DETROIT – Welcome to Friday evening, Motown!
The calmest weather of the month is here for the weekend and, at least, the next five to seven days. That does not mean it will not be cold. We will still need our coat, hats, scarves and gloves as well as our masks.
Thankfully, Mother Nature helps Detroiters get the car washed, catch up on outdoor chores and do more holiday decorating for a good stretch of time.
