Man this semester has had a quick start, maybe it's this weather blog giving me some structure to my days. As you have probably already noticed it is cold. Hate to say it but, "I told you so!" Did anyone notice the flurries of snow I called for this morning? Anyways currently in Eau Claire it is currently 17 degrees Fahrenheit, but due to N 16 mph winds and a windchill of 1 degree Fahrenheit it feels much colder. Now that feels more like a Wisconsin February day to me, not that I missed it.

The link above is a satellite image of water vapor in the atmosphere. It really easy to see the continental polar air mass moving from Canada down and across through Montana and the Dakotas, then making its way up through the Great Lakes region and the Northeastern U.S.. The continental air mass is what is bringing stronger and colder winds than we have had in the past few weeks. Don't blame the weatherman!
Currently the Eau Claire area has a moderately thick cover of Altocumulus Duplicatus clouds. Throughout the day these glads will clear way for the sun to shine. Other than that the only thing you should expect throughout the day and into tonight is dropping temperatures. The low tonight could drop slightly below zero so be prepared!
