We have yet another very cold day ahead with highs expected to not rise much above freezing.  No real precipitation is expected until next week, and I’m hoping that it comes as rain, not snow.  So far, the w […]

Today is one of the coldest that we have had yet this winter.  Skies continue to be cloudy and occasional snow flurried appear from time to time.  The wind isn’t too bad and that makes it tolerable.  This we […]

I guess I shouldn’t complain.  We could be buried under a foot of snow.  There is a winter storm brewing next week, from what I understand.  My son has an appointment in Detroit on Wednesday, and I pray th […]

After a cloudy, dull couple of days, we are finally seeing the sun this afternoon.  I was having my doubts this morning, but the clouds are finally moving out.  Unfortunately, it won’t make much difference i […]

Yesterday was wet and cold.  Today is even colder but at least it’s dry.  There was a trace of snow on the ground this morning, but it is gone now.  There is no precip in our forecast and it was supposed to be […]

Nothing more can be said about today except that it’s nasty outdoors.  We received quite a bit of rain overnight with  0.41″ in my rain gauge this morning.  Since then we have had drizzle and mist with a bi […]

Although our highs today won’t be as warm as the past several days, they will still be above the average.  We received 0.14″ of rain late yesterday and overnight and we now have just cloudy skies.  We could see a […]

We have yet another dark, gloomy day with rain.  Temperatures are way above where they should be for this date, and that’s the only good thing.  This is expected to continue until Saturday, but then temps w […]

Although today has looked like rain all day, we haven’t gotten a drop as yet.  Rain is in the forecast  for tonight, although no great amounts are expected.  No sun is in the forecast until Saturday and ra […]

We had a little sun earlier today, but now clouds have taken over.  It looks like rain but none so far.  Temps are mild but the dampness gives the day a chilly feel.  It’s a quiet day for us.  The family is […]
