I know the calendar says it's over, but winter has been pretty much unendingaround these parts. Last night, we got an inch of snow here in centralPennsylvania, and a little more will fall overnight. It will stay unreasonablycold right into the weekend. Boo, hiss! What I'd like see (and I am sure many others would too) is some of that niceweather that now covers the Southwestern part of the country. From SouthernCalifornia to Texas, it will almost be perfectly sunny Friday with highs in the80s. The Desert Southwest might actually get a bit too warm for comfort withtemperatures in the 90s Friday afternoon.Story by AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist John Kocet.
