Columbia Braces for Wintry Weather and a Heartwarming Valentine’s Surprise!
Hey Columbia! Are you ready for a bit of a chilly shake-up this weekend? It’s looking like we might just get a wintry mix that could bring some surprises. The forecast says we can expect rain showers early in the day, followed by a blanket of overcast skies. The high temperature will sit around a cozy 52°F, with gentle southwest winds blowing through at 5 to 10 mph. However, don’t get too comfortable just yet, as there’s a 90% chance of rain throughout the day!
If you’re planning anything outdoors, make sure to pack an umbrella and a warm jacket because by the evening, temperatures are expected to drop to a cool 36°F. The winds will shift to the west-southwest but will still keep it mild at about 5 to 10 mph. So, grab your favorite hot drink and keep an eye on the skies!
Valentine’s Day Delight on the Way!
Now in addition to the wintry weather, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and the Columbia Fireflies have something special in store to warm your hearts! They’ve launched a unique delivery service that’s sure to make your Valentine’s Day celebrations extra special. The charming Mason will be dressed as Cupid, delivering a lovely surprise package to fans within 20 miles of Segra Park!
So, what can you expect in this wonderful Valentine’s package? How about a cuddly Fireflies stuffed bear, a delightful mug, a bouquet of beautiful flowers, and two tickets to the season opener? Yep, you heard that right! You’ll also find $20 of loaded value included, perfect for some indulgence at the Mason Jar Team Store or concession stands. All of this cherished merchandise can be yours for $95, and it promises to bring joy whether you’re celebrating with a special someone or simply treating yourself.
Delivery is available on February 13 and 14, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., so you can enjoy this heartfelt surprise right at your doorstep. Just a heads up though—orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t wait around if you want to snag one of these limited packages!

Winter Weather Hits the Midlands!
With temperatures falling 10 to 15°F below normal, Columbia will be feeling a bit brisk, hovering in the 40s leading up to the storm. Fun fact: the last measurable snowfall we had was back in January 2022, with previous snowdays stretching back to 2017! After all the winter fun this Saturday, it seems that we might just return to dry and chilly conditions.
So, Columbia, with wintry weather and delightful surprises on the horizon, make sure you’re prepared for both. Whether you’re cozying up indoors with a mug of hot cocoa or celebrating Valentine’s Day with a unique gift from the Fireflies, there’s plenty to keep our spirits high this weekend!
