It snowed in Minneapolis on Sunday.  Not much, but it's still on the ground today because afterward it turned cold.  When I woke on Monday morning, the air temp here was -13C/9F (wind chill -24C/-11F).  It's slightly warmer now on Tuesday, but we have more snow forecast for Minneapolis.

The high winds causing that bitter windchill are also changing water levels in the Great Lakes.  Like a lunar tide, but it's caused only by wind and is called a seiche.
