Upstate NY police department fed up with snow, charges winter with loitering

If you've had enough of this apparently-endless winter, you're not alone. One Upstate New York police department has officially placed the entire season under arrest.

Police in Depew shared the tongue in cheek arrest on Facebook on Friday, announcing, "Dear Winter, you are hereby placed under arrest," and calling for the arrest of Punxsutawney Phil for predicting six more weeks of winter.

Parts of Upstate NY have continued to see bitter cold and even snow into the first week of April. Chilling high winds also lashed parts of the region, leaving tens of thousands without power last week.

There's good news on the horizon though. The latest forecasts show a slow, rainy step towards more normal, warmer spring weather starting this week.
