Are Langola winters worth it?

Your answer becomes a post in Town Square.

Ask your neighbors

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Langola itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Royalton 5w, MN (8 mi, snow) and Rice, MN (2 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991–2020 and 1901–2000. Today’s forecast: National Weather Service.
