LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK
Remaining very cold, though winds generally not as strong. Some snow showers around, with mainly cloudy skies, but snow accumulations generally small & without drifting at normal altitudes. Overnight frosts. No prospects of anything milder this side of Easter! Looks like ending up as one of the coldest March months ever, in contrast to last year--which was one of the warmest. Isn't our weather becoming even more variable than ever?
