About one in four years, a February, will give more subzero nights than January, this might be one of those Februarys, according to climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley.

“We've had some remarkable strings of sub zero readings, especially in northern Minnesota,” where it’s been close to minus 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, said Seeley.

Nothing has been record-setting yet, but Minnesota has been the coldest place in the United States at least three times so far. But Seeley said that temperatures are creeping back up as the month comes to an end. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Seeley about the bitter cold in their Member Drive weather chat.
