🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 31°F | Low: 28°F
Looks like Mother Nature is doing a little dance with the snowflakes today here in our cozy corner of Bloomington! 🌨️❄️ As I peek out the window, I'm seeing those fluffy flakes swirling around, giving our town a lovely winter wonderland vibe.
So, here's the scoop: we're starting off with some isolated snow showers, keeping things nice and cool with a high near 31. A gentle west-southwest wind is whispering at around 5 mph, adding a touch of winter chill to the air.
Now, as we head into the evening, those snowflakes might pick up their pace a bit. After 7pm, we can expect more snow, with a calm wind turning east and picking up to about 6 mph after midnight. Don't be surprised if we end up with 3 to 5 inches of that beautiful white stuff by tomorrow morning. ❄️☃️
Tomorrow, we'll see a mix of snow and flurries dancing around town before giving way to mostly cloudy skies. The high near 36 will make it feel just a tad warmer, and that east-northeast wind will be around 5 mph, eventually switching to a gentle northwest breeze in the afternoon.
So, if you're heading out and about today, grab that cozy scarf and mittens, and maybe a sled for some snowy fun later on! And hey, if you're in the mood for some comfort food, how about ordering from Pizza X to warm up or savoring a hearty meal at The Owlery Restaurant? 🍕🌱
Stay warm, Bloomington friends, and enjoy the winter magic outside your windows! 🌟🌨️🏡
