Moisturize, wear layers and suck it up today. Today and Thursday are reminders of the cold we endured in February with another round of polar air set to drop overnight temps to the wrong side of the zero degree mark.

Not that things will be much warmer today. Currently, there's a nice breeze from the west blowing that would be pleasant if the mercury readings were about 40-50 degrees higher. As it is, that wind had us cursing and grasping for a balaclava. The good thing is the sun is out and, as we inch closer to spring, there is light earlier and later in the day. It's a far cry from 4:30 p.m. sunsets.
