My mother in law use to live in northern Minnesota and our current weather is normal for what she would have every winter. Like right now a low -22 and a high of -10 is just normal for northern Minnesota. They keep mentioning International Falls, Minnesota as being one of the coldest spots. I've been to International Falls and if the cold isn't bad enough to scare you away, the stink for the paper processing planets will scare you away. That town stinks like no other town I have ever been to.
