Bill Steffen's weekend forecast: Feb. 27-March 1

• No 60-degree days are in the weekend forecast, but there will be a 50-degree day (Friday!). With the help of a brisk south-southwest wind, the temperatures should reach the low 50s inland (low 40s where the wind comes off Lake Michigan). The wind could increase to 20 mph in the afternoon.
• One more shot of Canadian cold air arrives over the weekend. That system will likely bring some snow Saturday afternoon or evening … nothing major, maybe an inch or two at the most. However, that could bring a period of slippery roads.
• If you like to hit the ski resort one more time, this weekend is the time to do that — or anytime through the middle of next week. After that, it gets warm and wet.
• Sunday looks chilly. You may have heard the old folklore that if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb and vice versa. Well, looks like this year, March will come in like a polar bear or maybe a lamb in red flannel. This shot of cold air will move into New England and New York, and record low temperatures are possible.

By the way, the town of Herman in the Upper Peninsula reported a 55-inch snow cover on Tuesday evening. That’s more than 4.5 feet! They are up to 270 inches for the winter.
