After moderating a bit since Valentine’s Day, temperatures plummeted this week with an arctic high pressure system slowly moving over the state. Retired University of Minnesota climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about that arctic blast, and the forecast for the remainder of the winter.
