Outside of Minnesota that’s not even impressive for morning lows. Even in Minnesota rose temps are probably 30 degrees above record lows.

I lived in Winnipeg during the winter of 76-77. I remember the tv forecaster saying “it’s going to be a beautiful day today, a great day to take the kids to the zoo. The high today will be -15 F ....”.

a trend?

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

In St Mary’s county onCuckhold creek, at my Dads house it’s clay to @ 10 feet down, then changes to pure white sand...it’s a very clear line delineating the change..and leads to at lot of wonderment about the geological history there..

Perhaps this is part of the answer?

probably been posted before, but there is an MIT study floating around that strongly implies that the New York mass transit system spread, and is spreading the virus around. 
 

Here is the link to that study, and a link to a list of the busiest mass transit systems in the US.

Seems that cities with big ridership are prone to be hotspots, as opposed to places like Seattle, Dallas etc....

Perhaps the bus and subway systems should be shut down...
