After two days of freezing temperatures, the mercury will rise Thursday to about 41 degrees, still too cold to run outside in your bathing suit but much better than it has been earlier this week.
Many employers let their workers stay home for a second consecutive day as roads in some parts of town remained ice-covered. The National Weather Service said warned commuters that if they had to drive, be careful.
“Due to snowfall that has occurred, roads will remain icy and treacherous as temperatures remain below freezing the remainder of today through Thursday morning.”
Going into Friday and the weekend, things are going to warm considerably. A high of 70 degrees is forecast for Sunday.
