It looks like most of Minnesota will see our first freeze of the season on Monday night. Here are some things you need to do before that first freeze hits.
Many forecasters, including those at the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities, have described the beginning of October as a "roller coaster." Temperatures have been fluctuating between the 60s and 80s, but we all know how this ride is going to end.
The Minnesota Ice Castles are back this winter! Last winter wreaked havoc on many ice-based attractions, but this year the Ice Castles are back and in a new location.
Octobers in Minnesota are known for crisp air and bright foliage turning the landscape into shades of red, orange, and yellow. Days get shorter, and nights become cooler, with temperatures usually in the 60s during the day and dropping into the 40s at night. It’s often an ideal month for outdoor activities like backyard fires, hiking, and apple picking while the colorful leaves are at their best.
