how cold is it today

how cold

minus-17 degrees Celsius, to do the conversion for ya.

Colder than average, although it has warmed up since the morning.

Unfortunately the wind chill makes it feel -27 C -- according to our weather site.

how cold

When I get up tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (I believe that is Noon in the UK) the ambient temperature is supposed to be -17F. That would be -27.2C. With the wind chill factored in, it will feel like around -30F or -34C.

Too bad the wind isn%26#39;t really howling; we could the wind chill down to close to -50F, or -45C!

It%26#39;s perfect weeather for St. Paul%26#39;s Winter Carnvival!

I just got home from playing hockey, it actually felt good when I left the arena.

-14F air temp

don%26#39;t know about wind chill

as of 6 a.m. Thurs

Wow! We will be over there in less than two weeks. At the moment we are sweltering in about 40 degree celcius (104 F)...going to be a bit of a shock to the system!

Cold snap should end by then.

Where are you staying? What are you doing?

Right now the long term forecast says it should reach a high of about 25F on Sunday, 3 February, with possible snow. Of course, that could change considerably between now and then, but our recent cold snap is a little bit unusual. It doesn%26#39;t normally get this cold for an extended period of time around here. However, it is January, and this is Minnesota, so you kind of have to expect that.

Don%26#39;t worry, though, we have great heating systems here, and no sales tax on clothing if you need to buy a sweater or coat. And I can guarantee it won%26#39;t be 40C when you arrive!

Well it will be a relief to get out of the heat anyway!

We are staying three nights at The Marquette and the last night at the Holiday Inn Express near the Mall of America. We are going to a Timberwolves game (the highlight of my husband%26#39;s trip), shopping, and would like to go snow tubing. Not sure what else we will be doing, possibly the Science museum in St Paul? Can%26#39;t wait though, it should be great!

The Science Museum is really for children, unless you are interested in their temporary exhibit.

If you want to go to a museum, I recommend the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

For snow tubing, there is Afton Alps. You need a car to get there.

I think the Science Museum is great, and I%26#39;m 50 years old! I disagree with the statement that it is just for children.

There is also tubing available in Wirth Park, part of the Minneapolis Park system. It would be a fairly quick cab ride from downtown Minneapolis if you don%26#39;t have a car:

Another interesting museum in Saint Paul is the Minnesota History Center.

They also run the Mill City Museum in downtown Minneapolis, which is built on top of an old flour mill. From around 1880 to 1930, Minneapolis produced more flour than any other city in the country, hence the old name of Mill City.

Another interesting building in Minneapolis (down the street from the Mill City Museum) is the new Guthrie Theater, known for its ';Endless Bridge'; that soars out toward the Mississippi River. Visiting the Guthrie to just look around is free!
