However, hopes of thawing out are for not, as the weather forecast headed into next week doesn't look much better.
Tomorrow's Indians Home Opener is predicted to include high winds, potential rain and/or snow along with and spirit-ravaging 40-degree temperatures, according to National Weather Service Cleveland. While snow-outs are rare for the Indians, occurring in 1996 and 2007, with Ohio weather anything is possible.
On top of this, Indians head groundskeeper recently said in a press conference that getting Progressive Field ready for the season has been the most challenging in 25 years, thanks to flip-flopping weather.
As far as we know, the show will go on tomorrow as planned. But that doesn't mean Clevelanders are appreciative of the forecast, naturally accompanied by rain. Here are some of our favorite weather comments from Twitter:
Growing up Catholic makes it easier to deal with Cleveland weather because you can look outside and say, "Oh I probably did something to deserve this"

Every year we complain about the weather in Ohio and hope that the next year is better. Just like being a Cleveland Browns fan...
