It started raining around 6PM yesterday, and we receive 0.33″ by midnight.  Today has been dreary and damp, but no more rain so far.  They are telling us that we could get another round of showers later this a […]

We have rain in our forecast for tomorrow and early next week.  I hope it’s enough to matter.  I’m hearing that there are wildfires in the UP, and that’s always a possibility when we don’t get any rain for a l […]

We had northern lights last night, but the sky was hazy so they weren’t very bright.  Today, the sky also has a light cover of clouds or smoke . . . . not sure which, but the sun is shining so it’s okay with […]

We have another dry but cool day.  There is some color developing on bushes and trees but many leaves are just drying up and falling off.    We may see a little rain this weekend but no great amounts from what I […]

As Hurricane Milton is bearing down on Florida, they are already getting very heavy rains and tornadoes.   Landfall is still expected early tomorrow morning somewhere near the Tampa-St Petersburg area.  It i […]

The eyes of the nation are on Florida today with a large, wicked hurricane knocking on their door.  Hurricane Milton is expected to come on shore in the Tampa area early Thursday morning.  Most of the state o […]

Sept. 23 was the last time that we had any significant rainfall.  It is getting very dry and we could use some of that rain that the hurricanes are bringing to our southeast.  Maybe I should be careful what I […]

As we enjoy lovely autumn weather, the southeast is preparing for yet another hurricane.  While Florida is still trying to clean up after Helena, another one, Milton, seems to be heading straight for them.  T […]

We have clear skies and mild temps today.  We could see a little rain tonight, but just a slight chance.  Otherwise, our beautiful fall weather continues for most of this week.

Our 1:30 PM temperature is 6 […]

My heart breaks for the people stranded in the mountains of North Carolina, and I think it is criminal that the government seems to have written them off.  There’s another rain system in the Gulf which is […]

Today will be the warmest day that we will have for awhile.  We should see highs in the mid 70s, but then the weather will turn to where it really should be for this time of year.  Our extended summer was c […]

It is a gorgeous day here in Michigan.  Temperatures are right where they should be for this time of year, and not much wind.  It’s just a great day to get out and do anything.  Most of the rain missed us ye […]

We lost our sun early, and now clouds have taken over.  Radar is showing some narrow rain bands which may bring us a few sprinkles.  We aren’t expecting a lot of rain today, just enough to get things a l […]

Yesterday was cloudy all day, then the sky started clearing a little just before sunset.  This morning was cloudy, and there were signs that we had a little rain overnight.  Now it looks like we may get some s […]

Our morning began with a little rain which ended by 9 AM.  Now we have clouds but should see a little sun later on.  The rain we got was the remnants of Hurricane Helene, that has caused a lot of d […]

We have some remnants of Hurricane Helene over us, but it is quite tame.  We have very little rain, and not much wind.  What rain we do get won’t last long, but it will remain cloudy through most of t […]

I’ve been watching the hurricane coverage on TV.  I feel so sorry for those who seem to always be affected by these storms.  The past 3 or 4 seem to have aimed for the northwest areas of Florida, and some of t […]

After a cloudy, damp Wednesday, today is looking to be very nice.  The sun is out, most of the clouds are gone, and we should see highs in the mid 70s.  At this time, it doesn’t look like Hurricane Helene w […]

As Florida is preparing for the impact of yet another hurricane, we in Michigan are looking forward to another week of great weather.  Yesterday was a bit stormy with even a few tornado warnings down by the […]

We had a little more rain overnight, and so far, today has been dry.  Radar is showing a large mass of rain to our west, but I’m not sure that it will move our way.  Most of the rain seems to be moving in a n […]
