The Great Thaw continues today under cloudy skies, but no rain. Temps will reach the mid-to-upper 40s as those mounds of plowed snow continue to drip away. Tonight, it'll be cooler, but still unseasonably mild as temps drop to the lower 40s. If you're thinking of playing hooky, however, we'd suggest waiting until tomorrow when temps will soar into the 60s and skies will be partly cloudy. There'll be some midweek rain, too, so we can look forward to a lot of salt and grime being washed away.
