Finally, Warmer Weather Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Finally, Warmer Weather Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

It finally looks like we may be getting a much needed warmup.  Temps next week are expected to be in the 30s and could even reach into the 40s.  That will feel absolutely balmy after what we have had.  Today, however, will remain in the deep freeze . . . . . one last day.  This morning is sunny.  There was no precipitation yesterday and our snow cover remains at around 3.5 – 4 inches.  That should be gone next week.  I realize that it is much too early for expectations of no more snow,  but I’m really hoping for no more polar vortexes.  Am I asking too much?
