We had drizzle and rain most of our Friday.  Then it changed over to snow late.  We received 1.5 inches of very wet snow which is already melting a little, especially where I shoveled.  That’s the good thing ab […]

We drove by the river today on our way to town and it is well over it’s banks in Corunna.  We received over an inch of rain in the thunderstorms and showers that we had the past 2 days.  I think we have enough r […]

Today is one of those March days that makes you just want to stay in bed.  We had rain almost all night, leaving 0.53″ in my rain gauge.  Now it has stopped for a while, but it is damp, windy, and just plain c […]

What a difference a day makes.  Yesterday was beautiful with warm temps and plenty of sun.  We had to spend the day in Detroit and at least we had good weather for that.  Today is cold and no sun to be found.  To […]

We have had gorgeous weather for the past several days, and we sat outdoors for the first time this year.  There was plenty of sun and even with the wind, it was comfortable.  Our high yesterday was 72°F and to […]

We were all sitting out in the yard for the first time this year, and even with the wind, it is warm enough to not wear a coat.  Yesterday was very warm also with some sun, but we have already hit 70°F today.  Un […]
