Winter Storm Saturn has arrived. I awoke this morning to altostratus clouds that formed into stratus clouds. The presence of the stratus clouds accompanied by a decently strong ENE wind indicated that precipitation should be on it's way soon. Light snow started around 2 p.m. and has been on off since. The wind is now coming from an ESE direction which means that we should be in for some significant snowfall tonight with the snowfall being heavy at times. According to several sources, our area should get anywhere from 6-12 inches through tonight into tomorrow afternoon. 

The snow that is shown over Minnesota and our area is projected to track southwest to the Chicago area and then possibly head east and provide the Northeast with another significant winter storm. 

The Eau Claire area is right near the border of the 3-6" and 6-12" snowfall ranges. It will be interesting to see how accurate the forecasts have been. I will update the blog tomorrow with snowfall totals from Winter Storm Saturn.
