Arctic Cold Settles in for New Year’s Day

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The new year brings a blast of arctic cold to Minnesota.

A wind chill warning was posted for much of western and northern Minnesota early Tuesday with some areas seeing those readings fall 40 degrees below zero. Experts say with a wind chill that low, exposed skin can be frostbitten in just 10 minutes.

Forecasters say a warmup is on the way for later this week with temperatures above freezing.
