rechannel all the energy which
they expended in producing “Raz

around the emergence of an Irish
leprechaun from a mammouth gin

Chilling Weather
To Continue Today
Temperatures continued well
below normal from the Rockies
eastward to the coast yesterday,
and little change in this thermal
pattern is expected for several
days.
A storm moving toward the
Commonwealth from the west is
expected to bring occasional rain
to the state tonight and
row morning. .
The bulk of the precipitation
associated with the storm should
have ended by gametime tomor

snow flurries together with cold
gusty winds should create chilly
conditions in the stands.
Today should be mostly cloudy
with a high of 48 degrees. A low
of 42 is seen for tonight, and a
high of 46 is likely tomorrow.
