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 […]

Friday was a drizzly, damp, gloomy day, but the temperature dropped enough at night to turn the rain into snow.  We only received about 1/10 of an inch but at least it brightened up the landscape a bit.   Highs to […]

When I got up this morning at around 7:45, we had light sprinkles..  Since that time it has turned into a steady light rain.  The forecast was for rain after 10 AM so it arrived early.  Our temperatures are re […]

The fog has finally dissipated after three days.  Skies began to clear yesterday in the late afternoon and the humidity dropped.  There is no precipitation in our forecast but I doubt that we’ll see much sun e […]

Visibility is about 1/4 of a mile right now and a freezing fog advisory is in effect.  I went out on my deck this morning and it was not slippery although there was a little ice on the railings.  The water in my r […]

There was 0.54 in in my rain gauge this morning after a night of rain and freezing rain.  Thankfully, there wasn’t much ice accumulation and the issue now is fog.  The rain is expected to end this morning, then b […]

We have hazy sunshine this morning with a little fog and temperatures aren’t too bad.  There was some very light snow last night which barely left a trace on my deck.  There was also a heavy frost and it’s d […]
