18 Things to do this Weekend (Feb 12 – Feb 14)

image_pdfimage_print

While the good news for this weekend is that no substantial amounts of snow is forecasted to interfere with our plans to partake in the goings-on across the South Coast, the bad news is we’ll be experiencing some seriously frigid temperatures. Temperatures that will make Friday’s high of 25 degrees and low of 18 degrees look positively balmy. Saturday morning we’ll have a snow squall and temperatures will get as low as -2 degrees. Brrrr. Sunday we’ll have a high of 14 degrees and a low of 3 degrees. Not even to stop us from having fun, right? However, be sure to bundle up, perhaps break out those thermal underwear if you haven’t already!

As always, click on the title for more or detailed information on the event. Most of the events were pulled from our event calendar where you can find hundreds of local area events each month. The event calendar is FREE, so if you are a local business, and not taking advantage of FREE publicity, shame on you! Are you a local business and want to sponsor this high traffic, weekend guide?
