Praise the Weather Gods, Rockford is Going to Warm Up This Weekend

Get ready to feel your fingers again.

It's been a long, rough winter in the Stateline. We've lost feeling in fingers, toes and earlobes.

We've slipped and skidded and slid down State street.

We've shoveled inches of snow... and ice off of our cars before heading to work.

And on top of all of that, the wind has been blowing at speeds we've only seen in movies.

But a warm up is legitimately on it's way.

Thanks to our buddy at WTVO, Candice King, we're very looking forward to Saturday.

And you know what, on the other side of town, WIFR's Mark Henderson is really making us wish the week away.

Catch Midday Michelle on 97 ZOK from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
