The coldest temperature ever recorded in Minnesota is -60F, up at Tower on the morning of February 2, 1996. A quirk in the geography of the Mesabi Range allows super cold air to pool near the town. The coldest temperature ever recorded in what is now the Twin Cities is -34F on January 12, 1970.

During undergrad, there was a week in January 2004 was one of those weeks where it didn't get above zero even for a high. Classes continued as normal. Finally, on Friday, it was sunny and it warmed up into the 20s. We were walking to our DBM class when we passed a campus tour going the other way. Someone was heard to remark that if someone from Florida was in that group and heard us talking about how warm it was when they were freezing, they would turn tail and run.
Yup.  When I was working in Minneapolis one year, I was there from late October until December 23rd.  When I flew out it was around 20 degrees and hadn't been above freezing in several days.  The locals told me, "You're lucky you're leaving before it gets really cold."

The lowest recorded temperatures were −6 °F (−21.1 °C) and −8 °F (−22.2 °C) on January 20 and 21 of 1985, and −9 °F (−22.8 °C) on February 13, 1899.

I've been here four winters now and I think the coldest night was around 20°F.  

What was the coldest temperature ever recorded in Georgia? According to The Weather Channel, the coldest temperature was 17 degrees below zero. The coldest temperature ever was recorded Jan. 27, 1940, reported in the city of Chatsworth, in Murray County, Ga.

If that sounds cold, get this — the coldest temperature ever recorded in the country was in Alaska 48 years ago, when thermometers read 80 degrees below zero in Prospect Creek, near Fairbanks. The coldest temperature recorded in the continental U.S. was 70 degrees below zero at Rogers Pass, Montana, in 1954.

Nope. I had hope that being in the B1G would elevate their support and program. Not so much. They are just sucking up a share of the revenues.

Out with Rutgers and in with?? Who would you trade for - realistically?

I'd go with Syracuse. They bring in more NYC than the SUNJ I'd think.

Schiano will have them playing good football, but they won't ever win a conference title.
I am not sure about "never," but perhaps never in our lifetime.
If you include Penn State, the remaining 11 traditional Big Ten teams have each played in the Rose Bowl, even Indiana, following the 1967 season. I remember the Hoosiers in circa had a huge fullback named John Isenbarger, an appropriate name for a fullback, who was as tougher than nails. They comported themselves well against #1 USC, and OJ Simpson, but lost 14-3.
I don't think we can project past 20-years (which is my expected lifespan) to project what schools can never win a Big Ten Conference Championship.
What other schools are incapable of winning a Big Ten title?

Twenty years from now I'd guess teams that win the B1G could include the obvious ones and then Purdue/NW/Maryland/... with an outside shot.  rutgers?   Small chance, I think.  Things could change rapidly somehow of course, but unexpectedly.  Illinois?  Probably about the same.  Indiana?  Same as R.

I'm not so sure we'd have CFB in twenty ... anything like it is now.

The Big 20 ?  The Big 24 ?
