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 […]

It seems so good to see the sun once again, but it sure isn’t doing much to warm it up.  Maybe I’m expecting too much for this time of year, but September really spoiled us.  It’s going to be interesting as t […]

Yesterday was a complete washout with nearly continuous rain and a thunderstorm in the afternoon.  The Michigan State-Penn State game was postponed for 3.5 hours and the stadium was evacuated because of […]

We had one sunny day and now back to the clouds and rain.  At least our temperatures will remain mild for the next few days.  Today is expected to be pretty much a washout so no outdoor activities are p […]

We had a total of 0.37 in overnight rainfall, and more is expected over the next few days.  This morning is gloomy and damp, but at least it isn’t as chilly as the past few days.  I’m so happy for the H […]

After waking to our first snow cover yesterday morning, today will bring warmer temperatures.  Halloween was not the best for our kids, but I don’t think they notice the cold weather as they aim for their […]

Our mornings are so dark and dreary these days.  I can’t wait to get back on standard time again.  When it’s this dark, I don’t even feel like getting out of bed.  I know that it will be dark earlier in the ev […]

Our morning is starting out with clouds and very damp conditions.  We received very light rain late Saturday afternoon, but most came overnight.  There was only 0.03″ in my gauge but everything is wet this m […]

Although we haven’t seen anything is the way of snow or sleet yet, it certainly feels cold enough for some frozen precipitation.  Yesterday brought us some light rain early in the day and there was 0.07″ in […]

We were warned by a local meteorologist that we could get a frost last night, and it did indeed happen.  There were no warnings or advisories posted since NOAA figured that the growing season is over.  I d […]

The past two days have been extremely wet with a total of 1.84″of rain  since Monday.  After a very dry September, Mother Nature decided to remedy the rain deficit all at once.  The Upper Peninsula had hu […]

Today is beginning with very mild temperatures and mostly cloudy skies.  There is heavy rain showing on radar but it hasn’t reached us as yet.  Many areas of the state are under flood watches and warnings in a […]

Tonight will bring the leading edge of a cold front which will take our temperatures to a normal range by mid week.  Today will still be wonderful but by Wednesday, it will be down right cold.  But what can I […]

Yesterday’s weather was outstanding, and today should be very similar.  It’s going to be hard to part with this autumn’s weather when normalcy finally reaches us.  I’m seeing that the extended forecast is no l […]
