Early Thaw Doesn't Mean Winter's Gone

Mon 3/8/10 7:15PM

The entire U.P. enjoyed unusually warm, beautiful weather this weekend.
But will it last for long, and is winter already over?
Temperatures in the 50s are melting snow and starting to expose some green grass.
Matt Zika of the National Weather Service says we can expect to have temperatures like this throughout the week -- well above normal for early-to-mid-March.
But this doesn't mean winter is done.
Zika says we could still see some snowfall before spring is in full bloom.
Temperatures are likely to dip back into the 30s by the end of the week but may return to the 40s by Sunday.
