From CNN:
It’s so cold in Minnesota, school buses are sliding down icy streets
Totally misleading, folks. Here I am in St. Paul, MN, looking at the thermometer and it shows 33.4°F, with an error range of ±1°F if I remember the packaging properly. That measurement reflects the day’s temperature range, really – I woke up to see it at 33.4° as well.
And the average high for December? 27°F. We’re not all that cold.
The real problem is a mix of rain and sleet, which it’s been doing, on and off, all day. If we have buses going sideways down the road, it’s no surprise. The rain hits the asphalt that’s colder than 32°, freezes, repeat and rinse.
Yeah, I haven’t ventured outside today. A little scary out there.
