EDINA, Minn. – Families are doing what they can to cool down. The beach was busy at Wirth Lake in Minneapolis Tuesday as temperatures climbed into the triple digits across some portions of the state. Other Minnesotans, though, avoided the outdoors altogether. "I come out here three, four times a week and it's usually pretty crowded," Kristy Thiele said.
