Thaw ahead

Hold on to your fresh snow, Ripton friends and neighbors, because it looks like a thaw might be heading our way.

At this point, it looks like it will play out as follows: After Sunday’s light snow and a cold Monday, temperatures will rise into the 30s Tuesday and low 40s Wednesday before easing back into the 30s Thursday.

But that Wednesday warm interval would just be the opening salvo. At this point, it looks as if temperatures could get well into the 40s or even near 50 toward the end of the week or the weekend.

Wunderground sees temps rising to the 30s later this week.
