Today's Weather: Bump Ahead

We've gotten irrational at the snow that fell in March but what about the cold? Tom Skilling said in his 5 p.m. weather forecast Tuesday this is the coldest start to March in Chicago since 1960. (Never mind we're six days from April.) That would personally make me more irate than the snow; we should be in windbreakers right now.
Hopefully today's forecast sets the stage for that. Skilling Central is calling for a high near 40 degrees. That's still 10 degrees below normal but 12 degrees higher than yesterday's scorching 28-degree high. We will have ample sunshine to kick off the day but clouds will arrive in the afternoon bringing with them showers beginning overnight and continuing into Thursday, where the mercury will climb higher.
It isn't the spring day many of you would want but it sure as hell ain't Chiberia.
