Days 242-243: January 28-29, 2013

The beginning of the week saw two days of significantly warmer weather, although they were gloomy and rain-filled. Of course, it is completely dry out when we are in the teens and twenties, but as soon as we jump back up to 50 the precipitation comes to town. What does someone have to do to get some snow around here?! As soon as the weather jumped into the low 60s, it became a great afternoon to go out for a run. Fortunately, although it remained gloomy on Tuesday, it was overall dry during the day, which allowed me to go out for my favorite 4-mile campus loop.
It is going to stay fairly warm overnight as we enter the most epic swing of January weather in modern history. Wednesday's forecast calls for 63 degrees and strong thunderstorms around 3am (again, in January in the Midwest), followed by a 40-degree swing back down to 23 degrees with an 8 degree windchill less than 24 hours later. But don't worry guys, no way this climate change thing is real. Hopefully all the rain on the roads from the thunderstorms won't freeze up when it gets cold, but the good news is that the forecast is calling for the possibility of some snow on Thursday or Friday—let's hope it's a good call!
