Minnesota is currently well above the jet stream so is getting all of "our" spare Arctic air flow. Get used to it boys! The jet stream is way down into northern Texas and is being bumped and deformed west by the current hurricane that came in from the SE. The stream heads from Texas to the NE and is passing just south of Michigan with 100+mph winds at elevation and is combining with the hurricane effect to cause abundant rain in the NE. Minnesota is likely in for cold weather for a bit here. We went from 0-60 on winter up here in Alaska. It was 60+ deg one day then 20deg a few days later and started snowing. It's 8deg here right now and there's 9" of snow on the ground and headed soon for subzero temps. Winter is here to stay.
