Winter temperatures are lingering for the next few days with highs near –10, with seasonal temperatures around the corner. 

“Seasonal for this time of year would be daytime highs around three degrees, overnight lows of –7. So we’re still in the spring transitional period where you could get flurries, rain showers, it could go both ways,” said Charbonneau.
