Don\u2019t get too comfortable \u2014 or think that Punxsutawney Phil got it all wrong.<\/p>\n
Despite temperatures forecast to hover around the freezing mark through Thursday, winter hasn\u2019t surrendered.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The service says it\u2019s too early for any specifics on that system, but a period of light snow and\/or snow squalls are probable.<\/p>\n
