It’s always very pleasant to wake up to sunshine, even if the temperatures aren’t what they should be.  Our temps have been about 15-20 degrees below average but that’s about to change.  Each day should be a l […]

I’m hoping that after these next few days, that we will be finished with the single digit and teen temperatures.  We are expecting highs in the forties this weekend and in the 30s all next week.  Maybe we have f […]

I have been in the hospital over the past two days, so I’ve been absent from the weather observations.  I know that it was frigid yesterday, and it was a bit of a shock from when I went in on Saturday night.  T […]

The winds began to roar around 10 AM this morning and it is raising quite a bit of havoc around the state.  The Mackinaw Bridge is closed after a sheet of ice fell from one of the towers onto the windshield of a […]

Tomorrow should be quite interesting with this storm affecting so many states.  Although my area isn’t expecting any snow, winds will be the issue.  There is a high wind watch in effect for tomorrow morning t […]

Yesterday was a fairly mellow day but we had clouds all day but none of the freezing rain or snow that was predicted.  Finally, we had some light drizzle in the late afternoon but temperatures were warm enough […]

Yesterday was supposed to be sunny.  It never happened.  We were supposed to have 4 days of dry weather.  That isn’t happening either.  In fact,  it’s snowing quite hard out there right now.  The latest forec […]
