Today's Weather:
Temperature: 25° F 
Feels Like: 13° F
Humidity: 88%

Wind Direction: NE, 15mph

Snow snow snow. The last few days we have been receiving winds moving in from the northeast. The worst of storms arise from winds coming from the east which helps to explain why this winter (spring?) storm has been so intense. One aspect of the wind direction that could also be making the snow amount worse is that it is blowing over the great lakes and picking up more moisture along with it. Also, there are three low pressure systems south of us that is keeping all the stormy weather here.  It looks like Eau Claire is actually in a region that doesn't have the most moisture in the air but, the wind direction will continue to push the moist air from the Great Lakes to our region.
