It's cold. We've got more snow is in the forecast. Winter will hang around for several more weeks.
Here is a warming thought: the Brewers play today.
Oakland will visit Maryvale Baseball Park this afternoon in the Cactus League opener in Phoenix, where the temperature is 75 degrees.
The first pitch is at 2 p.m. and Brewers TV announcers Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder will call the action in a Webcast available at brewers.com.
