Frostbite Falls hits all-time low

-46 degrees
DATELINE: INTERNATIONAL FALLS
The city known as the nation's icebox registered its all time low temperature today. Minus 46 degrees. That's not a windchill, Brian Williams of NBC said tonight. That's an actual air temperature. It would require 78 more degrees just to melt ice.

Wayne! BUTTON YOUR COAT AND REPORT IN. Are you and MaryAnn alright? Got firewood? Is the insulation holding? We know the car won't start. We'll standby.

One year ago Wayne was making pasta as our guest in Tucson. Temperature was 70 degrees. Let's see. That's a swing of 116 degrees!
