Oh what a winter it’s been.  Our average high for this time of year is in the low to mid 50s, we hit that a few days early on this month and that’s it.  We’ve been well below average for most of the month.  I saw a sign over the weekend that pretty much sums it up, it said -  "missing: spring, if found please return to Mother Nature as soon as possible."

People were getting crabby…and rightfully so!

At this point I’d like to remind everyone that meteorologists are just the messengers. : )  Before anyone starts throwing tomatoes at their TV, I have good news…a significant warm-up is on the way.  Average temperatures and yes, even ABOVE average temperatures are in the forecast this week!  We’ll climb into the 50s, the 60s and by golly, I bet 70s are not too far behind!

Now that everyone is all ramped up about spring finally arriving, a little sour note.  Typically when we experience a cool, snowy spring…summers tend to be cooler as well.

Oh oh, here come the tomatoes…gotta go!

Enjoy the warm-up!
