๐ BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 21ยฐF | Low: 2ยฐF
Oh, hey there, neighbor! Hope you're cozy with a warm cuppa on this brisk Bloomington morning. Just peeked at the weather app while admiring the old limestone facades downtownโlooks like we're in for a partly sunny day with a high near 21. Not too shabby, right?
If you're out and about, a light jacket might be the ticket as our friend, the north northeast wind, is blowing around 6 mph. But hey, that breeze adds a little zip to the air, doesn't it? And after lunch, you might want to tuck an umbrella in your bag just in case those scattered flurries swing by.
Tonight, as the sky darkens over our beloved Rainbow Bakery, expect mostly cloudy skies and a low around 2. ๐๐ฉ And oh, those wind chill values might dip as low as -6, so maybe an extra blanket on the bed won't hurt.
Tomorrow morning, Hopscotch Coffee might be calling your name as we wake up to isolated snow showers before 11 am, followed by scattered flurries until around 1 pm. Sounds like a perfect excuse to linger over a steaming cup of joe, right? The high tomorrow will be near 18, but with the wind chill, it might feel like a porch-sitting evening, even though it's still early January.
So, keep an eye out for those swirling snowflakes and enjoy the cozy charm of our winter wonderland in Bloomington. Whether you're headed to Pizza X for a slice or The Tap for some local craft brews, embrace the chilly embrace of winter and stay warm, my friend! ๐๐ป๐ฆ๏ธ
