It snowed again today making me and everyone else a little upset. I think at this point we are numb to feeling bitter about snow. The light dusting was just enough to cover all of the ice making every step an adventure. As to why this snow occurred let's take a look at the condition of the jet streams.
 
A trough is beginning to form in mid America. This is great news for anyone who loves warm weather because this trough is pushing out the polar vortex from our area causing warmer weather to creep in. I suspect this trough will continue to develop gaining strength bringing with it more warm air from the Pacific. For tomorrow expect warmer temps with similar wind speeds as today. Snow shouldn't be a factor tomorrow but I suspect we haven't gotten the last of it yet this winter.
