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 […]

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 […]
