Today's Weather: Encouraging

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Mar 4, 2010 2:00PM

The days are getting a little longer and a little warmer...Spring is near. We can almost feel it: green grass underfoot, the sun actually warming us up, that little of trickle of sweat down our back that isn't generated by 3 layers of jackets. Soon, Spring. Soon. But, for today, we'll deal with highs in the upper 30s with more sunshine. Lows fall below freezing again tonight as they'll dip into the upper 20s. And we've already got an eye on the weekend when temps will reach the mid-to-upper 40s.
