So far, the winter of 2024/2025 has been pretty mild.

We've had above average temperatures and almost no snowfall.  Yeah, we had a few inches just before Christmas, but that was about it.

It's definitely not shorts and a t-shirt weather, but most people can get by with jeans, a fleece, and sneakers.

It looks like that may be about to change.

After a mild Saturday that will feature temperatures in the mid-40s and rain, a Sunday blast of arctic air will cause temperatures to nosedive.
