Springtime weather in Western New York seems to be an endurance sport, of sorts, with frosty nights and temperatures that just don't seem to break the chill in the air.
This too shall pass.
Widespread frost and freeze conditions early Tuesday may be the last of the 'big chill' for the region, National Weather Service forecasters say, as temps hovered in the 30's and near freezing in many spots away from the lakes.
"Temperatures are going to remain below average for the rest of the week," NWS meteorologist Jim Mitchell tells WBEN. "But we don't see any more frost or freeze headlines anywhere in the near future anyways."

Midweek, we'll see periods of rain Tuesday night through Wednesday, with a few thunderstorms possible Wednesday afternoon and evening. The rain will become more widespread and soaking across the area late Tuesday through early Wednesday morning, forecasters say.
Showers become more scattered Thursday, with conditions remaining cool.
"The showers on Thursday will be not as widespread and tend to dry out later in the day for the Sabres game," Mitchell notes. "Still be pretty cool out there, with temps about 50 to 55, and maybe a few showers and maybe misty conditions around for the game."
When is the warmup?
"The long range outlook now does have above average temperatures by the beginning of this weekend to beyond to the next week to two weeks," Mitchell says. By late May, Mitchell adds, it's far less likely to get the much cooler conditions we've been experiencing across the region of late.
