And that is 12Z data. If 12Z = 4 or 5pm Eastern time then ouch!
You think winter is done? Think again!
The weather will gradually warm up over the next few days but winter will continue to fight back. The Hudson Bay Low and the Polar Vortex do not want to give up. It even fooled me! My gut intuition was to say that once we get to March 1st, we are definitely done with single digits but I don't know after looking this March 7 forecast. That's going to be close.
Light snow and cold for the next 24 hours.
Bloomington is seeing light snow right now. There is a storm to our south that will graze us with more light snow tomorrow.
Surprise snowstorm for Bloomington Indiana!
It's only two days late right? Today is February 16 and we almost always get snow on Valentine's Day. So much for the "Snow Hole".
As you might have already figured out, the Polar Vortex is back to visit us. There are multiple chances for snow this week. I haven't seen a winter like this since back in 2012. It also reminds me of the 1990's.
Wednesday is going to be intersting so keep an eye for 2/19/2025.
Also, Monroe County Indiana is under a Travel Watch so resist the urge to go to Taco Bell.
If you haven't signed up for the Monroe County Alerts, you should do so. You can do that by following the instructions here:
The Bloomington Indiana snow hole 2025!
I'm sure you all have seen the weather apps on your phone by now, but don't trust those. There are 3 winter storms approaching and can you believe our luck? We are going to miss out on all three. One will go to our north. The next will go to our south and the third one will give us rain. Why do we have such bad luck?
Sunday and Monday will be the last nice days for a while.
So get out and enjoy them before winter returns with a vengeance. Yes, winter is going to make a comeback but beware of the extremist posts on social media again. Are we getting snow next week? Yes! Is it going to be 20+ inches? NO! Please don't fall for the social media hype like this:
Let's trust the weather professionals at the National Weather Service for as long as we can and let's hope they don't get completely cut from the federal budget.

Punxsutawney Phil says six more weeks of winter and he is right!
Of course there is always a 50/50 chance that he will be right but winter is definitely not over. I hope you enjoyed the sunny 65 degree day yesterday. The Polar Vortex is set to return after Valentine's Day. More cold and snow are on the way.
#BOTS!
Winter is coming back! Cold and snow to return in week two of February 2025,
