  2. The town Bronko Nagurski came from typically has the lowest temperatures in the lower forty-eight. I think it's in Minnesota but can't recall.

    It's International Falls, MN. ( Nagurski lived there but was born in Canada ).

    International Falls is often listed as the coldest city in the continental United States, with an average mean temperature of 36.4 °F (2 °C), however, there are numerous smaller cities and towns that are colder, the lowest being held by Fraser, Colorado at 32.5 °F (pop. 910). Dozens of small cities and towns in Minnesota and the Rocky Mountains actually have lower average annual temperatures; such localities include Embarrass, Minnesota (34.4 °F, pop. 691); Leadville, Colorado (34.9 °F, pop. 2,688); West Yellowstone, Montana (35.0 °F, pop. 1,177); Big Piney, Wyoming (35.1 °F, pop. 408); Silverton, Colorado (35.3 °F, pop. 531); Stanley, Idaho (35.3 °F, pop. 100); Brian Head, Utah (35.5 °F, pop. 118); and Wisdom, Montana (35.5 °F, pop. 114) to name just a few.

    International Falls is still called the "Icebox of the Nation" after winning the claim against Fraser in court. [8] One thing that does help or hinder International Falls is that Fraser is located within the Rocky Mountains which would help to depress low temperatures while International Falls is located on relatively flat land which takes longer to cool on warm summer nights.
