We received a few snow showers yesterday leaving us with an additional 0.03 ” of new snow.  Our ground cover is about 2.5 inches at this time and another round of snow is expected this weekend although just an […]

The picture was taken in Houghton, MI.

For those who love snow, they have to be in paradise this year.  It just won’t quit!  Pictures from the U.P. are unbelievable.  I posted some on my Facebook page taken by […]

Yesterday was a miserable day in Michigan as well as other states to our south.  We had wind gusts up to 60 mph in places and significant snowfall in some areas.  We only received about an inch of new snow, but O […]

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 […]

Our highs today will be right around freezing and we are under a winter weather advisory, with snow, rain, and freezing rain expected.  So far, there has been nothing and it looks like most is remaining to our […]

Yesterday was very nice although temperatures only made it into the mid 20s.  There was plenty of sun and hardly any wind.  Then a beautiful full super moon topped it off last night.  Today will be about the sa […]

The snow began yesterday around 1 PM and we had whiteout conditions at times.  It is light and fluffy, so easy to shovel.  We received 3 inches of new snow and our snow cover is now about 5.2 inches.  There is st […]

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 […]

There are no more storms knocking on our door at the present time, and we can look forward to dry conditions over the next 3-4 days.  At least that’s what our local weather peple are saying.  This NOAA forecast i […]

We had a one-day respite from winter yesterday with highs reaching the low to mid 40s.  We lost about half our snow cover but now what is left is hard and crusty.    We just had a brief snow squall move thr […]

Altogether, this storm left us with about 5 inches of snow cover.   We were lucky and didn’t get much if any freezing rain like many other areas did.  All advisories for my area have expired although we could st […]

We received 2.5 inches of snow overnight and I woke to sleet.  There didn’t seem to be any freezing rain however.  Most schools are closed and we are expecting the wrap around effect of this storm to hit later o […]

Once again, we are under a winter storm watch from midnight tonight into tomorrow morning.  There seems to be no end to this.  This is expected to include snow, sleet and freezing rain, much like we had a week a […]

Saturday was a gorgeous day with clear skies all day and fairly light winds.  Today is cloudy but temps are still fairly mild and there is no precipitation in the forecast until tonight.  I understand that there a […]

It was a joy to see the sun this morning.  Unfortunately,  I can’t say much for our temperatures.  Single digits were the norm.  We had numerous  lake effect snow squalls which left us with half an inch of new […]

I am so tired of ice.  My deck is like a skating rink especially since my son shoveled most of the sleet off yesterday.  Now where the sleet is gone, it’s pure smooth ice.  Our highs today should reach the mid 40 […]

This is really a yucky morning and I’m so glad that I don’t have to go out in it.  My deck had about a half inch of sleet  topped with freezing rain this morning and there was 0.59 ” in my rain gauge after I t […]

We lost almost all of our snow except where the snow piles were from shoveling and plowing.  I’m hearing that there is another storm knocking on our door, but this one will be a combination of rain, snow, sleet, […]
