Minnesota reported the coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous states thirteen times during the month, the highest frequency among all 48 states. Many northern observers saw overnight temperatures drop below -30 degrees F on several occasions. The mean monthly temperature for December from several communities ranked among the coldest Decembers ever. A sample listing includes: -4.1 F at International Falls, 2nd coldest all-time 4.6 F at Duluth, 8th coldest all-time 0.1 F at Crookston, 3rd coldest all-time -3.1 F at Roseau, 3rd coldest all-time 0.3 F at Park Rapids, 3rd coldest all-time -4.4 F at Embarrass, 2nd coldest all-time -4.1 F at Baudette, coldest all-time -3.7 F at Warroad, coldest all-time -2.9 F at Babbitt, coldest all-time -2.8 F at Gunflint Lake, coldest all-time In addition, some communities reported an exceptionally snowy month of December.

Minnesota has reported the coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous states four times so far this month, the coldest being -33 degrees F at Bigfork on the 3rd. In fact several places including Bemidji, International Falls, Bigfork, Babbit, and Cass Lake have recorded -30 degrees F or colder already this month. Temperatures are expected to continue colder than normal well into the third week of the month, with perhaps some moderation in temperature and a January thaw during the last ten days of the month. Topic: Overlooked feature of 2010 weather In my write-up and radio comments of last week about significant weather in 2010 several people mentioned that I overlooked the flash flood event in southern Minnesota over September 22-23, 2010 affecting at least 19 counties. One of the largest flash floods in history, this storm produced rainfall amounts greater than 10 inches in some places (11.06 inches near Winnebago) and near record flood crests on many Minnesota watersheds.

  • Minnesota Weathertalk 2016
    Minnesota WeatherTalk January-December 2016 Cold Air Coming Minnesota WeatherTalk, January 08, 2016 By Mark Seeley, University of Minnesota Extension Climatologist The National Weather Service offered an advisory to Minnesota citizens earlier this week about the expected spell of colder than normal weather which will start this weekend and linger through much of next week. This is likely to bring daily maximum temperatures in the subzero range for northern Minnesota, and just the single digits for the south, with common wind chill conditions that range from the teens below zero to -30sF. This Quick Fact Sheet was issued by the NWS earlier this week. Click to enlarge. Since the forecast calls for temperatures from just 0°F to 4°F during the day on Sunday (Jan 10), it is very likely that the weather conditions for the Minnesota Vikings-Seattle Seahawks football game at TCF Bank Stadium this weekend will be among the coldest in NFL playoff history. According to NFL.com the coldest game time temperatures in the NFL playoffs were: 2°F for Dec 22, 1990, Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI (Packers vs Lions) 0°F for Jan 15, 1994, Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo, NY (Bills vs Raiders) Dec 26, 1993, Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI (Packers vs Raiders) Dec 10, 1972, Metropolitan Stadium, Bloomington, MN (Vikings vs Packers) -2°F for Dec 3, 1972, Metropolitan Stadium, Bloomington, MN (Vikings vs Bears) -4°F for Jan 20, 2008, Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI (Packers vs Giants) -5°F for Jan 4, 1981, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Cleveland, OH (Browns vs Raiders) -6°F for Jan 7, 1996, Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO (Chiefs vs Colts) -9°F for Jan 10, 1982, Riverfront Stadium, Cincinnati, OH (Bengals vs Chargers) -13°F for Dec 31, 1967, Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI (Packers vs Cowboys) In many cases the temperatures during the game did not indicate how severe the wind chill conditions were, ranging from the -20°F to -50s°F.

It tied 1931 for warmest year in the Twin Cities record, and it was clearly the warmest year in history for Rochester. Also, Winnipeg, Canada reported its 5th warmest year since 1873. The signal of warmth was evident in the monthly climate statistics through October as the first 10 months of 2012 were the warmest ever statewide in Minnesota. You can read more about the temperature rankings for 2012 at our web site..... http://www.climate.umn.edu/doc/journal/warm2012.htm About 80 percent of all climate observers in the state reported below normal precipitation for 2012. The dominant pattern in the state was one of drought. For many areas 70 percent of the total precipitation for the year fell in the first 6 months, as drought gripped much of the state by late summer and carried on into fall and winter. In the late fall and early winter there were some reports of shallow wells going dry in some northern counties, another consequence of the drought. Thanks to severe thunderstorms and flash flooding over June 19-20, some northeastern communities reported record-setting rainfall values for the month of June: 13.93 inches at Floodwood, 13.86 inches at Two Harbors, 13.03 inches at Wright, 12.64 inches at Cloquet, and 10.03 inches at Duluth.
