Gold Medal Flour sign, Washburn Crosby Mill, Minneapolis, -13F

Steam from double digit below zero in Minneapolis
The historic Washburn Crosby Mill, a prominent structure in Minneapolis, is illuminated by its "Gold Medal Flour" sign on a frigid night with temperatures reaching -13°F. Originally built in the late 19th century, the mill was a cornerstone of the Pillsbury Company's operations and a significant contributor to Minneapolis's status as a global flour-producing center. The mill complex, situated along the Mississippi River, represents a key piece of the city's industrial heritage. While parts of the mill have been redeveloped, the sign remains a visible reminder of its past.
