It's Election Day and Normally this is where we would tell you to do your democratic duty and vote but let the weather guide you to your polling place or another day of hooky, if you choose. Skilling Central is hedging its bets on whether we'll have a 50-degree day while the normally pragmatic Accuweather has the mercury topping out at 51 today. Expect partly sunny skies throughout the day, chillier temps as we head into the evening and some showers (possibly mixed with snow) overnight and into Wednesday.

More snow is expected by Friday, the first day of spring. Do you wonder if Tom Skilling examines radar and weather patterns, forecasts more snow for the area then pulls out a nice bottle of single malt scotch from his desk, hisses a curse and drinks straight from the bottle?
