Welcome Text

Welcome to my weather blog. Throughout the semester, I will be making daily updates (including corresponding photos and/or videos) about the weather occurring in the Eau Claire area. In addition, many photos and videos illustrating weather from other parts of the world that I find interesting will be included.

Cold Wind from the North

My prediction from yesterday was only about half right.  It did stop snowing early this morning, but it was much colder than yesterday.  As discussed in class this morning, this drop in temperature is a result of the same storm that brought us the snow.  As the center of the low-pressure system moved to the south of us today, this caused the wind to change from the northeast (direction while snowing) to north (current direction and direction during class this morning according to the flag on top of Schofield).  Wind strength was moderate.

I think the weather tomorrow will be very similar to today but even colder.  There should be no precipitation due to the current conditions in the area.
