Weather-wise, it couldn’t be nicer.  Our highs will be near 70° and winds will be light.  What an improvement this is from the past four days.  It seemed like it would never stop raining.  Today will be a cook […]

Today will be chilly with still a chance for rain, but tomorrow will be a new day.  It sounds like it may be a perfect Easter Sunday with highs in the 60s and plenty of sun.  We will be cooking outdoors for s […]

We had rain most of the night and into this morning.  It seems to have stopped for now.  Radar is showing that there is a line of rain and we seem to be right on the edge of it.  I think that means that today sh […]

Yesterday was supposed to be a near washout according to our forecast, but it was anything but.  We even saw a little sun in the afternoon after a few sprinkles.  It was really a pleasant surprise.  Te […]

Sunday was a miserable day weather-wise.  That seemed to be the case for the entire eastern United States.  We had a mixed bag of winter precipitation, switching from snow to sleet to rain all day long.  Fi […]

Yesterday was beautiful except for a very brisk wind.  At least we had normal temperatures and plenty of sun.  Today will be a different story.  It just started snowing when I got up at 8 AM, then it changed to ra […]

We had rain into yesterday morning, then it cleared by afternoon and there was plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, I can’t say that it was a nice day because the winds made it very unpleasant to be outdoors.  T […]

Temperatures remained constant through the night and highs today will be quite warm.  This is in advance of another cold front which will affect our weekend.  In fact, the upcoming week doesn’t look too good.  Th […]

Yup, we woke up to a white world once again.  Most of it was supposed to be rain but that didn’t happen.  It began about midnight and I’m not sure when it ended, but there was two inches to shovel off the deck t […]

We have to let go of the fine, spring weather that we have had over the past several days, and get ready for some  rain / snow/ sleet / freezing rain which will begin tonight.  This is expected to continue into t […]

Yesterday was a real treat for us with a high of 71°F in the afternoon.  Today isn’t quite as nice but still warmer than normal.  We have a brisk west wind which is a bit uncomfortable but still a nice day co […]

This weekend should be a real winner for us in the mitten state.  Highs should reach well into the 60s and little if no rain is expected.  I think it’s time to start getting some screens on the windows or g […]

We had a cold east wind blowing all day Thursday and a mix of rain and sleet fell late Thursday night.  Some reported freezing rain but I didn’t see any evidence of that here.  I could hear sleet hitting my w […]

Today should be dry until tonight, but we won’t see much sun and temperatures are below normal once again.  At least the winds have calmed down.  We have some much warmer air heading our way for Saturday and S […]

Our upcoming days appear to be wonderful with temperatures well above normal and not too much rain.  We can’t ask for much better than that in April.  I’m expecting to start seeing tractors and farm equipment at a […]

NOAA has released it’s prediction for this month’s weather.  Most of the country is expected to have above normal temperatures which is a complete swing from April of 2018.  So the winter haters can rejoice.  I th […]

We had rain most of yesterday, but by late afternoon, it was changing to snow.  We now have a quarter of an inch on the ground and 0.36″ of total precip for the day.  Yes, it looks like winter once again.  On th […]

So far, our weather has been quite normal for this time of year.  Highs have been  a bit above normal and no one is complaining about that.  We are returning to winter this weekend however.  We aren’t exp […]

We should see highs near 60°F today and not much rain in the forecast.  There is a little sun shining through right now and it looks to be quite a nice day.  Our normal weather is becoming more of a constant al […]

At least we have clear skies but it isn’t nearly as warm outside as it looks.  You can really feel the heat from the sun now streaming though the windows and I’ve noticed that the furnace does run as much on […]
