And the grammy goes to....

BON IVER!!!!

before we get into the weather, a congratulations is in order for Eau Claire native Justin Vernon and his band who won the Grammy for best new artist!!  The name Bon Iver is french for "beautiful winter"... something that Eau Claire has seemed to somewhat miss out on this year... until today!

We had our first snowfall in awhile!  Thanks to the moisture in the air, alto stratus clouds were present throughout the day and allowed for conditions to be just right for the perfect snowfall.  The high today was 28 degrees and the winds were coming out of the southwest at around 5 to 10 mph.  The snowfall lasted from about 4-6 p.m. and accumulated just under an inch of snow.  There radar shows a few snow showers to come later in the night, but it should clear up by tomorrow.

The southern wind will continue to bring warm temperatures throughout the week.  Expect highs in the mid thirties tomorrow with partly cloudy skies.
