Schuylkill County has a strong Irish heritage and typically people speak of the luck of the Irish.
But that clearly doesn’t apply to the weather forecast, at least not this year.
On this St. Patrick’s Day, we’re most certainly unlucky, especially if you were hoping we’d maintain those beautiful late-Spring feelings we had last week.
In fact, this week, it will feel the complete opposite of how it did last week. There’s even a slight chance of snow showers one day this coming week.
