Yesterday was a perfect day although a little on the cool side.  At least it was dry, however there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow once again.  I’m hoping that it totally misses us.  Rain is a pain when on […]

We got here on Thursday and have been so busy that I haven’t had time to blog. The first day was nice but we had mostly rain yesterday and this morning.  Highs today won’t even reach 70°, but with the sun, it d […]

It seems that the 90s are gone for a while and temperatures are back to where they should be.  That’s a relief.  I don’t do well at all when temps get much above 80°F.  We received a few showers late yesterday whi […]

Yesterday was just too hot to even step outdoors with highs reaching 93°F.  Fortunately, thunderstorms will be passing through later today and bringing cooler air with it.  On the down side, there is a chance fo […]

While my area is baking in 90° temperatures, heavy storms have wreaked havoc in Michigan’s Copper Country.  My daughter lived in Houghton for three years and I’m so happy that she isn’t there now.  I have at […]

Scattered showers and thunderstorms moved across our state during the overnight leaving 0.14″ in my gauge.  Radar is still showing a few but no large amounts are expected today.  The issue this weekend will be t […]

It seems like the perfect summer morning with light breezes, bright sunlight, and low humidity.  This has been quite an extended dry spell for us and it is welcome to be sure.  With all the rain we’ve had, the l […]

This morning is cool although highs are expected to reach the low to mid 80s this afternoon.  No rain is expected over the next few days, so our lawn should have a chance to dry out.  The rain, which was in our f […]

Today won’t be as comfortable as yesterday with higher humidity and temperatures.  Monday was absolutely gorgeous with highs in the upper 70s, light winds, and very low humidity.  It was one of those days when y […]

This morning is starting out with a lot of sun and breezy conditions after a wet weekend.  Our highs should also be closer to normal than what we have had recently.   We received 0.80″ of rain Saturday and into ea […]

Today’s forecast called for a partly cloudy day, now that has changed.  I’m really getting tired of rain and I hope that the entire summer isn’t like this.  We received a total of 0.80″ from yesterday’s showers a […]

It was raining when I got up this morning and continues to do so.  There was 0.31″ in my gauge at 9 AM, and it has rained continuously since then.  I was going to finish planting my flowers but I guess that w […]

Wow!  It’s hard to believe that the longest day of the year is just two weeks away.  This year is flying by and the fact that winter didn’t end for us until mid April is probably the reason.  This is the la […]

This morning is perfect with plenty of sun and a light breeze. Highs should reach near 80°F.  Unfortunately, we have more rain coming for the weekend, something we don’t need.  We’ve been mowing the lawn ab […]

Temperatures are cool this morning but the sun is shining brightly and very little wind for a change.  Radar is showing no precip anywhere in the state and highs should be just about where they should be for […]

We can expect highs today only in the 60s.  We had scattered showers overnight with a little thunder which dropped 0.18″ of rain.  Yesterday was cloudy with very strong winds, not a pleasant day to be o […]

Yesterday was wet and chilly with strong winds most of the day.  Today will at least produce some sunlight even though windy conditions will prevail.  High temperatures will remain in the low 70s most of the w […]

I woke to the sound of raindrops this morning and there was 0.14″ in my gauge at 8:15 AM and an additional 0.07″ has fallen since then.  It seems to have stopped for now.  The possibility of more rain r […]

Temperatures in the 90s are just too hot for my liking and I’m happy to  see the cooler weather.  Highs today will only reach the mid 60s and that’s lovely as far as I’m concerned.   I usually have my gar […]
