Old Farmer’s Almanac Predicts First Frost Date For Northern Minnesota
I know I am not the only one that keeps checking the weather forecast just waiting for things to take a turn in Duluth.
Sure, it's only August but really anything goes with the weather in our neck of the woods and anything can happen (and usually does) in September. Fall is right around the corner.
However, it has been a pretty warm summer with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. We will all soak it in as much as we can. When fall does roll around, whenever that might be, the Old Farmer's Almanac says we can expect a cool and dry fall for the most part.
With that comes the first frost of the season. You might be wondering when we will see that in Duluth and now, we have that answer. Read on if you dare.
