320th Festival of Frugality
Welcome to this weeks announcement for the newest Festival of Frugality. This week is hosted by our long time friends at Squirrlers. Thanks so much for the great weather reports. Here is my hometown climate.
Bayfield WI: Located in Northern WI on the shores of Lake Superior, this small town features January average low temperatures of 6 degrees (-14 celsius)! This is a place filled with sadness and cold form November to April…Glad I am not there anymore.
