Today is another frigid day in Eau Claire.  Skies remain clear and sunny but temperatures remain around zero again today.  Similar cold weather patterns can be seen between today's weather map and yesterdays, including the cold patch of weather looming over Eau Claire.  Today compared to yesterday the cooler temperatures are moving north in the area, which might lead to some warmer temperatures if this trend continues.  The high temperatures for the day can be seen in Figure 1.

Tomorrow's Forecast:

The Eau Claire area is currently experiencing several days of cold and I expect that this will continue tomorrow.  I believe these conditions will hold for the rest of the day today as well.

Daily National Holiday: 

Today is National Groundhog Day!  Did Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?   Unfortunately he did, so according to Phil we can expect 6 more weeks of winter!
