Our winds are still relatively calm and are forecast to come out of the WSW so MAYBE they will be a bit warmer?

The earlier forecast was for us to be, at the warmest, -3, but now we appear to be on our way to a whopping 1 or 2.

However, then the warm up begins. 4 on Thursday, 17 on Friday, 36 on Saturday, 44 on Sunday and 47 on Monday. The warm stretch has actually increased by a good 2 days. And, best of all, it appears there's barely a chance of snow. That's important because they still haven't cleared the street in my subdivision. I'm really not looking forward to digging through the snow dam the plow truck will eventually push up the end of my driveway.
