🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 26°F | Low: 25°F
Looks like we've got a cozy day ahead, Bloomington! Snow's paying us a visit before bedtime, with maybe 1 to 3 inches of the white stuff to tuck us in tonight. So, if you're out and about late, keep an eye out for those fluffy flakes dancing around.
And tomorrow? Well, we'll be waking up to a winter wonderland with cloudy skies and temps huddled around 25. A touch of fog might linger, adding a touch of mystery to our morning stroll. 🌫️ But fear not, as the day rolls on, those clouds will part, revealing patches of blue and sunshine.
Nighttime's like a gentle lullaby, with partly cloudy skies and a cozy low of about 20. You might want to snuggle up a bit tighter under the covers tonight. A light and variable wind will be whispering through the trees, creating that perfect ambiance for a good night's sleep.
So, my friends, grab your scarves and mittens, and maybe a cup of hot cocoa to keep you warm. Embrace the winter magic outside, but remember to stay safe and snug. And who knows, maybe the Dunn Cemetery ghost story will get a dusting of snow tonight, adding a sprinkle of enchantment to our town. 🧣✨
Until next time, stay warm and keep an eye on those skies, Bloomington!
