This is my first weather blog!

This morning when I woke up it was snowing and hailing. My roommate and I usually like to take pictures off our balcony and today was no exception. I took three pictures of the weather change during the course of the day- those are above. It went from a snowing and hailing to snowing to heavy snow and now it is back to rain and the forecast according to Weather.com is snow tonight.

Little did I know before checking Weather.com, we are in the middle of winter storm Luna. I have herd of naming tropical storms before, but never winter storms. Therefore I did what research I could to find more about these storms. Naming them is relatively new, Weather.com states there "goal is to better communicate the threat and timing of the significant impact that accompany these events... a storm with a name is easier to follow [and allows for] more preparation."

The cloud coverage today is very full, (a little unscientific but this is my first blog). I did not see the sun out at all and the cloud cover forecast, according to Weather.com, shows many clouds over the Midwest.

As for tomorrows forecast I think it will be more of the same because this weather pattern has been happening all day and is now classified into a weather storm I think the cycle will continue at least until tomorrow.
