Forecasters are not sure whether we’ll be hit with lots of snow or rain over the next 36 hours.

Forecasters are preducting temperatures in the 20s for much of the week — balmy weather, compared to the deep freeze we've had over the last few days. Even though things are warming up, January's bitter cold has me thinking of tropical beaches and palm trees. Wish you were at your favorite vacation spot this time of year? Share your photos of where you'd rather be.
