Extreme cold temperatures are expected in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities in the coming days, with wind chills reaching minus 30 to minus 40 degrees. Officials are warning residents to stay inside, dress in layers, and keep dry to prevent frostbite and hypothermia. Homeowners are advised to ensure their homes are ready for the cold weather, while renters should notify landlords immediately if heat is not working. Anyone experiencing homelessness can call the Hennepin Shelter Hotline for assistance. The Cold Weather Rule is in effect in Minnesota, preventing utility shut-offs until April 30. Vehicle owners are warned against leaving keys in the ignition while unattended, as it may not be covered by insurance if the car is stolen. Pet owners are reminded to bring animals inside during extreme cold temperatures to avoid potential citations or seizures by authorities. Residents are encouraged to report any animals left outside in dangerous conditions to the appropriate authorities.
