Temperatures here near Eau Claire are still in the mid 20's. Yesterday we did receive the expected snowfall that was forecasted. It wasn't too bad though, the car just needed to be wiped down, not scraped at all. However, it was another slower drive into school. Today, however, has been a beautiful day! The for today is 26F, and it feels like 26F. On top of that, it's sunny! So no having to clean the car off before heading home. But, instead of taking a lot more time to talk about local weather we have a much more pressing issue to talk about.
As we all know New England just got hit by hurricane Sandy, which made extensive damage for everyone and everything in it's path. Now they are dealing with a severe winter storm, known as Nemo.
Nemo is a low pressure cell (area enclosed in circle of blue arrows), that is moving to the northeast (white arrow). It is producing very strong counterclockwise circulation, which results in the generation of very high winds into the eastern shore of New England. This storm is forecasted to bury this region under very large amounts of snow.
This storm is expected to drop heavier amounts of snow, anywhere between 12 inches to 3 feet, in the in the northern parts of the New Enland region.
While covering the southern part of the region with much less snow, however still a large amount, around 3-24 inches.
We'll stay updated on this storm throughout the weekend to see how it progresses.
