After multiple cloudy days, we finally have some sun this morning.  Unfortunately, there are very cold temperatures with it.  It was only 13F when I got up this morning, and temps have rebounded a bit since t […]

Highs yesterday reached just enough above freezing to make the road muddy, but not really enough to get rid of any snow cover.  We still have about 2 inches on the ground and no more is expected for a while.  In f […]

This has been a peaceful week weather-wise here in Michigan.  There hasn’t been much precipitation and what we got was very light.  We had quite a bit […]

Our trees are still snow covered with very little thawing going on.  Gotta admit, it’s very pretty.  This is why I like snow in the winter.  Without it, the days are so dark and gloomy.  We have about 3 inche […]

It began as rain in the afternoon, then changed to snow by early evening.  Just when we thought that we were spared from the freezing rain, it changed to freezing rain.  By nightfall, it was heavy to moderate s […]

I think that this picture insert pretty much tells what we can expect today.  Right now it is calm but it doesn’t look like it will be that way much longer.  I’m just glad that I don’t have to go anywhere t […]

Although I doubt that there will be much partying going on tonight, those who do have to be traveling may find it quite difficult.  There is a wintry mix in the forecast with freezing rain for our New Year’s […]

Today began very cold with temps in the teens and we’ll be lucky to see the freezing mark today.  At least we don’t have strong winds to contend with.  Yesterday was a sad day for us.  My daughter had to have he […]

One of our family friends is a brilliant oceanography professor and extremely accomplished skier, and he has a t-shirt that says “Viva La Nina.” It’s a perfect shirt for an oceanographer (since La Nina is a […]

This, being our last week of December, is quite uneventful.  There are no major storms or any significant weather in the forecast.  The little snow that we have is slowly melting and rain in the the forecast for t […]

We had continual light snow showers all day yesterday and we did accumulate exactly 1 inch of total snow cover.  Today is peaceful, weather-wise, and it is cloudy with temperatures right near normal.  So it i […]

The day after Christmas Day is called Boxing Day in the United Kingdom, named, not because people went around to other people’s houses drunk from all the sherry drunk the previous day and roar “Do you want some?” […]

Happy Christmas Eve everybody! I hope this post finds you all in good health and cheer, or at least as good as things can be considering the times. I was fortunate enough to witness the “Grand Conjunction” last […]

As warm as today is, it is not pleasant to be outdoors due to the strong winds.  We have a large cold front coming tomorrow and temperatures will be dropping all day.  We have reached our high of 50F but the w […]

I think that our mild weather is coming to an end looking at the extended forecast on Christmas.  Tomorrow will probably be the warmest that we’ll see for awhile with highs expected to reach near 50F.  The high t […]

Our December weather continues to be mild and quite uneventful.  Highs today should remain in the mid to upper 30s with little precipitation in the forecast.  I’m hearing the latest forecast calling for a p […]

Oregon’s Western Cascades watershed to experience larger, more frequent fires — ScienceDaily

We have another gloomy day with temps hovering right near the freezing mark.  The little snow that we had yesterday is now gone and a little mist could be felt when I was outdoors a while ago.  No sun is e […]

The past week in NW Oregon has seen a fairly active winter pattern pick up. Several wet systems and cool enough airmasses for real Cascade snow last weekend. […]
