When I got up at shortly after 8 this morning, my thermometer read -4°F.  That’s the coldest that we have seen in quite awhile.  We had light to moderate snow showers early Saturday that left us with an ad […]

There was 1.5 inches of snow cover when I got us this morning and I think it has increased to 2 by now.  It continues to come down and radar is showing that it won’t be ending anytime soon.  There is nothing l […]

We received just enough snow to turn the ground white, about quarter of an inch.  It does seem brighter out his morning even with the clouds.  Our forecast is calling for a little sun later and that will p […]

We were under a freezing rain advisory Tuesday although freezing mist was what we got.  It began late in the morning and continued most of the day.  Many of the schools are closed today and areas just to our n […]

This morning began with plenty of sun and temperatures in the low teens.  We now have a little cloud cover and temperatures have moderated a bit.  We don’t expect to  see the 40s anytime soon but at least we do […]

Winter Storm Gia is moving eastward and will be affecting the nation’s capitol today.  The southwest portions of our state received up to 3 inches in various places but nothing here in Mid-Michigan.  The f […]

Our local meteorologist was talking about our lack of snow since November.   It has certainly been unusually dry since then with just trace amounts of snow lately.  October and November brought more snow than wh […]

We won’t see high temperatures in the 30s again until Saturday, then  they should moderate through next week.  January has been very quiet for my area with not much precipitation and no drastically cold t […]

Yesterday saw highs in the 50s once again with intermittent rain showers in my area.  Winds were the big issue with gusts reaching 50 mph in some areas.  There was freezing rain and snow in the counties north of u […]

We have cloudy skies, strong winds and a trace of mixed precipitation this morning.  So far, most of this current winter storm has remained to our north and we have received very little in terms of […]

The past two days have been wonderful but reality will begin to set in later today and tomorrow.  There is a winter “mess” coming soon bringing a little of everything . . . . rain, snow, and freezing rain.  I […]

It really doesn’t get any better than this for a January day.  Yesterday reached 50°F in many places and clear skies all day long.  It was wonderful.  Today is expected to bring much of the same although not qui […]

This is something that we haven’t had for a long time.  Usually when it warms up, we get rain.  This morning is sunny with temps right around the freezing  mark.  Highs should reach the mid 40s and that should mel […]

The new year came in wet and soggy here in southern Michigan.  We had rain almost all day leaving 0.68″ in my rain gauge.  The northern half of the lower peninsula  received up to 9 inches of snow with some fr […]

We received about half and inch of new snow overnight and highs yesterday never rose above freezing.  Once again we have a white landscape to brighten our world.  Yesterday was dry and we even saw a little sun e […]

Yesterday was very spring-like with highs in the 50s.  As the day went on, however, temperatures continued to drop and we received a trace of snow overnight.  Highs today probably won’t even reach freezing.  Ye […]

It feels like a spring morning out there today with temperatures hovering around 50°F.  Too bad that we don’t have some sunshine with it.  I know that the dogs appreciate it.  They weren’t in a big hurry to com […]

We had a trace of snow on the ground early Tuesday morning, but it increased to almost an inch by late afternoon.  It was so pretty.  This morning is cloudy but with no wind, it doesn’t  feel bad out there at al […]

Although we only received half an inch, it looks very white out there.  Our high today is expected to only rise to around freezing, so it may last until tomorrow.   Local weather gurus are saying that there has to […]

No, we will not  have a white Christmas this year and to tell the truth, I don’t really care.  I’m hearing rumors of a big snowstorm heading our way for the end of the week, but nothing certain at this time.  I gu […]
