Hey Neighbors!
It's been cold this last week with more snow than expected over the weekend. The snow has come and gone but the winter sports have suffered with sledding and ice skating becoming increasingly difficult with the intermittent temperatures. A few small rinks have opened and closed again rather quickly but ponds have hardly been safe this year.
Look out for clouds and cold with lows dipping in the single digits over the weekend. The temperatures warm up to 40s and 50s in the coming mid week with a low percentage of rain possible on Thursday.
The days are lengthening and Spring is coming! The sun will set around 6:00 PM soon and that is exciting to many but don't forget Daylight Savings Time is coming up on March 10th!
