Spring: Not coming to a city near you anytime soon.

Spring just can’t seem to take hold this year. The forecast for the next 24 hours or so is quite bleak:

In other words, light freezing rain, which should be done by now, light drizzle, swirly gusty winds with snow starting overnight and then changing to light freezing rain and light ice pellets, a combination often known as sleet, with a 30% change of that turning into snow. You know, because we haven’t had enough snow this winter.

I’m seriously hating the weather.
