WEATHER NOTES--

This from the Associated Press Monday:

MINNEAPOLIS — It lived up to its name: The temperature in International Falls fell to 40 below zero Monday, just a few days after the northern Minnesota town won a federal trademark making it officially the "Icebox of the Nation."

Fogeyisms says, "Ha! Big deal." Here we are about 500 miles of south latitude from that border town and we had a low temperature of -36.4 degrees one frosty morning in January 1994. See the photo at right.

We are experiencing heavy snow with a current temperature of 16 as I write this and forecast to receive between 6 and 10 inches from the current storm.

Kinda' makes it hard to look out the window right now and take all this "Global warming" stuff too seriously.
