Yesterday was quite pleasant although a bit breezy.  The wind even felt mild compared to this past week.  We should continue to see temps that are above normal for the next 4-5 days and that will be w […]

The big story yesterday was the meteor on Tuesday evening.  It caused a very large “boom” which registered as 2 on the Richter scale.  Many claimed that it shook their houses.  I saw the flash through my wi […]

It seems that Mother Nature turned on the snow machine and forgot to turn it off.  It has snowed now for the past 5 days . . . . . not huge amounts, just enough to keep the roads slippery.   We received an […]

We woke to a world of hoar frost this Sunday morning, and beautiful it is!    Along with the beauty are very cold temperatures.  At least we are expecting warmer temps for this upcoming week.  Yesterday brou […]

It doesn’t seem like we even lost our snow from previously but I guess it’s a good thing that we did.   We received four inches yesterday, exactly what we lost in the thaw.  We also have the frigid te […]

Rain, freezing rain mixed with snow this morning.  At least that’s what was predicted but that’s not what is happening.  Most of the precip that we have is snow . . . . two inches so far and still snowing at a […]

Wednesday was not a pretty day with fog and drizzle.  All of our snow is gone except for where the snow banks are.  Our Temperatures were on the rise all night and there was 0.05″ in my rain gauge this m […]

We better enjoy these next few day because there is another blast of cold air heading our way.  Temperatures will be warm enough today and tomorrow that I expect that we’ll lose almost all of our snow.  We h […]

We received a little over two inches of wet, heavy snow overnight giving us a total of 6 inches of ground cover at this time.  Our present temperature is slightly above the freezing mark and it feels very […]

Finally, the frigid air is being replaced by more seasonable temperatures.  This coming week could see highs in the 40s and that will seem very balmy compared to what we’ve been having.  This morning is c […]

It finally looks like we may be getting a much needed warmup.  Temps next week are expected to be in the 30s and could even reach into the 40s.  That will feel absolutely balmy after what we have had.  To […]

The deep freeze continues, not only in Michigan, but most of the eastern U.S.  There is even snow in the forecast for northern Florida.  So Mother Nature has certainly made life miserable for many of us.  So […]

Our 2018 is beginning with calm but very chilly temperatures.  Unfortunately, there is no reprieve anytime soon from the frigid weather that has affected us for the past couple of weeks.  At least there are n […]

Our New Year’s Eve day will be calm but very frigid.  The high is expected to only reach the single digits.  I hope that everyone stays safe through the weekend as there will be a lot of drinking going on, a […]

There seems to be no end to these snow showers.  Every day we pick up another 1/2 inch or so, just enough to keep roads icy.  Most is lake effect.  We currently have  about 4 inches of snow cover.  Our temp […]

We had light snow most of Thursday and we gained another half inch of snow cover.  We now have about three inches.  This morning actually felt warm with no wind and the overnight low didn’t fall below zero f […]

This bitterly cold weather is getting old.  I can’t remember when it has been this cold for such an extended period of time, and there is no end in sight.  The snow doesn’t bother me that much, but I hate t […]

We haven’t had weather this cold in several years.  In fact, the past two have been quite mild.  We had sun most of yesterday but it certainly didn’t feel any warmer.  Highs barely made it out of the single di […]

We had snow most of Sunday and even Christmas Day.  Between the two days, we have about 4 inches of snow cover.  Today is sunny but it does nothing to make going outdoors more bearable.  It was -6°F when I got […]
