"From Historic Freeze to Supersized Thaw: US Weather Set for Wild Temperature Swing"

A supersized January thaw is expected to melt most of the snow cover across Minnesota by late next week, with temperatures reaching the 30s and possibly even the 40s or 50s in some spots by early February. The weekend will bring cold temperatures, but the milder Pacific air mass will lead to a significant warm-up, accompanied by sunshine, and an increase in daylight as Minnesota moves past the darkest months of winter. However, historical patterns of snow and subzero cold in February may not hold true this year.
