It is not a pretty day for those driving home from their holiday venues.  We had quite a bit of rain late yesterday and overnight.  There was 0.35″ in my rain gauge, and quite a few lightning strikes on my w […]

We had a campfire last night and the weather was perfect.  Temps were nice with a light jacket, no mosquitoes, and clear skies with plenty of stars.  We were even serenaded by coyotes, and saw the I […]

Our morning began with some thunder and a little rain.  Now the sky has partially cleared.  It looks to be a decent day and temperatures will reach the mid to upper 70s.  I think the rain is finished for no […]

Mother Nature isn’t giving us a break from severe weather this weekend.  Even my area could see some strong storms tomorrow and tomorrow night.  Today should be a winner  with warm temps and plenty of su […]

Yesterday was sunny and very warm, but the strong wind made it unpleasant to be outdoors.  Today is much better and it won’t be quite as warm as yesterday.  I’m happy to have the AC off and my windows o […]

The weather service has us, as well as much of the mid portions of the country,  targeted for severe weather today.  What’s worse is that my area is expecting it late tonight or early tomorrow morning.  Ye […]

A large thunderstorm just missed us.  We were in Owosso shopping, and it appeared that they got a lot of it.  As for us, we had a few sprinkles.  I’m glad that it held off until we got home.  There is not […]

Today was supposed to be a little cooler than yesterday, but our temps have already surpassed yesterday . . . . and it’s still early.  At least we have a breeze today, but even with a breeze, I had to turn on […]

Today will be very warm with highs expected to reach the mid 80s  We had scattered thunderstorms develop across the state late yesterday, and there was a lot of thunder, but not much rain . . . . . at least […]

Our morning began with clear skies, but clouds are now beginning to look stormy although no rain is on the radar as yet.  No severe weather is expected for us today.  A little rain would be nice for the f […]

Today is about as perfect as you can get: light winds, comfortable temperatures, and plenty of sun.  There is some rain on the way but not until tonight.  This is just a good day to spend outdoors.

Our 2 […]

It’s a beautiful day in Mid Michigan with clear skies, mild temperatures, and a nice breeze.  Highs were suppose to be in the upper 60s, but we’ve managed to make it to the 70° mark.  Yesterday was chilly bu […]

After temperatures reaching into the low 80s yesterday, today is much cooler and no sun so far.  We had a weather statement yesterday afternoon saying that a strong thunderstorm was heading our way, with pea […]

Our morning began with clear skies and a bit breezy.  We did get some rain overnight and my weather station is showing some lightning strikes, although I slept through it.  We could get more storms today but n […]

The weather couldn’t be any nicer.  Skies are almost clear with light breezes, and temperatures will be comfortable.  My kids were all home and we went to church, then out for brunch around noon.  Just go […]

Last night’s northern lights have been the talk this morning.  Some areas saw them better than others, but they filled most of the sky.  There wasn’t much color to what we saw, but they showed up much better o […]

There is rain approaching from the south, so looks like we may get a little wet today.  We could actually use about a month with no rain.  Our back property hasn’t dried out in almost a year.  It makes mo […]

I heard that there were seven tornadoes late yesterday which struck the southwest corner of our state.   There was only supposed to be a very slight chance of severe weather, and even a lesser chance for t […]

Today could be another stormy one for parts of the country, including us.  It does appear that the storms should diminish in strength as they head our way.  Hopefully that will happen.  Tornadoes made a me […]
