[ Monday, Mar. 31, 2003 ]
March 2003 is definitely going out like a lion. Thanks to a sharp cold front that sliced through the area yesterday, State College and much of the Northeast are getting one last taste of winter. Today will be somewhat blustery, with winds dying down tonight. More precipitation will arrive towards midweek in the form of rain. The latter half of the week will feel more seasonable with high temperatures hovering around 60 degrees. Another chance for rain will arrive towards next weekend.
