They tell me that the temps this past week in Minneapolis were the coldest in a decade. Because of the micro climate in the city, we loose bragging rights, for low temps, to the out-state people. -19F is the lowest I saw on our home thermometer. We are three miles from downtown.

My turf is buffalo grass, which is not recommended here.
