Not Minnesota, but Cleveland made it down to -8F this winter. Our ~2k sqft, 100year old home was retrofit with Fujitsu airstage minisplits. They're rated down to -15F, and -8F was no problem.
Install can be finicky though. I'd select installer first, and go with whatever brand they carry.

3) When you decline, suggest at least one other reviewer, preferably a junior scientist who tends to do a great job and is likely not on the radar of the editor.
Mwah. ABQ ligt wel op 1.5km hoogte, in de woestijn, dus om die reden is het al gauw een graadje of 10 koeler dan op zeeniveau. Ze hebben er ook een liftje direct de sneeuw in. Wel goed insmeren, maar verder een prima stad om te wonen.
Wait until you get to skibidi and its origin story.
Nature valt zeker onder de predatory journals.
En zonder al te diep op financien in te gaan, het journal waar ik voor edit (Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics) heeft een APC onder de 2k, maar nagenoeg gratis voor armere instituten. Wat dan nog overblijft gaat naar de prof. org. (EGU).

Helemaal met je eens dat je betere dingen kan doen dan het aan Elsevier c.s. geven.
Maar wil wel een onderscheid maken tussen predatory publishers met absurde fees, en Open Access journals die alleen hun kosten verhalen, en vaak gelieerd zijn aan een professionele society.

Happy to report that my minisplit is gobbling up ~50+ degree days like it is nobody's business. Indoor temperature is steady, electricity usage scales perfectly - as long as I keep the unit snow&ice free.
The new roof & insulation also cut the heating cost by ~20% this winter!

This is a review of the 1985 camper that we renovated into an Airbnb.
Note how he says it was warm even though the temps were in the teens.
It has a 1 ton mini split.
It also has a really awful building shell, it’s poorly insulated and air sealed.
Heat pumps work just fine in the cold.

Update: -8F in the backyard, and heatpump kept the house in better shape than the oversized boiler did a few years ago.
It did become slightly less efficient (~10% or so), but I'm confident it can handle any winter Cleveland would get.

I once wanted to have my bike fixed and repair guy mentioned the "no-name brand bad tires" (schwalbes). I was *this* close to the doorstep when the shop owner saved me as a customer.
I mean, what other way exists to get in touch with Bill Gates?

When Aviva falls into a deep sleep, the Kratts learn about hibernation on their own.

www.pbs.org/video/wild-k... As usual, PBS (Kids!!) has you covered for key information about Groundhogs and their waking up process.
Isn't it more useful to look at the swing relative to 2020 in this case? That's when all the incumbents had their most recent election.
You wanted Greenland, Greenland you shall have.

Awarding a Nobel Peace Prize to Rutte would be hilarious, possibly deserved, and probably start WW3.
The roof was old, and we wanted solar panels (made it *just* under the Dec31 deadline..). So we replaced the roof, and got insulation under the roof, filled up the knee spaces, and did the basement rim joint for good measure.

Think of the potential for mishap if they install a full-scale sauna in there.

It does massively increase the chance of the perfect outcome for this season: Verstappen within 8 points of a World Championship, making the Russell crash in Spain the decisive factor.

Isn't this simply Trump aligning himself with the affordability movement - right after Schumer c.s. declined the opportunity?

Interesting to see that Dem supports remains roughly steady at ~45%, and that Rep support is going down from 43 to 41%. So is this mostly GOP disillusionment?

Gonna argue that every form you're filling out adds to the possibilities of finding/fabricating a mistake, thus facilitating the expulsion if need be. But I AM happy that I don't have to renew my green card anymore, especially between now and 2028.

Ja, en dit is al jaren zo. Klimaat is altijd belangrijk, maar nimmer urgent - op de tijdschaal van 1 kabinet (vroeger 4 jaar, nu 3.5 dagen)
Het stomme is natuurlijk dat het vroegah niet gepoliticeerd was, en dat het helemaal niet zo duur hoeft te wezen om flinke stappen te maken.
