• Thank you very much to the Groton Area Chamber of Commerce and the merchants for sponsoring the Shop Groton Promotion.  I was the lucky shopper who won the $100 in Chamber Bucks.  One of the reasons I shop is Groton is for their variety of stores and great customer service.
• Groton is a great place to live and shop and as an Andover resident I shop in Groton all the time. Thank you.

• 1994: A low pressure system traveled from the Dakotas, across southern Minnesota and to the Great Lakes Region, from the late morning of the 5th, through the early evening of the 7th. By the early evening hours on the 7th, up to three and one-half feet of snow had fell along the higher terrain of Lake Superior. The storm also produced heavy snow across parts of central Minnesota. Six inches or more occurred across much of central Minnesota. In west central Minnesota, Wheaton and Artichoke Lake received 5 inches, with 6 inches at Browns Valley.
• 1974: The warmest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was 59F at Vanda Station on the Scott Coast.
