MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The National Weather Service has issued another widespread wind chill advisory for Minnesota.
WCCO Meteorologist Chris Shaffer says the advisory will be in effect through noon Thursday. It could feel like minus 30 to minus 40 degrees at times. Frostbite can attack exposed skin in less than 20 minutes in these conditions.

The Twin Cities will have a high of 2 degrees Thursday, with pretty much the entire state in the same frozen boat. It will be even colder in western and northwestern Minnesota.
Shaffer says a little clipper system will drop light snow across the state beginning Friday afternoon through early Saturday morning. It will reach the metro by about dinnertime. Snow totals will only range between a dusting in southern Minnesota, and over 2 inches in the Arrowhead.
Temperatures will warm into the teens Friday through Monday, with more snow chances Sunday and Monday. We’ll dive back into single-digit highs next Tuesday.

<h2>Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia has disclosed the reasons behind his shift from priesthood to politics.</h2>
<p>During a discussion with reporters at the Government House in Makurdi, Governor Alia recalled a light-hearted encounter with Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, who jovially teased him for transitioning from the priesthood to politics when asked about his motivations.</p>
<p>Reflecting on this, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/Governor-Alia">Governor Alia</a> explained that his motivation stemmed from a desire to continue the church's mission, which is to save souls and prevent people from being lost.</p>
<p>He viewed his entry into partisan politics as an extension of this purpose, aiming to serve and uplift the disadvantaged masses of Benue.</p>
<p>Alia, a Catholic priest turned politician who has held office for ten months, asserted that he had spent 33 years as a priest, deeply ingrained in the lives of his local community.</p>
<p>He had witnessed firsthand the struggles of the needy and marginalized, individuals who often lacked social representation and support.</p>
<p>Driven by a sense of duty to these vulnerable groups, the governor said he felt compelled to address the systemic injustices and neglect they faced.</p>
<p>Governor Alia emphasized that his decision was guided by a belief in God's love for all people, particularly those who are overlooked and marginalized, and he was determined to advocate for their rights and well-being in the political arena.</p>
<p>Despite facing suspension from the priesthood due to his political aspirations, Alia clarified that the church doesn't inherently oppose priests engaging in partisan politics, particularly in cases involving multiple political parties.</p>
<p>He explained that the church maintains reservations in such situations but also acknowledges circumstances where societal dysfunction necessitates a priest's intervention to bring about positive change.</p>
<p>Governor Alia emphasized the importance of understanding this nuanced perspective, underscoring his commitment to serving and uplifting all individuals, especially those in need of assistance.</p>
