To say it is uncomfortable is an understatement.  I sat outdoors with my dogs for a half hour and I felt damp.  I checked the dew point and it was at 70°F at that time.  I see that it has gone down a bit now […]

As anyone who reads my blog can tell.  I’m really tired of these hot temperatures.  I guess that I should be thankful that we haven’t had any severe weather this summer, and that the farmers have gotten enough r […]

As you can probably tell, it’s been a very tough summer for much of the Western U.S., and even parts of Canada. So far there have been five big […]

Monday started out cloudy and relatively cool in the upper 60s, then rose into the low 80s by mid-afternoon. Storm clouds built rapidly in the later afternoon hours, and a brief heavy thunderstorm hit around the […]

Is it ever going to cool down this summer?  Today will be another where our highs will be nearing the 90 degree mark.  If I wanted weather this hot, I’d move down south.

My morning job was trimming the bushes in front of the deck.  When I started, the temperature was in the low 70s.  By the time I finished, it was in the 80s.  It was a messy job and much of the trimmings stuck to […]

Sunday started out cloudy and relatively cool with 70s persisting through the mid-day hours, then partial sun for a few hours before clouds moved in, culminating with light showers (0.07″) between 1620-1730 and […]

I don’t know about you, but I thoroughly enjoyed our sudden switch to cooler weather on Saturday. I was in Seattle for a weekend of boat chores and band practice, but even more fun than pressure-washing our boat w […]

Saturday started out cloudy with sprinkles scattered about (T) with the promise of more serious storms later in the afternoon, but they failed to materialize at my location. Showers fell elsewhere in the region as […]

Thunderstorms developed just to our northwest Saturday evening bringing us 0.07″ of rainfall.  I watched it develop right over my area, then proceeded to move to the south southeast toward Detroit.  We didn’t g […]
