I know that my blogs gets a bit redundant at times, but there is really nothing else to be said.  Our weather so far this autumn has been amazing.  We are seeing more color each day and temperatures have been c […]

Today is quite a bit warmer than yesterday with highs expected in the mid 60s.  In fact, we are already there.  The warmth will continue over the next several days before the next wave of cold air comes our w […]

October is a month of changes. Leaves turn from green to red, the weather turns from sunny to stormy, and the Mariners – at least for the last 21 years – hang up their cleats until the following spring.

But not […]

We had our first hard freeze last night and some areas of the state reported snow flurries.  If we had gotten any precipitation overnight, I’m sure it also would have been snow.  My roses and mums survived and I h […]

The cold front moved through late yesterday, bringing with it some light showers.  There was 0.04″ in my rain gauge this morning and temps were in the upper 30s.  Highs today won’t warm up much more than the low 5 […]

After a run of great weather, it will now be coming to an end.  It is doubtful that we will see temperatures in the 70s again this year, but in Michigan, one never knows.  Our sky has been mostly cloudy since t […]

Our day began with clear skies and sun.  Now clouds have moved in but temperatures will be well above average.  Today and tomorrow will probably be the end of warm days as a strong cold front will be knocking on o […]

We have yet another beautiful October day with temps in the low 70s, clear skies, and a light breeze.  It just couldn’t be any nicer.  There is no mention of rain until Thursday, and then just a chance.  We ha […]

Temperatures fell into the low 30s overnight, and everything was covered in frost this morning.  I moved my hanging plants close to the house and they seem to have survived.  We were under a frost advisory until 9 […]

Greetings, weather folks!  I’m back from my five-day road trip to Southern Oregon and Northern California.  As a kid I got to drive through the area several times during family visits to relatives in the Bay A […]

Today is sunny but cooler than yesterday.  We also have a fairly strong breeze which keeps it feeling uncomfortably chilly if you aren’t wearing a jacket.  This weather is expected to continue until the latter p […]

October couldn’t have come in any better than it did.  We could see highs near 70F today but winds are expected to be quite brisk.  This weather will probably only last another week or so as I’m seeing highs o […]

Our weather is shaping up to be a great start for the first of October.  We are getting into the frost season and it won’t be long until the summer flowers will all be gone.  My Mums are all open and will resist t […]

Yesterday was dreary and cold.  It really set the mood for following Hurricane Ian on YouTube, riding along with the storm chasers.  I have many relatives and friends in Florida and I’m still concerned for those t […]

We had intermittent rain showers yesterday which produced 0.18″ of rain.  Today is turning out to be much the same.  We did start the day with some sun, but it didn’t last long.  Temperatures are a little co […]

Temperatures aren’t expected to even reach 60F today, and this will continue for the next 3 days.  At least we don’t have to worry about a hurricane, although some weather gurus are saying that it could head in […]

It’s as if Mother Nature decided that now that summer is officially over, we should be getting fall weather.  No more warm temperatures for us!  We went from AC weather to running the furnace almost overnight.  Lo […]

Today is the Fall Equinox, which means that we are now passing into the “dark half” of the year.   Of course, due to seasonal lag it’s not quite the cold half of the year yet; that threshold is still  nearly a mon […]

Yesterday brought thunderstorms which lasted from 5 PM to near 10 PM.  There was one after another with a lot of lightning, some striking very close to us.  Heavy rainfall left 1.35″ in my gauge this morning.  Th […]

We haven’t had any rain yet, but the radar is showing it getting very close.  The remainder of my flowers would greatly appreciate it.  Rain has been sparse this month, and that’s a bit strange for September in M […]
