Interesting Week it was, hmmmmm

So this week we had some interesting temperatures.  We had temperatures that made us think that spring, then summer were coming, then soon after a thunderstorm, then another nice day up to 70F, then we have today.  Wow what a crappy day.  I woke up this morning to a cold, dreary, overcast morning that didn't hold much promise.  Then I went outside and it was much worse.  The wind today was hard to deal with.  All day it was around 30F pretty much and it did finally reach 43F but that is not what I was hoping for.  It also ended up being very clear and no clouds in sight.  The winds have also died down from the 13mph with gusts of 17-18mph to just 2mph and from ESE.  Yesterday the low of 45F was higher than the high temperature today of 43F.  It should be warmer tomorrow, and could reach up to 54F but that is still not good enough for me.  I was really hoping to have a few days of wearing shorts again.  Although tomorrow will be a little warmer, it will be pretty clear but there is a chance of rain of 40% by the evening time.  At least it didn't snow today.  But I do still have a headache from the cold air and very cold wind hitting my face for over an hour. 



I like this heat index map, it shows how we have none.  I don't want to see this map again.  I am tired of being cold. 





On the other side of it, this is the wind chill map, I think it would be great to not be listed on this map.  Many states are not just as we are not listed in the heat index.  I think I am living in the wrong place.  It is interesting that the areas such as Illinois and Missouri that are south of us have area that is colder. 




According to this map, the wind in Eau Claire isn't too much to complain about today but the people who made this map didn't walk across the water street bridge either.  It was more like the green highlighted area of Oklahoma and Northeast Texas. 



I have not really looked at one of these maps before but I find it interesting that the places that you would expect to be Extreme are but it is strange how Texas is different all over, it has every color possible in it. It indicates that central Minnesota is Moderate and Wisconsin is low, I wonder why that is.  Then the islands south of Florida, I imagine all of them, are extreme as well.  Sounds really warm!!!!!!!!  I know that is not the only indicator but it makes me think of warmth. 

Current temps map shows how cold it was today!  URGH not happy about this. 

This map gives me hope, this is tomorrows highs!  Lets hope it gets warmer faster. 

The frost and freeze map shows where frost can be expected and where temperatures are forecasted to fall below 32F. I sure hope it is not right but it looks like a good portion of the country has the possibility of this.
