March 4th is the 153rd anniversary of the birth of British zoologist Reginald Innes (R. I.) Pocock, whose name definitely sounds like the punchline of a Bart Simpson prank call.

Anywho, this little storm is going to be our last real tangle with Old Man Winter.

What to expect:

Thursday 3/3 is sunny and cold, but with much calmer winds.  High in the mid to upper 30s.  Snow showers roll in starting around 10 or 11pm.  Snow on and off throughout the night.  Temperatures hold steady just below freezing, so most of the accumulation should be on grassy and unpaved surfaces.  Still, watch for slippery roadways.

Friday 3/4 will begin with snow showers making the morning commute a bit hazardous; snow ends toward noon.  There may be a lingering snow shower or two in the afternoon (or a flurry), but that's it.  High in the upper 30s, low in the lower 20s.

Chance of delay Friday: 29%

Chance of cancellation Friday: 17%

Saturday 3/5 will be partly sunny, but clouding up toward evening.  There could even be a snow shower or two on Saturday night.  High in the mid 40s.

Sunday 3/6 looks overcast with temperatures rising toward 50.

Monday 3/7 (Wanda Sykes' birthday), upper 50s.

Tuesday 3/8 (Micky Dolenz' birthday), upper 60s!

Wednesday 3/9 (Emmanuel Lewis' birthday) and Thursday 3/10 (Chuck Norris' birthday), 70s!!  

Then we get back to normal (highs in the 50s), but no more snow.
