Hilltop weather and a seasonal business

Hilltop weather, in normals: July highs around 83°F, January lows around 8°F, measured at Lower St. Anthony Falls, 5.2 miles away (1991-2020). About 34 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 18 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 147 days. Winter changes what people need: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, landscaping and outdoor work the rest of the year. A website that changes with the season helps: winter hours, summer specials, storm-season notices, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

Before you publish: Minnesota and federal rules

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Minnesota rules as any other.

• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
