I was out of town yesterday and therefore unable to post my weather observations, so I will include information from both days in this post.
Yesterday was clear in the morning before a system carrying snow moved into the area around noon. There were times of very heavy snow, but it seemed to move relatively quickly from the Eau Claire area. The eye of the storm settled between Eau Claire and the Twin Cities and created white out conditions. I knew this because my group and I were driving the stretch of interstate between the two cities in said blizzard during this time. The snow was falling quite heavily but luckily the winds weren't too strong and there was not much blowing snow during or after the storm.
Here is a picture of downtown Minneapolis during the end of the storm. A lot more snow fell outside the city limits.
Because of this weather system, the weather today was bright and sunny and the temperature was much colder. The temperature is also expected to drop even more and air pressure will rise as the night wears on today. There were little to no clouds today and the very bright sun melted some of the snow on rooftops and sidewalks even with the frigid temperatures. I'm predicting cold and clear again tomorrow.
