Beautiful day...freezing temps!!! (2/2/2011)

The weather today is nothing close to what I predicted yesterday!  Hopefully I get better at that sooner than later! :) The temperature today is right around 5 degrees, but with the windchill it's more like -10.  Not the greatest day to walk to class, or go anywhere for that matter!  But the sun is out, and therefore we have the illusion of a beautiful day... until we step outside! 

The wind today is straight out of the west, right around 10-15 mph.  This wind is steadily pushing that huge snow system around southern Wisconsin to the east.  Looking at a map on weather.com, there is a huge dip in the jet stream right around the northeastern part of the country, which is where the system that dumped two feet of snow on Chicago is currently located. 

I predict that tomorrow will be quite similar today, maybe a little colder, as there is still that cold wind blowing in our direction.
