Nearly two weeks before the first day of fall, frost settled in over a wide swath of northern Minnesota Thursday morning.
Temperatures plunged into the lower 30s across the Iron Range, Arrowhead and northwestern Wisconsin, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a potentially plant-killling frost advisory for the region.
The lowest temperature -- 30 degrees shortly after dawn -- was recorded in Ely, Embarrass and Tower (which holds the record for the coldest temperature ever recorded in Minnesota: 60 below zero).
By comparison, the Twin Cities was basking under a relatively balmy 53 degrees at 7 a.m., with no freezing temperatures in sight.
