Frost Advisories

There is a frost advisory for this Sunday morning.  I was hoping we had already seen the last frost, but you never can tell.  I usually check National Weather Service Chicago at http://www.crh.noaa.gov/lot/ for frost and severe weather information.

For information on golf and frost delays, check out Frost Delays on this blog.
Here is the advisory for Saturday night and Sunday morning:
