The entire lower peninsula and part of the UP is under a winter weather advisory with anywhere from two to five more inches of snow expected, depending on where you are.  My area is in the 2-3 inch range.  T […]

The last few days have brought us snow and more snow.  We started out with a few inches, then four inches yesterday.  We have had off and on snow showers most of today but no real accumulations.  Our snow pack is […]

We received about 4 inches of snow over the last 36 hours and they are telling us that we could get another 1-3 on Sunday.  We knew that we weren’t going to get away without some winter weather after a very mild […]

We woke to a little under an inch of new snow.  Radar is showing more on the way and predictions are for another 1-2 inches by tonight.  Temperatures have taken a plunge and will struggle to make it into the 30s t […]

We finished January on a stormy note. I headed up to Whidbey Island last Friday night the 31st to visit my folks, and we lost power on my way up due to strong southerly winds from an atmospheric river that was […]

We couldn’t ask for  nicer weather than what we had yesterday for early February here in Michigan.  It was sunny most of the day except for periods of altocumulus cloud cover early.  Highs reached near 50° and win […]

because, boy, do we need it

This forecast map generated by WXCharts (a Met Desk product) shows the end result of a storm that is forecast to form on Sunday morning at 6.00am GMT (1.00am EST) off the coast […]

We better enjoy today because this weather will be coming to an end tomorrow.  Yesterday was lovely except for the winds.  Today won’t bring us as much sun, but temperatures will still reach the mid 40s and w […]

My thermometer, which is in the sun, is showing 60°F.  It really feels balmy out there and I think I’ll take the dog out for a walk around the yard.  These type of days are very rare in winter so I’m going to ta […]

Happy February everyone! We just experienced the warmest January in 67 years at PDX airport: 45.8 degrees F, which is more than 4 degrees above normal.  It was also the wettest January in 14 years, with 7.58″ of […]

Where is everyone?  I seem to be the only one posting a blog lately.  I know that there have been some issues with this site lately and I hope that they get resolved quickly.

Our weather this morning is not u […]

Temperatures were generally mild, particularly with minimum values during the month. Precipitation was about normal, snowfall well below normal unfortunately.

Brief January 2020 precipitation summary for my […]

Today is just another much like the past 3 or 4.  Winds are fairly calm, temps are hovering right around freezing, and there isn’t much sun. It did, however, peek out a few times earlier today.  Our snow cover c […]

It felt like for a while earlier this month almost every single day was windy, but then it finally let up. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the wind is coming back! Of course, the wind isn’t all that […]

Most of you know me as a weather enthusiast.  But throughout my life, I’ve also had a keen fascination with astronomy. My grandpa first introduced me to the topic when I was about 4 or 5 years old.  I learned t […]

Our weather has remained constant with very little changes expected in the near future.  I guess that’s a good thing.  Little by little, our snow cover is disappearing and we now have about 50%.  Temperatures ar […]

This has been a strange January.  Our temperatures have been mild and most precipitation has been rain.  Any snow that we have received has been light with little accumulation.  In fact, most of our snow cover is […]

It isn’t really warm but still much above average for this date.  After what the Farmers Almanac predicted, everyone was so sure that we were going to be snowed in this winter.  It’s been anything but.  We co […]
