It seems a bit strange to have such an extended period of dry weather at this time of the year here in Michigan.  This is usually our rainy/stormy time of year.  There isn’t any rain in the forecast until n […]

This morning is very chilly with temps in the teens.  We did have a lovely sunrise which compensates a bit, but it would certainly be nice for warmer weather to arrive.  Our snow is gone except for shady a […]

After all the snow that we have had, it seems strange to have clear, dry weather for so many days in a row.  Now the forecast is saying no precip until next Tuesday.  We still have small patches of snow w […]

While much of the eastern US are reeling from storms of one kind or another, Michigan is quite tranquil but very chilly.  I guess we can’t complain.  Another nor’easter is knocking on the door of the eastern s […]

After a two day reprieve from cooler than normal weather, we once again have to dealing with cool Canadian air.  At least we got rid of the remaining snow and our weather should continue to be dry over the […]

This will definitely be the pick day of the week with plenty of sun and temps reaching the mid 50s.  I even got the bug to  bring out some of my outdoor furniture.  Maybe I’m rushing things a bit but I will pr […]

Our Saturday is starting out with clear skies but very cold temperatures.  Our high today should be in the normal range with plenty of sun, so I’m expecting that most, if not all, of our snow will be gone by […]

Our snow is gone except for patches here and there, and there is no precipitation in our forecast for the next week.  There are also no normal temperatures  in the forecast next week.  Although we aren’t re […]

The Nor’easters that are affecting the eastern seaboard are keeping Michigan in the deep freeze.  We’ll be lucky to see temps above freezing over the next few days.  At least there isn’t anymore snow in the f […]

Once again we are plagued with snow.  NOAA online is predicting around an inch for us, but local weather stations are saying 1-3 inches.  I think everyone is tired of snow and would welcome a lasting s […]

In spite of the cool temperatures, our snow cover is  slowly melting away.  Unfortunately,  there is more snow on the way for Monday and Tuesday.  Although only light accumulations are expected, we know how […]

It seem good to see the sun this morning even with the cold temperatures.  We received a trace of snow yesterday but that appears to be over for our weekend.  We won’t see any major warming until next w […]

This week won’t even bring temperatures at our normal range with highs only in the 30s.  I guess we are stuck with this snow for a week anyway. We had intermittent snow showers yesterday but not much […]

There seems to be no end to this weather.  Just when we think that spring is here, Mother Nature reminds us that it is still too early for flowers and butterflies.  We had intermittent snow showers all day W […]

They said that we were only supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow and once again they were wrong.  The heavy snow was supposed to remain east of us.  In fact, we weren’t even in the snow advisory area.  So why do […]

We received a trace of snow overnight and light snow continues at this time.  The forecast isn’t predicting any great amounts but we could see an inch by day’s end.   We aren’t expecting to be affected by th […]

Yesterday was a beautiful day and today should be just as nice.  We have been blessed with above average temperatures most of the past month and extended forecasts are predicting that this will continue […]

The snow that we received yesterday was short-lived and this weekend is expected to be a winner.  Although temperatures will be a bit cool, they will still be above average and with the sun, it will be a nice […]

We only received 1.5 inches of snow yesterday which melted down to 20.0 inches.  It was very wet and it is sticking to everything this morning, and with the sun shining, it is very pretty.  I’m happy that we d […]

Once again, our world will be white.   A winter storm, that has caused much uncertainty over the past few days, will be arriving later today.  It will start as rain then turn to snow as temperatures drop.  At […]
