SEARCHING FOR THE POT OF GOLD?
On this day of leprechauns, four-leaf clovers, and
lucky charms, one legend claims that a pot of gold
exists at the end of the rainbow. Although no one
has ever found this treasure, no one has actually
reached the end of the rainbow either. That's
because a rainbow is actually composed of billions
of reflections of the sun off of raindrops. Just like
the reflection in a mirror changes when you move,
so will a rainbow, such that it will always appear
the same distance away.

REGIONAL FORECAST
The luck of the Irish will be with the residents of State College as beautiful con
ditions reign. Milder temperatures will prevail over the Commonwealth as high
pressure dominates over the region for St. Patrick's Day. Skies will remain
mostly clear until Saturday, when low pressure will bring a chance of snow or
rain showers late Saturday evening. By Sunday we will be encountering more
spring -like weather conditions with clearing skies and highs climbing into the
low fifties. Happy St. Patrick's Day and enjoy the weekend!
