I just read yesterday that El Nina is strengthening, and that a milder winter will probably happen for us here in the north.  If so, I wish it would happen soon.  The temperatures that we have been having are m […]

With our normal temperature for this date in the upper 40s, we aren’t seeing anything close to that, and no real warmups are in the forecast anytime soon.  At least we should see a little more sun over this […]

We have another cloudy day but it seems brighter than what it has been.  Highs today will remain in the 30s and we could see a little sun later on.   My husband is in the hospital with vertigo and other pr […]

We received about 1.5 inches of snow total yesterday but by mid day, it was gone.  Another quarter inch fell overnight and that is sticking so far.  On the positive side, it brightens up the landscape and it d […]

When I got up this morning, we had about half and inch of snow cover, now it’s about 1 to 1.5 inches.  It is heavy and wet so I’m happy that it isn’t more than that, however it is still coming down.    It is rea […]

We could see a couple inches of snowfall this weekend.  Some areas of the U.P.  already have 5-6 inches on the ground, and although we aren’t expecting that much here, our world could be very white Saturday and S […]

Everyone going out to vote today will be battling rain and wind.  It will not be a nice day at all.  What’s even worse is that temps will continue to fall all week with highs by week’s end only in the 30s.  I’m st […]

Yesterday was my birthday, and I spent most of it in the hospital  , and I wasn’t even working.  I went in early yesterday morning with chest pain, and my  husband went in later with severe vertigo (d […]

This past October has been one of the wettest that I can remember.  There were very few days that we didn’t get some rain and even fewer where we saw the sun.  I am hoping that November will be better but it c […]

The kids lucked out last night with a very nice Halloween night.  What began as a rainy, dark day turned into a very nice evening.  Highs were in the 50s and the skies cleared up just in time for the trick or t […]

More rain is in our forecast for today so we aren’t expecting much, if any, sun.  Radar is showing a large area of rain moving across the state although it doesn’t appear to be too heavy.  Yesterday had i […]

This is not a pretty morning and it is expected to be this way all weekend.  There was 0.02 in of rain in my gauge at 8 AM, and light rain will continue most of our Saturday and into Sunday.  At least there a […]

We are back to cloudy skies for the next few days, but the sun sure was nice Wednesday and Thursday.  Actually, yesterday turned out to be mostly cloudy but there was hardly any wind and highs were in the low 50s […]

We have a sunny morning but it isn’t expected to last.  Clouds will move in this afternoon but temperatures should reach the low 50s with light winds.  That sounds like a pretty nice day to me.  We are ex […]

Most of my flowers are dead but the mums and snapdragons are still hanging on.  It’s time to start cleaning out the gardens and get ready for winter.  It seems to be coming early this year since we have had b […]

Our morning is beginning with light breezes and clear skies, but our forecast is calling for yet another cold front moving in and giving us clouds and more wind.  What an October this has been.  We can only hope t […]

Today will be one of the warmest days that we’ll have this week with highs expected in the mid 50s.  Then another cold front will descend on us from Canada and highs will only reach the 40s.  This entire month h […]

Yesterday was one of those days where we had all of our seasons mixed into one.  We began the day with sun, then the clouds rolled in, and soon it started to rain.  At first it was just a shower, then it i […]

This Saturday morning is beautiful with clear skies and fairly mild temperatures.  Unfortunately, the forecast for later today isn’t as nice.  That “S” word is even in the forecast but no real accumulations are e […]
