MINNEAPOLIS -- The two-punch storm system is now history, but potentially dangerous cold has settled in.

The latest storm made it into the record books as one of the top 25 single-storm snowfalls in the city since the 1870s. It dropped an entire month's worth of snow and pushed this winter into the top 20 snowiest in history. If we get 7.7 inches of snow before spring, this season will end up as one of the top 10 snowiest winters.

Temperatures dropped well below zero overnight. Much of the state, including parts of the metro, are in a Wind Chill Advisory, where it could feel like 35 degrees below zero on exposed skin.

Friday remains cold, with a brief shot of some light snow in the evening, with less than an inch expected.

Temps will warm into the mid-to-upper-20s this weekend, and it will stay dry. They'll reach above-freezing by Sunday.

CHECKLIST: Winter emergency kit for vehicles

Monday will be warm enough that our next system will likely feature rain turning to snow.  It doesn't appear to be another whopper at this point.
