Bob CollinsThis map, released today by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, makes winter look just as bad as you think it’s been.
It added up all of the hours in which the temperature has been below zero and calculated the total number of days of nothing but below-zero weather.
For the Twin Cities, that’s about three weeks. For northern Minnesota, people might as well live underground.
When you add up each hr below zero this winter, were at 20-25 days #mnwx #wiwx see for yourself http://t.co/aOPaWcld4Y

The forecasters say the cold weather will continue into next week. Of course, a week ago some of them said the below-zero temperatures wouldn’t be back until next winter.
