Monday 3/24/14

Today's Conditions
Temperature: 16 degrees Fahrenheit
Windchill: 14 degrees Fahrenheit
Dew point: 4 degrees Fahrenheit

Wind: 14mph NW
Cloud cover: Overcast
Pressure: 1028.8 mb




















After a much needed vacation, the weather blog has returned just in time for the changing of the seasons. A few days ago the planet experienced the spring equinox, meaning that for about a day's time, the planet's poles weren't tilted and the duration of the daylight was the same at all points on the earth's surface. This means that until the summer solstice, the northern hemisphere will be tilting closer to the sun each day, theoretically raising temperatures from here on out. 



 Bringing things back a bit more locally, temperatures remain dismal in Wisconsin. A high pressure system to our south along with a low pressure system up north have combined their efforts to give northern Wisconsin a good amount of westerly winds. Precipitation is present in the Twin Cities and should be arriving in no time due to the wind, but it shouldn't last long either. Tomorrow we can expect clearer skies with similar temperatures.

Today's Haiku
Back from vacation
But it's still really cold here
Why did I come back
