Daily Five: First Frost of Fall May Be Friday

1.  Today is Friday, Oct. 12. The National Weather Service has issued a ‘freeze watch’ for Northern New London County. The frost may not extend to Groton, but it's close, and low temps could kill plants and other sensitive vegetation, so it might be a good idea to bring them in tonight. Today's forecast calls for a breeze, increasing clouds, a high temperature of 60, and isolated showers between noon and 3 p.m.

The low will fall to 33 degrees tonight, and could mean the first frost of fall.

2.  The Groton Board of Education will hold a speical meeting at 5 p.m. today in the school administration building to discuss pending claims and litigation regarding Superintendent Paul Kadri and the baseball field.
