  • Yesterday, we spent the afternoon on my in-law’s pontoon boat  on Mullet lake in Cheboygan.  It was wonderful.  The temperature was near 90°, but it was very comfortable out on the lake.  With it so late in the […]

  • Yesterday was another hot one with highs reaching the 90s once again.  This weather is unbelievable.  I guess I shouldn’t complain as it could be cold and rainy.   This is the final weekend for this campground and […]

  • Yesterday was stifling with temps in the low 90s and very humid conditions.  This is just unreal for late September in Michigan, but especially in northern Michigan.  Normally highs are only in the 60s this time o […]

  • I’m doing my blog here this morning since I am unable to access Weather Together.  Our weather is quite eventful, not only the heat but the strange thunderstorms that formed at home yesterday.  A fairly large b […]

  • It seems that August and September have switched this year.  We had below normal temps most of August and now that September is here, we continue to have temperatures that are much above normal.  I can’t e […]

  • Radar is showing some rain headed our way, and we could certainly use it.  With the unseasonable heat that we have had, everything is drying out and lawns are brown.  I think we are making up for our cool A […]

    • Hi Cathie! Just read your bio, thanks for posting, I enjoyed reading it. Believe me, this blogging here is a lot of fun, and always a challenge, I am always learning something new. Right now, I was just trying to send you a general message, and this method here seems to be the only way I am seeing right now. I have tried Live Chat but it always tells me I must be a registered member, but I have been a registered member for a while now and if I say so, one of the more prolific bloggers here. I always enjoy feedback, but as is usually the case I don’t get much feedback except from Charlie. I need to work on getting more old weatherquackers on here, some may not know about it yet – Nathan said he messaged Josh sometime ago, but he still hasn’t shown up here at all yet. I miss his posts. I hope you will see this reply, and can reply back sometime. I have to check the bloggers map and see if you made it on there yet. As a lifelong professional cartographer I always enjoy and appreciate the depiction of data or information on a good map. Jeff Taylor is also a cartographer, we have a lot of similar interests and have known each other for over 20 years. Take care, Kevin

  • We had a dry thundershower last night, something quite rare for our area.  We had a moderate but brief shower earlier which left us with 0.02 inches in my gauge.  Today is much cooler with highs struggling to r […]

  • I’m afraid that we’ll be getting that next week on our last camping trip for the year. Please keep it there until Oct. 1.

  • It seems strange to be using the AC this late in the season, but highs are reaching the low to  mid 80s.  There are thunderstorms in our forecast for later today and I hope that we do get some rain.  It’s been a […]

  • We are still enjoying a week’s worth of mid summer weather and I love it.  I just hope it continues until the end of the month.  We are seeing more color every day and some think that this is happening early t […]

  • It seem good to be wearing short pants and short sleeved shirts once again . . . . . .and having the windows open.  This is expected to continue all of this week and I sure hope into next.  We are leaving for n […]

  • Now that Hurricane Irma is pretty much history, her remnants are heading for us although it won’t have much affect on our weather.  We do have rain in the forecast for today but is isn’t expected to amount to […]

  • Now that Irma has become a tropical storm and no longer a threat to Florida, we can relax a bit,.  All the people that I know are okay and not too much damage.  That’s amazing consider the strength of this s […]

  • It’s hard to think about anything else these days with friends and relatives facing this horrible hurricane in Florida.  I know so many people there, many snowbirds and others who live there year round.  T […]

  • Today, although still on the chilly side, is a big improvement from the past two days.  At least our high should be in the upper 60s, and with the sun, that will feel comfortable.  We received about half an inch o […]

  • Sept. 8, 2017: Today is very chilly in Mid Michigan. Our high is about 10°F below where it should be for this date. I’m hoping that our entire autumn season isn’t this way. We have our last camping trip in two weeks and I certainly hope that the temperatures are at least normal. Yesterday brought a significant shower which dumped 0.20…[Read more]
