When did I move to Canada?!?

I've lived in northern IA and southern MN for my entire life, so I like to think I'm pretty used to the harsh realities of winter weather in these parts. The next 2-3 days, however, are going to be brutally cold, even for what I'm used to. The forecast is calling for wind chills in the -30 to -40 range DURING THE DAY on Sunday, and it's supposed to hit -50 on Sunday night. Earlier this afternoon, Governor Dayton ordered all public schools closed on Monday due to the bitterly cold weather that is in the forecast. The HIGH temp here on Monday is supposed to be -16 with wind chills in the -30 to -40 range again. I'm glad I have the day off from work on Monday. I might just hibernate for 3 days and hopefully wake up in time for work on Tuesday!
