotans really are!"

More Below Zero in the Backyard

Below Zero In the Backyard

Just found out school is cancelled for tomorrow too...

Bitter Cold

The governor called off school today because of the extreme cold. I woke up about 8:00 this morning and the temperature was 20 below zero. By 9:30 it was still 20 below. By noon, when I took Athena out for a walk, it was 17 below!

Welcome 2014

Have been on vacation for the past 2 weeks. Was to go back to school on Monday but just found out that Governor Dayton has called off school for that day due to anticipated temperatures being extremely low. They are predicting -27 for the low on Sunday and then -15 for the high on Monday.

Quite Chilly

Yowza! This was the temperature when Dale and I left for the gym on Saturday morning.
