@bryanhansel

About -41ºC. Mercury freezes at -39ºC so that's the thermometer goosed.

(I once had the considerable pleasure of freezing mercury - the solid metal is very beautiful.)

@bryanhansel

I know, and is perfectly plausible for Minnesota. It's always interesting when a temperature falls below the freezing point of mercury. Especially if (and not in this case) someone says "the mercury hit -x"

@Fasgadh they are probably using some other type of analog liquid or a digital thermometer.
