If you are a fan of The Weather Channel (one of our long-time clients), you may remember a fun-hearted competition between International Falls, MN and Embarrass, MN. It was a challenge to International Falls long held title of 'Icebox of the Nation' - a title I'm not sure I'd exactly desire, but nonetheless, a challenge.
It was almost obligatory for The Weather Channel to cover this challenge, so I traveled to International Falls with Producer Michelle Birnbaum and Meteorologist Stephanie Abrams for a few days to try determine the winner. All I can tell you is that this native Floridian was freezing the entire visit.
The photo above pretty well captures the essence of our visit - freezing temperatures. That doesn't stop the locals from enjoying Ice Box Days each January. Hardy locals brave bone-chilling temperatures for some outdoor activities, which fortunately for me, included a nearby bonfire.
While temperatures might indiciate Embarrass is a bit colder than International Falls, my thin blood couldn't tell the difference. It was simply COLD!
