Today's Rant
Yes, it's true. Heavy, wet snow has been falling most of the day here in Eau Claire. Our borderline temperature has been riding the freezing point for the past 24 hours really, and overnight it got just cold enough to switch us from rain to snow. Strong winds from the north are becoming a factor as well. While I was out driving this morning, at times it was difficult to even see stoplights. We have a low pressure system centered off to our southeast, and everything just seems like it is standing still over Wisconsin. Several inches are already on the ground, and it continues to pile up. But with warmer weather on the way, this accumulation will be just a minor inconvenience.
Forecast for Tomorrow
If you don't like the weather today, then tomorrow is for you. Prevailing winds will be coming from the south, bringing our temperature back up. The low pressure impacting us today will be on its way out to the northeast, and high pressure will be moving in from the south. We should see some amount of sun tomorrow, although the clouds won't be completely gone, and temperatures should return to the 40's with any luck.
