Stated on the Weather Channel this AM, lowest temp in the US

It was my daily Internet travel site today.

Interesting history, the town was moved from it's original location in the early1900's due to finding iron ore under the original town. It was moved 2 miles away.

" About Hibbing, MN
Scroll to top
Hibbing is located in the Northeast region of Minnesota in St. Louis County. Once called the “Iron Capital of the World”, Hibbing traces its origins to a strong, viable mining industry.

The community was established in 1893 by German miner Frank Hibbing, who discovered iron ore nearby. In the 1920’s, the town moved two miles south to its present location after iron ore was discovered under the city’s old location. Building by building, using steel wheels and logs, Hibbing was moved to where it stands today. The move started in 1919, and took many years to complete. More than 180 houses and 20 businesses eventually relocated to their current sites, costing about $16 million.

What remains of historic Old Hibbing is now home to the Hull Rust Mahoning Mine View, a BMX bike facility, and a model airplane field. There is also a large park that is used for summer events such as the Mines and Pines Art Festival (July) and the Shifters Car Show (June). The foundations of many buildings are still in place and signs are posted with information about the buildings that were there before the town moved south.

Hibbing is known for several famous former residents, including music great Robert Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. Other notables include former Boston Celtics basketball player Kevin McHale, now a vice president with the Minnesota Timberwolves; Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor in the Charles Manson case who later became an acclaimed author; and baseball player Roger Maris, who held Major League Baseball’s single-season home-run record for 37 years; and entrepreneur Jeno Paulucci.

The mining companies helped Hibbing rebuild itself by building the City Hall and the high school. City Hall was constructed in 1923 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Hibbing High School was constructed from 1920 to 1925 at a cost of $3.9 million.

Hibbing owns and operates its own municipal electricity, water, natural gas and steam utility system. The Range Regional Airport provides daily scheduled passenger and freight service as well as charter service and hangar rental are also available.

The community has 32 parks, 2 golf courses, recreational programs, skate park, softball/baseball fields, soccer fields, fishing, hunting, bocce ball, horseshoes, boating and more. Sections of the Mesabi Trail, which will eventually span 130 miles through 25 communities, are located in and around the community.

Hibbing is fortunate to have a very strong community base developed in the areas of education, health, and community helpers.

LOL My error, inserted a hyphen in WRONG place.

The NOAA site reported our overnight low temperature was 31°, with an 80% chance of snow on Thursday.

I wouldn't have minded living in rural Minnesota if it weren't for the brutal winters. But the summers there are absolutely beautiful.

Now the Weather Channel stated a place in UT was the coldest in the US today @ 23°

Supposed to get cool here tonight, 40.

Hey you forgot the top draw!

Greyhound Bus Museum!

Got a cold front heading our way here next week, by Thursday we will hit the high 60’s at night.

34 sounds so nice, I really miss having seasons.

We are projected to get our first freeze next Monday at about 30 degrees. We seldom make it into October before the flowers are killed. Short growing seasons in Montana.

94 today, always like hearing everyone getting the cool weather up north, means we'll be cooling down eventually!

Oh. Whew!

We'll most likely see frost before the end of September.

Three days of dove hunting in Yuma - 115 yesterday (Dome Valley if you know the area); supposed to be a bit higher this weekend.

I have family in Maine and have spent a good deal of time there. I have also been to Minnesota and Maine ain’t got NOTHING on Minnesota winter until you get way north.

I like the cold. Hell, I love it but those Minnesota winters are freeze your balls off stupid.

Hell, coastal Maine's got nothing on Michigan (I grew up in the center of the lower peninsula) for Winters, much less Minnesnowda. They can get pretty brutal way up in the County, but down here's a cakewalk.

I’ve been to Hibbing many times. My father in law is from a nearby town called Gheen that is between Cook and Orr. The first time I visited Gheen in 1997 the population was 9, and my wife was related to 7 of them.

My mother in law is from MacGregor. I’ve spent many an august in the north country, and saw frost on more than one occasion

I used to have a fire contract in Hibbing in the 90's, in a PB4Y-2. We worked out of Warroad, and Bemidji, too.

I recall a firefighter responding in a helicopter to a fire moving across a lake; it was in the vegetation growing up through the lake. He got off the skid, felt ground at knee level beneath the surface, and put his weight down. It was ice about eighteen inches below the surface of the water. He fell through that and got stuck, now in the middle of a fire which burned past him. Another crew had to put in and chip him out. Stuff we just didn't experience in other places.

The folks in Hibbing were great.

I had to shoot up to Hibbing from Wyoming, one spring. It was tee shirt weather when I left Greybull, and it didn't occur to me to bring anything but a light pair of coveralls. Froze my butt off all night, working on a cold airplane. "That'll learn ya," as my dad's friend used to say.

Our lake place is about 25 miles from Hibbing. It was 42 in the cabin when I got up this morning. Had to kick the furnace on just to take the chill out. Think it’s going to be a early fall/winter. Looking forward to first ice for fishing. Could be early December. Winters aren’t that bad if you have a couple winter hobbies. But they are also brutal enough that the homeless migration south has already begun.

Gonna be crazy here in the Black Hills. Last hot blast of the year is said to be this weekend with Saturday forecast to hit 98℉ but crazy as it may seem a high of only 46℉ forecast for the following Tuesday. Each is just 2℉ from their respective day's records. And ironically 98÷2=46.

And oh yeah, snow in the upper elevations!
