Today's cold will moderate going into a period of overrunning snow tomorrow. The snow should reach most areas tomorrow morning after dawn. Areas to the west may see 3-5" of snow with areas to the east (in the city and along the lake) may only see an inch or two.

Beyond the snow temps will continue to moderate. By Friday we may be looking at 50F. And there are no additional cold air outbreaks in the horizon in February.

And speaking of 50 degrees it would be right on time. We're 10 days from the average date of our first 50 degree temp, 23 days to 60, and 38 days to 70.

We'd already added an hour and a half of daylight (the next sunset after 5:00 will be in November) and at this higher sun angle the sunny days will start to feel much warmer. The spring equinox is just over a month away.
