  • This morning is sunny but very cold.  There is a thick layer of frost covering everything and temps are in the lower 20s.  Temperatures will not be nearly as mild as Saturday but at least it will be sunny.  Ye […]

  • This morning is very pleasant with temps in the mid 40s.  Although it is mostly cloudy, there are a few breaks in the cloud cover and we can see signs of color in the east with the rising sun.  Everything w […]

  • Today looks like a beautiful day, and it is.  The only exception is the wind.  I guess it isn’t too bad if one dresses warm and I may just do that and take off for a walk.  We don’t have any precip in the fo […]

  • Our Thanksgiving day should be quite uneventful in terms of weather.  We could even see a little sun later today.  This morning, however, is cloudy with a slight breeze.  Temperatures are below freezing but sh […]

  • Today and Tomorrow will see below normal temps once again, then another brief warmup for Friday and Saturday.  This is the way our weather has been most of the year.  At least there is no rain in our f […]

  • It looks like your trees are holding onto their leaves also. I can’t believe how many this late in the season, even with the winds that we have had.

  • There is a slight chance for a shower or two today, but it will be far from a washout.  At least we have a little sun this morning.  Yesterday was quite nice and there was a lot of sunshine,  but strong wi […]

  • This morning is quite breezy, the sun is shining and temperatures should be warmer than yesterday.  The scattered snow showers that we had yesterday left no trace today, and most of the upcoming week should […]

  • We had rain most of our Sunday which turned into snow in the early evening.  The ground began to cover but it didn’t last long.  The ground is still too warm for any snow to last.  We have snow flurries th […]

  • Heavy rain moved into our area late last night dumping 0.63 inches in my area.  Some areas received over an inch.  There is another round coming later today, and with falling temps, it could change to snow e […]

  • What can I say except that this is a very normal November morning for Mid Michigan.  We have cloudy skies and temps slightly above freezing.  Highs will be near the normal range and no precip is in the f […]

    My brother lives in Seattle. I’ll have to check with him to see if he lost his power. If you attended the University of Washington, you may know his wife, Dr. Rosemary Sheffield. She’s retired now but worked there quite a few years

  • This looks to be another not very nice day for Michiganders.   Strong winds picked up overnight and this morning is quite blustery.    The forecast is calling for a little sun later today but that won’t do m […]

  • Today will be a very wet and cold day.  As the radar shows, there is a large mass of precip over our state, and rain with some snow mixed in is expected to last most of the day and night.  Yesterday was f […]

  • Our Tuesday Morning is bright and cheerful, but we better enjoy it because it won’t last.  We have gloomy days in our forecast for the remainder of the week.  At least our temperature is expected to be aro […]

  • Sunday brought cloudy skies and snow changing to rain late in the day.  Since I had to work, I really didn’t care.  We won’t see much sun today either, but at least temps will be a little warmer.  It’s am […]

  • Our Sunday morning is calm but conditions will change as the day wears on.  We are expecting a mixed bag of precipitation today with rain, snow, and possibly a little freezing rain.  It won’t be a good day […]

  • Yesterday we broke a record for the coldest high temp for Nov. 10.  The old record was 28°F and yesterday’s high was only 24°F.  That isn’t exactly the kind of record that we like to see, but at least we wil […]

  • To look out the window, it looks absolutely beautiful out there, but on stepping outdoors, reality sets in.  It was only 13° when I got up this morning and it hasn’t warmed up much since then.   On the pos […]

  • Yesterday was gorgeous but very chilly.  I don’t mind the cold as long as the sun shines.  Today will be much the same  We had a heavy frost this morning and I don’t expect my remaining flowers to have su […]
