Today's Weather: Climbing

By Chuck Sudo in News on Feb 12, 2014 2:00PM

Where's this supposed warmup, you may be asking this morning? It's coming. All good things come to those who wait and, if you're the optimistic type, the thaw is already starting as the mercury readings are above zero as you head to work today. The temperatures will climb into the mid-20s this afternoon but we will not see a lick of sunshine, judging from the cloud cover above us today. Skilling Central predicts some snow to arrive later today and this evening, which we should be numb to by now, and the extended forecast has highs hovering between the mid- to upper 20s and just above freezing before premature shorts weather arrives next week.

Grit your teeth and carry on, folks. It will get better.
