Don’t get too comfortable — or think that Punxsutawney Phil got it all wrong.
Despite temperatures forecast to hover around the freezing mark through Thursday, winter hasn’t surrendered.
An Arctic front arrives by Friday night, and highs over the weekend and into early next week are expected to drop back to the teens and 20s, according to the National Weather Service.
The service says it’s too early for any specifics on that system, but a period of light snow and/or snow squalls are probable.
