The only consolation is that yesterday was beautiful, a sweatshirt day! Harbinger of better days to come! Today though, just more of the same of this f'd up winter:

Tuesday
HIGH/LOW
44°/30°
http://tv.trb.com/includes/tvdata/wgntv/weather/icons/cloudy.jpg
One of this winter's stronger storm threatens, starting late Tuesday evening with the onset of cold rain or a rain/sleet mix.
A shift to heavy wet snow follows. Tuesday's rush hours shouldn't be affected, but the blustery storm will impact overnight travel, particularly as precipitation shifts to all snow late Tuesday night.---Extensive cloudiness. Strengthening northeast winds Tuesday afternoon will send temperatures lower.--Readings, which may reach the 40s for a time Tuesday morning, fall to the low and mid 30s in the afternoon/evening.---Cold rain, possible sleet, develops this evening changing to wet snow within an hour or two of midnight in the city -- sooner northwest and west.--Heavy, wind-blown snow the remainder of the night with possible embedded thunder and lightning late. Northeast winds increase 14 to 32 mph and gusty.--Accumulations of 4 to 8" possible toward morning -- but local 10" totals are possible in areas, especially beneath intense, thundery bursts of snowfall.
Wednesday
HIGH/LOW
30°/13°
http://tv.trb.com/includes/tvdata/wgntv/weather/icons/snow.jpg
Quite windy. Snow into morning tapers to far lighter and more occasional lake-effect flurries or possible snow showers affecting counties adjacent to Lake Michigan beneath extensive cloudiness.
Little additional accumulation after mid-morning. Widespread 6 to 8 inch final storm tallies but locally as much as 10" in areas affected by thundery overnight snowbursts. Northerly winds gradually become more northwest 14 to 30 mph and gusty, slowly easing in the afternoon. Cloud scatter, colder Wednesday night. Lows ranging from high single digits inland to the teens in the city.
