I’m seeing where northern lower Michigan has about one inch of snow cover.  As for us, we had a graupel shower while I was out this morning. It didn’t last long but it happened.  It is mostly cloudy but the s […]

The only bright thing about today is my lovely yellow maple tree.  It always hangs onto it’s leaves longer than most others, and gives us something brilliant about an otherwise gloomy day.  Temperatures a […]

A cloudy morning became a partly cloudy afternoon.  Although it is quite chilly, the sun makes it seem more pleasant.  Today is the first of what appears to be a lengthy stretch of cool weather.  I’m not se […]

Today is really quite nice.  It is warm enough to go out without a jacket and we are seeing the sun often.  Can’t complain at all.  We do have a chance for some rain but it’s been dry so far.  It is a bit bre […]

We received a little over an inch of rain yesterday and last night.  The rain is continuing this morning but it is not expected to last all day.  At least that’s what the forecast says.  Looking at the ra […]

Yesterday was wonderful.  We had sunny skies with just a few thin clouds occasionally.  Temperatures made it into the upper 70s.  We sat out on the deck last night and temperatures remained in the 70s until la […]

It seemed so good to sleep with the window open last night.  We won’t have many more like that, and this warm spell could be our last one this year.  I’m hoping for more right into November, and it has h […]

Yesterday was lovely.  We had plenty of sun, light breezes, and temperatures were comfortable, near normal for this date.  It was nice just to get out for a ride and take in the fall colors.  Today will be mu […]

After a cold and damp Saturday, our Sunday is shaping up quite nicely.  We only got a few drops of rain yesterday as most of the showers passed to our south and west.   It was cloudy all day however.  Ove […]

We just can’t seem to be rid of this rain pattern.  we have a little sun this morning but it isn’t expected to last.  We had quite a bit of rain yesterday and there is a chance for more this afternoon.  It […]

There was 0.47″ of rain in my gauge early this morning, and we have received another 0.17″ since then.  It doesn’t seem to be raining right now but radar shows more to come.  At least the temperatures are c […]

The rain began around 9AM and has continued since.  Yesterday was quite nice although the sun didn’t last much past noon.  But temperatures were mild and we even got some of the lawn mowed.  Next week is su […]

We never did get our sunshine yesterday.  It peeked out a couple of times for about 15 seconds, and that was it.  Someone once told me that the Lansing, MI area is one of the cloudiest places in the US, and I […]

We have overcast skies once again but we should see a little sun later, if the local weather gurus are correct.  It shouldn’t be too bad of a day with fairly mild temps and light winds.  Seeing the sun would d […]

I doesn’t look like we will get much, if any sun today.  At least no rain is in our forecast, and tomorrow is supposed to be mostly sunny.  We did get some rain late yesterday and overnight, but only 0.15″ w […]

After a cloudy, wet Saturday, we are blessed with a little sun this morning.  Skies are mostly cloudy but just enough breaks in the clouds to let us know that the sun is alive and well.  We had light rain m […]

It rained most of the night after yesterday’s intermittent sprinkles.  There was a little over half an inch in my gauge at 8:30, and it’s been raining since then.  We have continued light rain at this time a […]

It isn’t a very nice day at all.  Radar is showing a lot of rain over us and still more coming.  None of it is heavy, just enough to be miserable.  I wouldn’t mind it if it was just warmer.  Our tem […]

We have dense fog to deal with this morning.  There was a little water in my rain gauge but I’m sure it was just condensation.  I’m seeing sun trying to appear through the fog so I think it will burn off q […]

After a drizzly day on Tuesday, today was supposed to be much better.  It looks like the sun is trying to shine but still too many clouds in the way.  It was supposed to be partly cloudy this afternoon, and i […]
