We woke this morning to about 1.5″ of new snow, so now there is almost 3″ on the ground.  It was heavy and wet, so it stuck to everything.  It is just warm enough that some has melted and my boys were out c […]

Today is finally acting like January.  We seem to be right on the line between rain and snow, and snow has been gently falling all morning.  There is just a light covering on the grass and that will probably b […]

We have some possible nasty weather heading our way although there are no watches or warnings for our area at this time.  It appears that most of it will come as rain with heavy snow to our north.  R […]

Snow began falling late yesterday afternoon and continued overnight.  There is about half an inch on the ground which melted down to 0.02″ in my rain gauge.  I don’t expect it to last long since highs today s […]

According to YouTube weather guru, Ryan Hall, we have a number of potential snowstorms heading our way by the end of January.  So far, our winter has been snowless.  If fact, the most snow that we’ve had so f […]

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 […]

Highlights:

1.  December was extremely warm and quite wet! In fact the warmest at PDX in o […]

2023 is ending on a gloomy, wet note, and the sun only showed itself for about 5 minutes yesterday.  So much for our partly sunny Saturday.  Today will be wet with snow in the forecast.  We did have a very li […]

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 […]

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 […]
