Lot's Warmer in Nebraska
We might reach -2 F here. Amazing how cold it gets in northern Minnesota.
I imagine that Bemidji is still colder than your town, but I could be wrong. If you throw a glass of tap water in the air, most of it will hit the ground as ice.

Showing -18 in eastern Clay County. Had to dig out a few loader buckets of wood after blowing out the driveway this evening, was -19F then. Hydraulics on loader were super slow/stiff. I like going out to fill the OWB on nights like this, makes me feel like I spent my money wisely, can sit and watch the smoke go straight up in the cold air for a while... Stay warm and plug in your pickup tonight.

Here in Wisconsin just south of the bay it is at 0. In the house it is at 68 broke into my stash of locust mixing it with elm seems to keep up a good hot fire.

Here in Southern IL it will get down to about 2. That's the coldest it's been since I moved here 14 years ago. Rather nice for this Montana transplant. Haven't felt 30 below since I left God's Country. I miss the cold weather, but perhaps not quite that cold.
Only -16 a ways north of St.Cloud so far, but I know by morning that means -25 or cooler. Oh well, nothing we haven't been through before. After being over at a friends place earlier who doesnt burn wood, sure makes me appreciate a warm house to come home to on these chilly nights.

Currently -18 across the creek here in Cheezeland. Just checked a wx map a hour or so ago and Frostbite Falls (International Falls MN for you southerners) was at -42 at 1am. There's a reason companies set up shop there in the winter for cold weather testing. Hope it warms up a bit before mid-Feb when I head up for some fishin.
I woke up a few minutes ago and decided to check things out. Its about 4:30 am and -31. I checked out the temps around the state and I see northern Mn is getting plastered with cold temps. - 44 at International falls at the present time. You can bet the farm a full moon in Jan means that the temps are among the coldest the winter has to offer.
-31 Here in Princeton this morning. Coldest I have seen was a couple of years back it went to -45 or so. I remeber I had a picture of the thermometer in the truck. It was a diesel truck and it ran fine that day. Funny what a little preparedness will do for a man. Stay warm folks, spring is on the way.
