Good morning! It's 3 degrees outside. And it'll continue to be cold all week, with highs only up to 16, and lows as low as -22.

Minneapolis and St. Paul have declared snow emergencies after a weekend snowfall dumped several inches on the metro area. If you're a street parker, make sure to check out parking rules for Minneapolis and St. Paul. According to Updraft, light snow is expected to develop around midday Monday over western Minnesota, and it could spread into eastern Minnesota and the Twin Cities by late afternoon.

To soothe ourselves through this difficult time, what songs about cold and snow do you want to hear for today's Coffee Break?
