  1. Remember those Ford television commercials using International Falls to tell American that it was cold in Minnesota but that a Ford could start even if the temperatures were below zero ?

    That's the Minnesota that I remember ... it should be cold ... it should be below zero for a few days each year. Remember those days, when you would go out at 3 AM and start the car just so it would be able to start when you needed it hours later ?

    Well, we know that last year was a "warm winter" but how long has it been warm ?
    As of today, we are only 16 days from the all-time record for consecutive days with a high temperature above zero in Rochester, MN.

    Here are the top 5 streaks for most consecutive days in which the high temperature was 0 degrees or warmer. The last day in Rochester in which the temperature stayed below zero for the entire day was January 4th of 2010 when the high was -1°. Just two days prior to that, the high was -6° and low was -19° on January 2nd, 2010.

    1) 1130 days – 2000-12-25 through 2004-01-28
    2) 1114 days – 2010-01-05 through 2013-01-22
    3) 1110 days – 1955-12-20 through 1959-01-02
    4) 779 days – 1990-12-31 through 1993-02-16
    5) 749 days – 2005-01-16 through 2007-02-03

    That's going back over 100 years and since 2000, there have been three of the longest stretches.

    Yeah, I may not mind that it is not "shivering cold" but we have to acknowledge that climate change is real.
