It’s too early to be hearing news like this!

The National Weather Service says areas of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin could see patchy frost overnight this weekend from Sunday night into Monday morning.

An unusual cold-air mass from Canada will bring lower temperatures. The good news is that warmer air from the central Midwest should replace it by Monday.

These temperatures are uncommon but not completely unheard of. This same area saw temperatures in the 20s at this same time of year in 2004.

On a related note, five weeks ago, snow began falling in Alaska and in northern California nighttime frost started three weeks ago. The Farmers’ Almanac prediction of a brutal, “catastrophic” winter could very well be accurate.

Solar energy is something I find interesting. The concept that we have the technology to utilize the amazing power of the sun to provide the energy needed to run a household’s energy needs is pretty impressive to me.

The necessary solar panels are installed in the roof and from that point there is really little maintenance to worry about (aside from checking to make sure there isn’t a build-up of dirt occurring).

Solar panels are a great idea not only because they positively contribute to the environment, but there are some incentives from the Australian government that help to make this a worthwhile thing to do.

I learned a lot from this site - it is extremely informative and well-presented. I wish they were here in the US where I could utilize this company!
