28 / 18 dusting of snow overnight. 4 days above normal and 4 near to below over the next 8 with about 1 - 1.5 inches of precip falling. We'll see how much can be of the frozen variery. Deep cold nearby north and west with the southern areas very springlike and warm. Should be a very interesting period with many pieces of energy and systems to track so if one goes wet there should be several others to track for ice/white. Coffee or Espresso your choice but its looking like one of those periods of tracking.
