Wednesday chance of snow highs around 30 degrees …
Thursday through Sunday sun and clouds temps in low to mid 20’s with night time lows in the single digits to teens .. Saturday snow threat / then very cold Sunday high 21 degrees …

So winter is back with only 24 days left till spring , March is actually looking to be a very cold and potentially snowy stormy month .. 10-15 degrees below the monthly average .. And plenty of chances for frozen precip events …
So hang in there for a 3-4 more weeks .. Then hopefully will have “SPRING” like weather… Thanks for reading … I’ll have more on Wednesday’s snow threat Tuesday morning …Have a wonderful day ..

As of last nights forecast , this event for midday into early evening looks very minor with nuisance snows 1-2″ inches for our viewing area .. Storm is weak and most moisture remains to our North ! Se winds will limit snow amounts . And make it tough to stick on roadways . Even a mix or change to rain is possible , so again no big event ! More weather on Wednesday .. Have a great Tuesday … Thanks for reading …
