Although there were no record high temperatures set in the Pioneer Valley on Monday when the temperatures spiked to the middle 50′s, it was nice to at least feel a little taste of spring before the winter season comes rushing back into New England.  The next bout of snowfall slated for the first part of Wednesday won’t be enough to cause any major headaches, it will likely be just enough to produce a few slippery spots for the morning commute.  Most areas will see about 2-4 or 3-5 inches of new snow before the day comes to a close tomorrow and that in turn will lead to a fairly quiet weather pattern through the end of the weekend and weekend.  There are some signs early next week a second shot of cold air will keep the temperatures below normal for the first part of next week.
