It’s been a brilliant, warm fall, but the inexorable change of the seasons means that winter is nearly upon us. Sven Sundgaard of Bring Me The News says that southern Minnesota night see its first flurries this weekend. Further proof that the weather is about to change is that Minneapolis announced its Winterapolis event, which will begin on Nov. 28. The idea is to transform our largest city into “America’s Winter City,” according to organizers quoted in WCCO News. This event will replace Holidazzle as the city’s marquee winter celebration. If you’re looking for election results from Tuesday’s elections, the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon has comprehensive, searchable database with the latest updates. Medicare Advantage patients will still be covered by Fairview and UnitedHealthcare, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. The one-year deal overcomes a “contract impasse that could have blocked access to the health system for about 33,000 Medicare Advantage beneficiaries next year.” Minnesotans who purchase health insurance using the Affordable Care Act can expect to pay an average of 21.5% more in 2026, according to KSTP. “The expected increase comes as ACA subsidies, or tax credits, are set to expire at the end of the year.”
