We aren't saying we're officially done with winter yet but our patience is running thin. And it's all because of the cold. The mercury today isn't expected to pass the 20 degree mark. Northwest winds are gusting up to 30 mph, pushing wind chills down to 10 below zero. The gray skies continue Thursday night's trend of light snow showers and icing your morning commutes. Overall, the forecast is what it is and what it is is a lot of "ugh."

We'll get a bit of a break in the cold this weekend thanks to the arrival of some snow then the temperatures sink right back into the frigid by Tuesday. Vacation cannot come soon enough.
