It’s 31 degrees under mostly cloudy skies at 4:15 PM at Leelanau Coffee Roasting in Glen Arbor. The record high for a March 3rd was a sweltering 64 in 1974, and all I can say is that I hope you weren’t the kid with their tongue stuck to the flagpole when we notched the record low of -30 in 1943! The forecast for today calls for temps right around 30 with flurries. Light snow and upper 20s overnight with southeast winds at 10-20+. We’ll see a mix of snow & rain early Friday with highs in the upper 30s. Snow returns Friday night and into Saturday with early highs Saturday in the low 30s before north winds ramp up and the mercury drops. Sun and 20s on Sunday. Is it just me, or is March the calendrical equivalent of a see-saw?
