🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 34°F | Low: 23°F
Well, good morning, Bloomington pals! 🌞 Looks like we've got a bit of a weather mixtape playing for us today. The sky is feeling a little whimsical, giving us a chance of flurries before 5 pm, and then more flurries with a sprinkle of snow after that. 🌨️❄️
But don't let that deter you from your morning stroll over to The Olive Leaf for some gourmet delights or a quick stop at La Bodega Latin Market for those fresh tortillas. 🫒🌮 The high today will dance around 34 degrees, so it's that perfect cozy sweater weather we all love.
Now, tonight is where the real show begins! Snow is making an appearance, mainly between 8 pm and 4 am. And let me tell you, it might come down heavy at times, so you might want to tuck in early and enjoy the winter wonderland from the comfort of your cozy abode. ❄️🏡
As we roll into tomorrow, expect mostly cloudy skies with a high near 29. A bit of a chill in the air, but nothing a warm cup of coffee from Rong Cheng Supermarket can't fix. 🥢☕️ And hey, if the night sky clears up, remember you can always check out the stars at Morgan Observatory for a little celestial treat. 🔭🌌
So, Bloomington buddies, grab those scarves and mittens, and let's embrace whatever the weather brings our way today. Stay warm, stay safe, and keep those spirits bright! 🧣✨
