Just last week, a groundhog poked his head out of the ground, saw no shadow, and predicted an early beginning to spring. Finally, an end to the brutal cold, massive amounts of snow and gray skies. Not so fast. There are a couple of things to discuss about this week’s weather. The first weather disturbance will arrive on Monday night into Tuesday bringing light rain, snow and possibly some sleet. This will not amount to much though, giving you and your snow shovel some much needed rest. Temperatures will then struggle to rise above the freezing mark throughout the remainder of the week. …
