It’s cold

Weather Story out of the NWS Grand Forks office paints a picture of more snow later today along with very cold wind chill readings.

Bundle up! The coldest temperatures of the season have arrived for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Use your own adjective to describe the cold!

The Wind Chill Index was altered several years ago. Wind Chill readings of twenty below zero approach the danger category. Exposed flesh can freeze in less than fifteen minutes. At daybreak the air temperature was eleven below zero at Fosston with a wind chill of thirty-five below. By the way, sunshine is not taken into account for the wind chill formula. It is based on exposed flesh with temperature and wind around six feet above ground.
