Hey Minnesotans, did you leave your house this weekend?

If so, CONGRATS, you heroes!

Temperatures remained sub-zero for most of Minnesota throughout the weekend and we're starting out today with temps ranging from 30 below in parts of northern Minnesota to single digits below zero in the far southeast. Today in the Twin Cities, we're looking at a high of around 0. The sun will be out, yes, but don't let that deceive you.

This cold snap is going to stick around for much of this week, so let's try to warm it up this morning, shall we?

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs can you think of that might offer us some warm thoughts for this cold week?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
