Learn why it's a good thing that ..."Many locations in northern Minnesota dipped to 30 degrees below zero."
The temperature hit -43F in Cotton, Minnesota this morning. That is the coldest in the contiguous U.S.
Why is that a good thing for Minnesota's trees?

The crows above the forest call;
To-morrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow,
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled...
