Today is Winter's Season Finale and we couldn't be happier to see it go. Sure, if history teaches us anything we'll still have snow and cold temps into mid-April, but it's more about the psychology of the whole thing. Winter is done as of tomorrow and Spring will be here. Even if it doesn't feel like it. Today, the cool air continues to settle with highs in the lower-to-mid 40s but sunny skies overhead. Things will be downright chilly again tonight with lows in the upper 20s...but it wasn't too long ago those counted as highs. A storm system is on its way and will bring us warmth and rain next week.
