After another Upper Midwest Blizzard, temperatures dropped into the teens below zero or lower, with winds averaging 10 to 20 mph from the northwest. This created wind chill values of 35 below zero for a long period from early Monday January 27th, to Tuesday, January 28th.
Although there was a period where wind chill values rose above 35 below zero during the day of Monday, January, 27th, these values once again dropped to dangerous readings of 35 below zero by the evening.
Schools were closed once again across the state, with many businesses and recreational actives cancelled.
Due to the prolonged cold period, propane supplies in the North Central and Great Lakes States dropped to very low levels. The sustained subzero temperatures had
sped up the consumption of this energy and on hand stocks were dangerously low. Governor Mark Dayton issued Emergency Executive Order on January 27, declaring a Peacetime State of Emergency in Minnesota in response to a severe shortage of propane and other home heating fuel supplies statewide.
Some of the lowest wind chill values include;
-48 degrees at Glenwood.
