Yesterday turned out to be a nice day after the morning rain subsided.  Today looks to be another winner with no rain in the forecast.  Our temperatures have cooled off to a comfortable level although  highs in […]

Today started out with a little sun, but it didn’t take long for the clouds to start rolling in.  I ran into a light shower on the way to church, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t pouring when I g […]

We couldn’t have asked for a lovelier Saturday.  The sun is bright, temps are in the mid 70s and there is a light breeze.  Perfect in my book.   What’s even better is that there is just a slight chance for rai […]

After plenty of rain over the past two days, today should be a bit cooler and more comfortable.  Although we didn’t get any severe weather, there was flooding in some areas of the state, and we certainly don’t […]

Last night brought thunderstorms, but they didn’t do much to cool us off.   The threat of severe weather looms over us today, so we’ll have to keep our eye to the sky this afternoon.   Hopefully, there won’t be […]

For a change, my area got some much needed rain.  There was just under an inch in my gauge this morning and rain remains in the forecast for this afternoon.   Some areas had severe weather but we were lucky an […]

Yesterday was gorgeous and today should be just as nice.  I tried to go without the AC but broke down and turned it on late in the afternoon.  Today we should see highs in the mid 80s.  It’s hard to believe th […]

We couldn’t have lovelier weather for our July 4th holiday.  Temps will be very comfortable and clear skies all day.  It will be a quiet one for us since my kids aren’t able to be here this year.  That’s the pr […]

Many storms passed us by yesterday, but our temperatures were comfortable and there was a nice breeze.  We didn’t need the AC which is always nice.  I really prefer to have my windows open and listen to the s […]

There were numerous thunderstorms in Michigan yesterday, but they all managed to miss my area.  Pictured is one of the storms which passed to our west.  At the same time, another was passing to our east but we d […]

The only rain that we received on Friday were a few, widespread drops that were barely noticeable.  The southern counties and the thumb area of the state had some pretty strong thunderstorms but I haven’t heard […]

This has been a strange summer for us.  There is too much rain, very few hot days, and too much wind.  I thought that by now the weather pattern would change, but it doesn’t seem to be.   There was heavy rai […]

Our morning was beautiful but now clouds are rolling in.   We’re expecting rain by tonight but nothing severe.  We didn’t get the rain down here that the northern counties of our state got, but we still don’t ne […]

Monday was a complete wash-out with rain all day.  Yes, we got a few breaks that lasted about 15 mins, but then more rain.  Highs never even reached 60°F and that was almost 20° below normal.  But what can I […]

Woke this morning to the sound of rain on the roof, not a pleasant sound when you are camping.  My storm radar is showing no letup until around noon.  Then, off-and-on showers continuing throughout the day.  Th […]

I’ve seen the pictures of washed-out roads following Friday’s heavy rains in mid Michigan.  The Mt. Pleasant area, as well as other surrounding areas, received up to 8 inches of rain and many farmers already […]

Yesterday was just as nice as Thursday was awful.  We lucked out here in northern Michigan, as well as at home.  Our total rainfall at home was 0.84 inches while the mid portions of lower Michigan recorded as m […]

After our Thursday being almost a complete wash out, today is absolutely wonderful.   The rain, which was supposed to continue into this morning, ended during the early evening, and we were able to have a c […]

Although they are saying that today won’t be a total washout, one would be a bit skeptical looking at the radar.  We haven’t had much rain so far, but it looks like there is a lot more on the way.  it rained f […]

This morning is bright but chilly.  Our trip yesterday was uneventful and we made good time with very little traffic.  we did run into a little rain on the way up but just a few sprinkles.  Today should be a ni […]
