We received a little rain overnight and winds howled all night long.  The temperature was 57F at 8 AM this morning, and it dropped 20 degrees in just 2  hours.  We are victims of a strong cold front which ca […]

TEMPERATURES
February 2022’s area Average Temperatures were slightly below Normal, with the greater departures being with Average Minimum Temperatures. The month was a topsy-turvy one compared to most Februaries […]

Today will be like a day in April with highs getting up to near 60°F.  Days like this are such spoilers this time of year because they are always followed by another cold front, bringing undesirable weather w […]

Meteorological spring begins on March 1st, and you can feel it in the air. After 1.25” of rain on 2/27 and an incredible 2.97” on 2/28, the weather since Tuesday 3/1 has been tranquil, with partly cloudy skies int […]

We have frost and mostly clear skies this morning.  Highs are only expected to reach the low 40s, but then tomorrow will be wonderful and the pick day of the weekend.  We could see 60F.  Sunday will bring fa […]

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 […]
