Time To Get Out The Coats
We are in the deep freeze for a few days. It went below zero (F) late last evening and may not go back about it until Tuesday. They say it's the coldest snap in 11 years. With all this global warming it is good to know that Minnesota can still have some semblance of a good old fashioned deep freeze.

Any way, fellow Twin Citian Tony Jones posted this a few weeks ago. Now it has a real meaning.
