Friendly Cold War Waged

The debate over who's the chilliest in Minnesota was waged on national television Sunday.

International Falls, Tower and Embarrass were featured on the CBS Morning Show and the Weather Channel.

While the Falls claims to be the Ice Box of the Nation, the average low temperatures in Tower and Embarrass are colder while Tower holds the one-day record of 60 below F on February 2, 1996.

Embarrass recorded an unofficial temperature of 64 below F on that same day after its official reading instruments stopped working at 51 below F.
