Why does it always have to rain when we get a nice, warm day?  At least it’s suppose to hold off until later this afternoon or tonight.  We’re waiting for a dry period to get the truck washed but it just isn’t h […]

This morning is starting out with plenty of sun but very chilly.  Highs should reach to near normal, and with the sun and light winds, it should be a great day to be outdoors.  Not sure yet if I’ll take a […]

We woke this morning to a trace of snow on our deck, and another brief snow shower came shortly after.  Now the sun is out.  Talk about bipolar weather!  I doubt that out temps today will make it out of the 30s bu […]

Yesterday began with dry, sun-filtered weather but it wasn’t long before the clouds moved in and we had rain, even mixed with snow at times, the remainder of our day.  We weren’t supposed to get that much rain […]

This morning has been dry but there is rain on the way for this afternoon.  We could get up to quarter of an inch, so there goes our dry week which was forecasted.  Oh well, at least it’s rain and not snow.  Ou […]

Our temperatures are expected to moderate over the next few days with normal to above normal highs by the weekend.  We really aren’t expecting much in the way of precipitation either, so that’s a good thing.  A […]

After the storms of last Thursday, life goes on as a large group of people with chain saws, trucks and other equipment are there helping to clean up the mess.  The final assessment of these storms is that there […]

There are still a lot of road closures in the Durand area and authorities are warning people to stay away from the affected areas.  There appears to be much m […]

Yesterday was supposed to be our beautiful warm, spring-like day with highs in the 60s and warm sun.  But I’ve lived in Michigan long enough to know that having weather like that this early in the year can be […]

Tomorrow, we could see highs near 70° but that also brings the possibility of severe weather.  Unfortunately, that’s the price that we must pay for wonderful spring warmth that comes early in Michigan.    It star […]

Today is expected to be a beautiful day here in Michigan with sunny skies, light winds, and highs in the low to mid 40s.  We have so much ice in the yard that it’s hazardous to walk out there, and I’m hoping that […]

Looking out the window this morning, it looks absolutely lovely.  But when you stick your had out, there is a brisk wind which takes away some of the glory.  Regardless, we’ll take the sun.  Yesterday was cl […]

After a very pleasant Saturday, today has taken a turn for the worse.  Heavy rain moved in late last night and there was 0.35″ in my gauge.   There is a wind advisory in effect and radar is showing that most of th […]

Today will begin a significant warm-up with highs near 40° and overnight lows above freezing.  Unfortunately, it also means rain;  But we have filtered sunshine right now and moderate temps, so we can enjoy th […]

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 […]

Although we aren’t expecting any great amounts of snow today, we are having moderate snowfall at this time.  It began about 8 AM and has continue since then.  We have about half an inch so far and forecasts a […]

This will be one of the nicest days that we’ll have for awhile, even though we  aren’t seeing as much sun as what was predicted.  At least it will be dry with very light winds and highs in the mid 30s.  We be […]
