19. -17 below in Minneapolis, -38 wind chill

Fri Jan 23, 2026, 11:59 AM

Jan 23

Spoke with my nephew in Minneapolis last night. He says it’s a full-on military siege in Minneapolis. “It’s worse than you think,” he said. The city was going on a city-wide strike today. Schools closed due to extreme cold. The place is crawling with ICE. He and some family are going on a cruise today: flying to Tampa, then on a boat. But they might not be able to get out because 1) the airport is crawling with ICE, and 2) the planes have a hard time taking off at the predicted -45 below wind chill.

We will get our first taste of near-freezing temps in S Texas starting Saturday.
