Today is quite nice although very cold.  Once again, there is an extreme drop in our temperatures with highs today remaining below the freezing mark.  This seems to be happening every 3-4 days for us.  Just wh […]

We have some very warm weather coming for the weekend.  Temperatures could even reach 60F if NOAA is correct.  Today is starting out with sun although that isn’t supposed to last.  There is rain expected for ou […]

Our first day of spring, meteorologically speaking, is starting out very nice.  Skies are mostly cloudy and there is a slight chance of rain, but it does feel like spring.  I haven’t seen any robins yet but the r […]

Our weekend was quite nice after our 3.5″ snowfall on Thursday.  Temperatures warmed up enough that most of it melted within three days.  In fact, our ground cover right now is only about 50%.  With mild te […]

A warm front is passing over the Columbia Basin during the day Sunday to bring some rain showers and warmer temperatures. Rain showers are also possible Monday around the region with the highest chance being in […]

We received another 3.5 inches of snow overnight, and light snow flurries have continued most of the morning.  Temperatures are a little warmer than yesterday, and where we shoveled on our deck, has melted in […]

(A quick reminder that during noteworthy weather events, you can find quick updates on my Facebook weather page.  Check it anytime there is flooding, snow, wind, heat or cold – these mini-blogs contain the finer […]

Although it is cold, it isn’t totally unpleasant outdoors today.  Yes, the breeze is rather light but still makes the temperature even colder than what it is.  We even have the sun peeking through once in a w […]

After two very mild days, and a few heavy downpours, we now have a flooding problem in my area.  The Shiawassee River is near flood stage, and recent ice jams on the river in Owosso has caused a lot of grief.  N […]

It has been raining since I got up this morning.  Some showers have been quite heavy.  There was 0.18″ in my gauge at 8:45 and the rain had stopped by then.  Now we are having intermittent showers and fog.  Mos […]

Today is quite pleasant after the past two.  There is a breeze but not hurricane winds like we have had, or at least it seemed like it.  We have a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures are comfortable for this t […]

Looking out the window, it appears to be a very nice day.  But when the wind hits you, it doesn’t feel so nice.  At least we have sun and that lifts the spirits a bit.  Temperatures should be mild for a few da […]

For winter weather nerds in the Pacific Northwest, mid-February is traditionally a tough time to reckon with.  The sun angle is rapidly inceasing and our normal daily temperatures in the lowlands are beginning to […]

Yesterday was very windy which made it hard to get an accurate snow measurement this morning.  I’m guessing that we got about 0.2″ of new snow but we have snow drifts that are about a foot deep, while other areas […]

Yesterday was cloudy but warm enough to rid us of most of our snow and ice.  Then in the late afternoon, our precip began as freezing mist which changed over to fine snow shortly after.  As the night wore on, t […]

Afternoon highs in the Tri-Cities have been running above average for the last several days in the Columbia Basin with some places even approaching 70° late last week. These mild conditions are likely to come to […]

My picture pretty much tells what we can expect today.  We had heavy rain most of the night and there was 0.82″ in my gauge.  My county (Shiawassee) is in the advisory area and we are expecting 3-6 inches of s […]

One of the most frequent questions that I get when posting about weather events over on Tri-Cities Weather is some form of “why does the alert stop at ?” The short answer is that it has to do with how the National […]

An active weather pattern is expected to continue into the weekend. The Inland Northwest isn’t likely to see much in the way of precipitation as a ridge of high pressure off the Pacific Northwest puses weather […]

With all the snow that we have, we’ve been putting food out for the deer.  They come about 4-5 times a day to see what’s out there for them.  I enjoy watching them and the birds.  Winter is always such a dead ti […]
