Bitter cold blows into Minnesota

What a difference a day makes.

High temperatures on Saturday inched toward 40, but when most Minnesotans woke up Sunday morning, the thermometer was at 0.

A frigid cold front blew into the state, whipping up windchill warnings and nipping exposed skin.

While Sunday's high was predicted to hit 7, the low was expected to drop to 12-below.

Monday's high is forecast at 2-below, the coldest day in four years, with a windchill as cold as 35-below in the morning.

No snow is expect the next few days.

The Arctic blast didn't stop Michael Appleman from running around Lake of the Isles Sunday morning. He never misses a run, he said.

On Sunday afternoon, a few of the statues of famous Twins players outside Target Field were bundled up in sweaters, hats and scarves made by area knitters.
