More Sun, Blue Skies Help InsureRapid Melting of Mid-March Snow

The Lake Community's full-fledged sunshine puts today's forecasted high at 37 for the South End and a forecasted high of 38 for the North End. The 10:00 a.m. temperature at the Institute is 30 degrees (F). If yesterday was any measure of what temperatures could be at the Institute, we could be looking at another 60 degrees today with full sunshine, and consistent melting. This melting of the snow is particularly welcome since the overnight forecast is for more snow.
