In International Falls, for example, the overnight low is expected to be around minus-36. Brainerd may see minus-27 and Duluth minus-25.

In the Twin Cities, the low from Thursday night into Friday morning will be around minus-15, with minus-20 readings possible in suburban areas.

My dad went there around that time. He went to the junior high that later became NEI tech/dunwoody? It wasn’t central middle school which was just being built around then on 49th and Central.
I ended up going to Col. Heights middle school/high school in the 90’s (lucky me).
