Winter Storm Q

An update on Q:

If you haven't been near a TV or radio or computer lately, you may not be aware that Winter Storm Q is rolling through our area. The storm is being fueled by a subtropical jet that is moving across Mexico. This warm gulf air is mixing with the continental polar cold air coming down from Canada. We can expect to see snow around 2:00am. Don't panic, though! Q is not going to be as crazy as originally predicted as it passes over Wisconsin. But look out if you are traveling to the Northeastern United States!

Right now, we are experiencing 2 mph wind out of the east-northeast with gusts up to 6 mph. The temperature is hovering around 20 degrees F. The skies are overcast and ready to drop some snow. Sleep well, Eau Claire, and get ready to shovel.
