What else do you call it when the coldest January in 24 years comes to a close with temps twice what they were yesterday? Today under mostly cloudy skies, we'll see temps skyrocket to the mid 30's, maybe as high as 35 or 36. It'll be breezy, though, and that breeziness will continue into the night, when temps will drop to the upper 20s. More of the same tomorrow, but temps are going to drop sharply come Tuesday.
