Minneapolis hasn’t seen a Valentine’s Day this cold since 1923!
Minneapolis is looking to be at its coldest this week with temperatures of zero or below and drastically cold wind chills picking up over the next few days. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a Valentine’s Day this cold at sub-zero high temperatures, so make sure to snuggle up with someone this Sunday to keep from freezing.
This Sunday is forecast to be the first Valentine’s Day since 1923 with a sub-zero high temperature. One of the models we use is trying to send us some love. #mnwx #wiwx pic.twitter.com/9GZbnBBGUp

That’s not all. Friday night into Saturday we’ll likely see some snow, though not very much. What we will see is icy roads and freezing cold temperatures, so be careful when driving. Although Minneapolis won’t be setting any drastic records thankfully, we could be seeing wind chills reaching as low as -30 or -40 degrees.
Today through Sun, zero (Fahrenheit, not Celsius!) will be a difficult number to achieve for highs. Most dangerous cold comes Saturday night when wind chills will be in the -30s and -40s. Light snow this afternoon and evening will lead to slick driving conditions. #mnwx #wiwx pic.twitter.com/KnNw1T0W59

But don’t worry. The arctic air is going to be on its way out starting next week, so we have that to look forward to. We’re almost out of the woods. Minneapolis has also seen much less snow this year than the record-breaking snowfall we experienced two years ago, which has been a relief. For the next few frigid days to come, stay safe and warm.
