Reminder for you astronomy lovers! Skies will be mostly clear with lows in the 20s. Light southwesterly winds will drop wind chills into the mid/upper teens overnight, so bundle up if you choose to head out!

The Geminid Meteor Shower peaks Wednesday night! This shower is often considered one of the best and most reliable because meteors are bright, and optimal conditions could allow for more than 1 meteor per minute!
Bonus: the latest forecast has mostly clear skies.😃

Map by @gontsa shows the North American cities with sizable Ukrainian populations. Ukrainians didn’t venture far from their home latitudes when migrating across the Atlantic.

I tested positive for COVID this morning after developing mild symptoms Sunday night.
I’ll stay here in Minnesota while following CDC guidelines.

The Sun top the #Lynx 90-75, advancing to the semifinals while ending Minnesota's season.
Props to the Lynx for an impressive season. From starting 0-6 and at the bottom of the #WNBA standings to taking the first-round to three games. Plenty for MN to build on from this year.

Nature can be a little nuts. Our colleagues @esagor & John Loegering weigh in on what's happening with oaks, squirrels and acorns. Good story from @timnelson_mpr. mprnews.org/story/2023/09/20… #UMNProud

NOW: Set your alarm for 3AM in Minnesota and you may be up for a treat. MPR's @svensundgaard says early morning, maybe about 4 AM, might be the peak viewing time for the aurora borealis tomorrow. (NOAA experimental forecast image below.)

Last year, oak trees on my block had almost no acorns. Now, nuts are giant & falling like rain. As are truckloads of green leaves. Squirrels seem to be nipping off thousands of small, inaccessible branches to drop acorns into easy reach. Never saw it quite like this before.

A guy wearing a black polo shirt that said Bonfe Exteriors on it was flying a drone directly over the houses in my St. Paul neighborhood yesterday apparently “inspecting” roofs. This is an unacceptable violation of privacy and should be banned.

It’s bad enough that roofers are calling me all day every day, but spying on my home with drone cameras from the sidewalk is an outrage. Bonfe Exteriors said they were “inspecting,” with AI software to look for hail damage. This needs to be stopped. Now.

I should also add that neither me or my neighbor were asked for or gave permission for an overflight. My neighbor literally got a new roof weeks ago. One of the drone crew also knocked our doors despite clear and explicit No Soliciting signs right on the door. This is outrageous.

New universally accessible restroom at @mnstatefair is a game changer for people w/mobility & other disabilities. Many can't use existing restrooms & have to leave, sometimes w/families, because they have no out-of-home option. No more. Read about it: mprnews.org/story/2023/08/30…
