LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

Over the next 3 days, it will remain cold with winds from the E. or S.E. fresh, force 4 at times.  The weather will be less settled, with much less sunshine than we have been used to, though amounts of rain or sleet are expected to be small. Some snow will fall on higher ground, with perhaps an odd snow shower to lower levels, though with no significant accumulation.  Most nights will have a slight frost.   SPRING IS ON HOLD FOR THE TIME BEING!!
