It's okay to feel anxious today and look ahead to Friday, everyone. We have one more day of chilly weather before we get temperatures that are actually normal for this time of year. Today's forecast calls for high near freezing and Skilling Central is even predicting "extensive morning cloudiness, possibly a few passing flurries." Accuweather's hieroglyphics has us in store for mostly sunny skies today.

Regardless, everyone should be looking forward to Friday when the mercury is finally expected to cross the 40 degree mark. The extended forecast is the equivalent of your car's engine trying to turn over in this weather with up and down temps ranging from the mid-30s Saturday to the mid-50s by next Friday. And what we need is more weather like the latter to curb stomp Chiberia.
