Today's Weather: Thaw

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Feb 7, 2009 4:30PM

Yes, we know what the calendar says and yes, we realize this thaw will last a few days and we'll return to those freezing temps eventually...but for now? Bliss. Sweet, sweet bliss. Today will be positively June-like with clear, sunny skies and highs in the lower 50s. Be careful tonight, thought. While today's warmth will melt a whole helluva lot of snow, tonight's temps will drop to the upper 20s, causing some refreeze. It'll be a bit cooler tomorrow before it warms again to start the week. Get outside and enjoy today, just wear some boots. 2009_02_07_weather.jpg
