Is that the Sun I see?

It seems as if we haven't seen any sunshine for at least the last five days or so. It's been one storm system after another, passing across Connecticut bringing us rain, sleet, freezing rain--what The Weather Channel likes to call a "wintry mix."

We may actually get a short-lived break from the dreary weather on Friday afternoon. There might be a bit of sunshine, and clear skies on Friday night before another round of clouds and wintry precipitation moves in for later Saturday and into a bit of Sunday as well. Climatologically speaking, we should now be coming out of the depths of winter as the days grow longer and the temperatures begin their slow climb. But, as I've pointed out before, there's still plenty of winter to get through before we can dream of days on the beach.

The biggest question plaguing us these days, however, is this...who's not telling the truth, Roger Clemens, or his former trainer, Brian McNamee? We report, you decide. Meanwhile, there's just seven days until Spring Training begins. Now for me, that's when winter really ends.
