🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 32 degrees, low of 24 degrees. Looks like old man winter is still hanging around Bloomington, bringing some flurries and snow our way today. β˜ƒοΈ But hey, that just means more reasons to cozy up with a warm drink and enjoy the wintry scene outside your window. We’re starting off with some scattered flurries, and it’s gonna be cloudy with a high near 32. So, if you’re heading out this morning, you might want to grab that extra layer to stay toasty. πŸ§₯ And keep an eye out for those flurries dancing around. ❄️ As we move into the afternoon, there’s a chance of snow or more flurries after 5 am. It’s like winter just can’t make up its mind, right? πŸ˜„ The temperature will be hovering around 32, with a gentle west-southwest wind keeping things chilly. Tonight, expect the snow to continue, with a low around 24. Make sure to tuck yourself in snug and warm, maybe with a hot cocoa in hand. β˜•οΈ And if you’re a fan of the snow, tomorrow looks like we might get 1 to 2 inches of new snow accumulation. So get those snow boots ready! 🌨️ Remember, Bloomington, embrace the winter wonderland outside your door, and stay safe and warm. Whether you’re cozying up at home or braving the elements, take it slow and enjoy the beauty of our Bloomington winter. Until next time, stay warm and take care of each other, neighbors! 🌟
