It was twice as cold in NE Minnesota Sunday morning.
Temperatures are expected to moderate Monday but another round of very cold weather will arrive by mid-week. Lows Friday morning could reach -15 degrees again.
The Rochester area may not experience above-freezing weather again until the end of the month.
