It’s About Time That Spring Wakes Up From Hibernation

Posted on
A warmer look this morning compared to yesterday morning as temperatures this morning are ~10+ degrees warmer than yesterday. The warming trend will continue into the weekend and early next week. Ice jam flooding concerns continue with Oil Creek as these temperatures rise to above freezing, helping to thaw out the ice. Mainly dry conditions will persist into the weekend with some sunshine! Enjoy it folks!
