Since last Wednesday, we received a total of 3.38″ of rain.  I think that would put an end to the rain deficit.  This morning is starting out with mostly cloudy skies but I can see clearing coming from the w […]

Well, I would think that our drought is over with all of the rain that we have received the past week, and another round expected tomorrow.  This morning is dreary although not raining presently.  We had r […]

Our Wednesday morning is beginning with light to moderate rain showers.  I emptied 0.54″ from my gauge at 8 AM this morning and it has been raining ever since.    It appears that this will last most of the day […]

We have been under drought conditions over the past month, and the past few days have put a dent in it.  Rain amounts on Thursday, Friday, and yesterday have totaled just under an inch in my  area and it was b […]

We are finally getting some much needed rain. We received 0.27″ yesterday, and another 0.35″ overnight.   Radar is showing that it is far from over and that’s good news, although today shouldn’t be a total w […]

This morning really looked and felt like autumn.  The highs yesterday were still well above normal, but the overnight low was right on the mark.  There still hasn’t been a frost here but I don’t think that i […]

We have overcast skies this morning but no rain so far.  Last night was very warm with a low only at 70°F and the AC running all night.  Radar is showing a few light showers heading our way but light at be […]

We just couldn’t ask for nicer weather than what we are having.  There is rain in the forecast over the next several days but we actually could use it.  We should see temps in the 80s this afternoon and that s […]

We have another heat wave on the way for the next several days and I’m loving it.  Yesterday was quite nice with comfortable temperatures and sun most of the day.  I love this type of weather in October which is m […]

I shouldn’t be surprised with this weather since it is closer to normal than what we had a week ago.  I’ve noticed that the colors haven’t changed much since we left 10 days ago.   I guess that the 90 degree we […]

Last night was very chilly with frost advisories and lows falling below freezing in some spots.  We did have some spotty showers yesterday afternoon but skies cleared later in the day.  We are heading back home t […]

We finally received some rain overnight, but since I have no rain gauge here, I’m not sure how much.  The closest CoCoRahs station that I could find was Mackinaw City, and they reported 0.16 inches.  Other s […]

Today is starting out with very cool temps and plenty of sun.  We had to run the furnace last night as it got down into the 40s.  We should see a rebound to the mid 60s by this afternoon, but rain is also a p […]

We will finally have some comfortable weather today and an end to the abnormal heat wave.  It will seem good to  me.  We took a drive to Petoskey yesterday to see my brother-in-law in the hospital there, then we […]

Today should be the last for this heat wave and I’m thankful for it.  Other than Sunday, when we were out on the lake all afternoon, it’s been a struggle for me.  I don’t tolerate heat well, especially for long p […]
