Today's weather was beautiful! It was a warm upper teen to 20º heat wave. As the day went on it only got hotter. The wind was hardly present all day long and thus kept the wind chill to the same temperature as the regular air. It snowed today as well but not nearly as much as I had predicted originally. The light snow that we did receive was slushy due to the warmer conditions which make sidewalks slick throughout the day.

The forecast for today called for snow almost all day long, which didn't occur. Instead, we received overcast skies and high temperatures all day. It will get cooler tonight but there is a decent chance that snow may come back again tonight for a dusting.

My predictions from the previous day were fairly accurate, however Wisconsin didn't receive nearly as much snow as I had thought. It was overcast and warm throughout the daylight hours though. It was quite the experience to watch the low pressure move into our area and with it cloudy conditions.

Image 3: The image above shows the surface winds in the Midwest. There is still a low pressure system above us. This is apparent because of the counterclockwise motion of the winds.

I predict that tomorrow will be much like today. It will most likely snow even more as yet another low pressure system slides into our area. The temperatures should stay in the 20s even though the official forecast says that it will be 30º. I think that there won't be much wind either because of the low pressure. Image 3 above shows the counterclockwise motion of the surface winds which indicates low pressure. Break those boots out again for more snow tomorrow!
