[ Monday, Apr. 7, 2003 ]
Winter and Spring are still fighting it out over the Northeast as a major "winter" storm makes its way over Pennsylvania. Snow will be heavy at times today through the early afternoon, and then become mixed with sleet and freezing drizzle later. Easterly winds of 10 to 15 mph will persist throughout the day. Light snow and freezing drizzle will linger tonight, while the possibility of snow or rain remains through the middle of the week. Temperatures will then rise to seasonable levels as the weekend approaches.
