Warm-up coming, but get your shovel

After another night of bitter cold, the Tristate can expect warmer weather ahead — as well as snow.
Between Jan. 21 and Thursday, daily temperatures fell below zero four times, including minus 5 degrees at 8:38 a.m. Thursday. And it dropped to zero this morning.
But Tristate residents will get a break soon. Temperatures tonight should remain on the positive side of the thermometer. And temperatures could reach into the 30s Saturday.
“It's certainly not going to be balmy,” he said. “But it's warmer.”
But with the warmer weather comes the likelihood of snow. The Tristate can expect to see some begin falling by Saturday night, he said, with a possibility of snow Sunday as well. He said it was too early to estimate just how much may fall.
The past week, subzero temperatures — more than snow — have caused problems.
One place where the cold is hitting people is the pocketbook. Natural gas usage increased the past few days to feed area furnaces, said Kathy Meinke, spokeswoman for Cinergy Corp.
