Freezing Temperatures Almost Certain to Return

I keep running into a familiar question these unusually warm days: "Do you think we'll get below freezing again this spring?" My answer to that is, "Yes!" I am almost certain of that.

We must keep in mind that our *average* low is still below freezing at 29 degrees, and our record low for March 19th is -9! Based on the way the weather pattern looks over the next 10 days, I doubt we'll see any record lows and it is possible we'll escape freezing temperatures during this period. However, Rockford's average last freeze is April 28th and our earliest last freeze is April 7th -- almost three weeks from now! Here's more on this subject from the National Weather Service.
