Relatives went to Park Rapids area (Minnesota). On a lake ice fishing, thermometer showed -30 this AM.
It was -2 F here at my house here in Upstate NY. Haven’t seen that this “early” in winter, in quite a few years.
Oh, remember - Global warming is a political movement, sold by governing elites to stupid people as a cult religion.
