After experiencing
the worst blizzard in recent memory, the DeKalb area will be
getting a break, temperature-wise.
NIU staff
meteorologist <a href="http://weather.admin.niu.edu/" target="

start to warm up slightly.
“We’ll get warmer
this weekend, with highs around 30 degrees on Sunday,” Sebenste
said. “But our temperatures will stay below average through the
next 10 days.”
As for the snow,
Sebenste said there might be more on the way.
“Not much this
weekend, maybe up to another inch,” Sebenste said. “Next week,
there will be more snow, but it is impossible to tell how much will
fall in this very dynamic weather pattern.”
With the more than
18 inches of snow that fell on Tuesday, Sebenste said that it might
take a while before it all melts away.
“I don’t know how
long it will take, but the medium-range forecast is for
temperatures to only hit 32 degrees once over the next week,”
Sebenste said. “So it is safe to say that it won’t be
soon.”
