Sub zero readings possible Friday morning

Less than two weeks ago, on Nov. 2, the Twin Cities saw a high temperature of 56 degrees. But that sun-splashed Sunday seems so distant. We have short memories.  What has Mother Nature done for us lately? Notice the relatively tight temperature profile between the maximum and minimum temperatures, a signal of cloud cover and…
