🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 28°F | Low: -1°F
Looks like we're in for a snowy day, Bloomington! ⛄❄️ You might want to grab your cozy winter gear and maybe a sled if you're feeling adventurous. After all, what's winter without a little fun in the snow, right?
The National Weather Service is calling for snow, starting around 10 am. And hey, it might come down pretty heavy at times, so be prepared for a winter wonderland outside your window. The temperature is going to dip to around 20 degrees by late afternoon, with a gentle west wind blowing through town.
We could see about 2 to 4 inches of the fluffy white stuff piling up during the day. So get ready to build some snowmen or maybe have a friendly snowball fight with your neighbors. Mother Nature is providing the perfect setting for some winter magic!
As we head into the evening, the snow will likely continue, but it should start tapering off around 9 pm. The clouds will gradually part ways to reveal some twinkling stars above, with temperatures dropping to a chilly -1. Brrr! Wind chill values might make it feel as cold as -14, so definitely bundle up tight if you're stepping out for a moonlit stroll.
Tomorrow, we're looking at clear skies and a bright, cold day ahead. The sun will be shining, painting everything with a golden winter glow, but don't let that fool you—it's going to be frigid out there! Highs around 11 degrees, with wind chill values possibly dipping as low as -16. So, make sure to layer up and stay warm, my Bloomington pals.
Remember, stay safe and cozy indoors if you can, but if you do venture out, stay warm and enjoy the beauty of the season. And hey, if you spot Trombone Guy out there playing his tunes in the snow, give him a smile and a wave—he's always spreading joy, no matter the weather. Keep warm, Bloomington! 🌲🌨️
