It seems like everyone but us got some rain yesterday, even though it wasn’t very much.  Our lawn is brown and nothing is growing but the weeds.  It does seem good that it’s staying short for awhile.  Our next re […]

Monday was partly cloudy overnight into the afternoon, then turned cloudy in the late afternoon into the early evening. High temps reached the mid 80s in the mid afternoon after an early AM min around 70.  Dew po […]

Looking at the radar last night, I was certain that everything would be wet this morning.  It didn’t happen.  It managed to fall apart just before reaching my area.  I’m seeing rain right now approaching but it do […]

TEMPERATURES
Though July averaged close to Normal, the month began quite cool as Maximum Temperatures for 3 of the first 6 days remained ≤70°; no day was >80° until the 12th, and the first day to reach ≥85 […]

Back on multiple day reports spanning two different months today, trying to get caught up on my records. I still need to post the records for July 23 through July 30 but will do that when I get the chance, as I […]

This weather has been wonderful.  There were a few storms that popped up yesterday afternoon which clouded our skies for a few hours, but they fell apart before reaching us.  We went from flooded lawns and f […]

It seemed like summer would never get here, but now it has and it’s wonderful.  The past two days have been sunny with low humidity.  Even though highs were in the low 80s, it was comfortable without the AC o […]

If you like summer weather, this week is perfect.  We have clear skies, low humidity and dew points, and temperatures at a very comfortable level.  I’m wishing that I were at the campground up north.  We’ll be go […]

Sorry for the extended hiatus – I have had an extended birthday celebration the past week, mostly with a surprise visit from my daughter Robin and grandson Gideon from Las Vegas from Thursday July 25 through my […]

Yesterday was another where we had pop-up storms but they all managed to miss us.  The few that did form caused quite a bit of damage but thankfully, they were small and only affected small areas.  We still have a […]

There is a cold front approaching the state which spawned some pretty powerful thunderstorms yesterday.  Fortunately, we were spared and didn’t even get a drop here.   More are in the forecast for today with mu […]

Last night, we kept hearing noises that sounded like thunder, but there were no storms appearing near us on radar.  Others  had reported hearing these also.   I did see a few flashes of lightning way off i the dis […]

Once again, our temps will reach the upper 80s with thunderstorms in the mix.  The weather service is showing us in a slight risk area for severe weather.  Hopefully, that won’t happen.  This weekend is my hu […]

Summer weather came to Michigan with a “bang” this year.  We went from a chilly, April-May type weather to very hot as of July 1.  For awhile, we were wondering if summer was ever going to get here.  At least we […]

As I was writing my previous blog on the 7/12/2019 Three Lakes earthquake, I kept getting sidetracked and found myself writing about the mechanisms behind earthquakes in general (perhaps that’s the reason why this […]

The past two days were wonderful with plenty of sun and cool temperatures.  It was nice to have the windows open for a change.  But today will bring the heat back.  Highs are expected to reach the mid 80s.  We hav […]

Back on the 2 for 1 deal again today, as some active weather took hold the past few days ..

Sunday was another hot one, as my 96.5 degree high today was the hottest (so far) temp of the summer, barely eeking by […]

It’s a joy to be outdoors today with cool temps, low humidity and a comfortable dew point.  We finally got our power back yesterday evening and it felt so good to turn the AC back on.  Our generator does pretty w […]

We haven’t had power now since about 5:30 yesterday afternoon.  We thought that it might be a quick fix until we looked at the power outage map.  It is quite extensive.  The storm that we got was more wind than an […]
