Two bridges. What was I thinking?

On my walk in to school this morning, I decided to take a different route so I could take a picture for the blog.  This new route required me to not only cross the UWEC footbridge, but also the Water Street/Summit Avenue bridge.  It has been a while since I've had to walk across either one of these bridges during the winter.  Needless to say, I received a rude awakening.

The weather for today was right along the lines of what I had predicted.  A clear, blue sky allowed the sun to shine through all day.  A very light to light SW/WSW wind blew for most of the day.  However, there are currently calm conditions concerning wind.  The temperature was a little warmer today overall compared to yesterday.

The temperature should continue to rise tomorrow.  The current high-pressure system influencing our weather is beginning to weaken, which means that we should start experiencing some changes.  In addition to the increase in temperature, the cloud cover should increase as well.  With minimal water vapor in the atmosphere, precipitation will be unlikely.

has settled in along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains.

exactly sure how to read this map, but I did notice that the dip
in the jet stream and color change is consistent with the location
of the high-pressure system.
