Snow? Yes, snow. You thought we were scot-free, didn’t you? While daily temperatures are on the rise, evenings and mornings are still cold – cold enough to snow. That will be the case Friday and Saturday: snow in the afternoon and snow in the morning, respectively. Don’t fret – we’re only getting from 1-3 inches total. In a Winter were snowfall amounts were often measured in feet, this is a dusting! So, head on out to the South Coast and beyond and enjoy the many happenings!
