To quote a (somewhat overrated) cable television show: winter is coming.
The National Weather Service in Chanhassen has issued a frost advisory for most of the North Wright County Today area. Patchy frost might be more evident closer to the Crow River, but those west of St. Michael and north of Otsego can expect a freeze as temperatures dip into the lower 30s overnight and into Saturday morning.
Be sure to bundle up at the football fields both tonight and tomorrow!
Here’s the notice from the NWS:
