After a very warm Tuesday, we should expect about the same for today.  This morning is sunny and partly cloudy and there won’t be quite as much sun as yesterday.  Also, winds will be much stronger.  Clouds wi […]

This is the weather that we have been waiting for.  Yesterday was gorgeous, both upstate and here in mid Michigan.  Highs were in the low 70s with light winds.  Everything is greening up and there are more an […]

We have been in northern Michigan this weekend moving into our new trailer.  Our weather has been sunny but very chilly.  It finally warmed up a bit late yesterday to around 60°F.   Just over a week ago, they […]

Rain began early last evening and continued throughout the night.   It didn’t rain hard but just a nice, steady rain which left 0.12 in in my gauge as of 9 AM.  It continues at this time with more on the wa […]

Yesterday reached the low to mid 80s here in Mid Michigan, and with the low humidity, it was very pleasant.  It seemed good to air out the house and be able to go outdoors without a coat.  Today won’t be q […]

Mother Nature is finally giving us some seasonable weather.  Yesterday was sunny but chilly.  Today, we could see 70°F for the first time in a while.  Tomorrow will be even better with highs expected in the […]

It is very chilly once again here in Michigan but at least we know that it won’t last past this weekend.   Forecasts for next week show us above average most days.  It is getting very dry and we really need so […]

We seem to be having a very hard time warming up this spring.   Temperatures just can’t seem to remain at or near normal.  All the flowers are late and almost no leaves appearing on bushes and trees ye […]

Yesterday was almost like a summer day with our high temp reaching the low 70s.  I got to sleep with my window open last night for the first time this year.  Today, however, will be back to the 50s again and r […]

Today’s weather will be perfect with highs near 70°F and plenty of sun.  Unfortunately the rest of the week won’t be as nice.  There will be another cool down but not like earlier this month.  We could als […]

“Oh what a beautiful morning” as the song says, but this is Michigan and not Oklahoma and our weekend weather is spectacular.  Yesterday saw clear skies although there were a few cloudy hours in the […]

We have another beautiful, sunny morning.  Yesterday looked nice as skies remained clear all day,  but north winds made it a bit uncomfortable to be out there.  Regardless, it sure was nice to see the sun fo […]

We received about an inch of snow overnight but it is melting quickly with the sun.  We are expecting a lovely day with clear skies and highs in the upper 40s.  Yes, it should be about 10 degrees warmer than t […]

Today is the start of warmer temperatures which should finally be in the normal range by the weekend.  This weather is depressing.  Not only is it cold but cloudy and wet as well.  Our high temps last year at […]

Our forecast is calling for much warmer and sunny weather for the weekend.  That is certainly good news after what we have had.  Yesterday was cold and windy with sporadic rain and snow showers.  Today the su […]

We were under a winter storm warning most of yesterday as rain and freezing rain continued.  The first warning expired at noon, then another was issued later in the day.  I couldn’t understand the reason for t […]

For us, the storm wasn’t as bad as predicted.  We never did get the strong winds that they had near the western shorelines of the state, and most of the precip was rain and sleet.  I heard that the Mackinaw B […]

What a nasty morning!  The freezing rain hasn’t started yet but is on the way.  A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until tomorrow afternoon and the warning area keeps spreading southward.  I have to go to wo […]

Yesterday was a fantastic day except for the strong winds.  Highs reached the lower 70s for the first time this year, and there was plenty of sun.  But winter isn’t giving up just yet.  We have the quiet be […]

We had a very mild night which will be followed by a very warm Thursday.  Our highs could reach the mid to upper 60s for a change but unfortunately it won’t last.   We received 0.14 inches of rain ov […]
