Today will still be a bit chilly, but temperatures will continue to rise as the week goes on.  We should see highs in the 50s most of the week, and hopefully, that will rid us of the rest of this ice.  There are s […]

Today really feels like winter.  We are having off and on snow squalls which only last a few minutes,  but are heavy enough to affect visibility for those out driving.  We aren’t going to see much warming today an […]

We don’t have a very nice St. Paddy’s day here in Michigan.  Temperatures have been dropping since early this morning, and we are seeing light snow flurries.  The winds are brutal and it is not a nice day to b […]

We are expecting a good amount of rain for later today, tonight, and part of tomorrow.  I’m hoping that it will be warm enough to finally melt the large patch of ice that we have in our front yard.  Some has m […]

It warmed up enough yesterday to melt most of our snow.  We still have a few icy patches where the sun doesn’t shine, but the snow is gone.  We are expecting highs in the 50s the next few days and rain.  I’m ho […]

We had light snow showers all day on Monday but not much in accumulations.  Much of it melted but I estimate that we have about 1-2 inches of snow cover at this time.  Today will be a bit brighter and hopefully, w […]

I wasn’t expecting this much snow overnight, but regardless, here it is.  We had 1.3 inches at 8:30 this morning, and I know we’ve gotten another inch since then.  Light snow continues at this time.  We are su […]

We woke to another half inch of snow this morning, but now most has melted.  I don’t think that we’ll see temps much over the freezing mark today, so our ice pack remains.  I’ve referred to it as our “glacier” b […]

To look outdoors today, no one would know that we had 3 inches a few days ago.  All of that snow is now gone and the sun is working on the partial ice cover that we still have from our past ice storm.  It isn’t q […]

The snow began close to midnight and continued all night.  We woke to a white landscape this morning with about 3 inches of new snow.  It has been snowing since then but mainly just flurries.  A winter weather ad […]

This is the third weekend where a snowy weather system is about to drop 3-6 inches of snow on us.  This is getting to be a habit, one that we are getting tired of.  We still have some ice patches that haven’t m […]

We still have a little snow on the ground, mainly where there were snowbanks and shade.  Temperatures will still be above freezing today so hopefully, it will all be gone before we get the next storm this […]

After a rainy / snowy Monday, our Tuesday is bright and sunny.  We did receive about 1.5″ of snow overnight, but most has already melted.  High temperatures will reach to near average today and this round of s […]

We had a light rain/snow mix overnight which left a trace of snow on the deck this morning  It melted down to 0.03″ of precip.  We now have light rain and most of the snow is gone except for where the snowbanks w […]

Slowly, our snow is melting away.  We still have about an inch or two, depending where you measure.  There is quite a bit of bare ground showing now and I expect to lose a lot more of it today.  The day began wi […]

Unlike many other places in Michigan, I’d say we got off quite easy with this latest winter storm.  We only got about 5 inches, and with the sun out, it’s melting pretty fast.  Counties south of us got more snow a […]

We are currently under a Winter Storm Warning, and the amount of snow that we can expect, depends on who you listen to.  NOAA, who is usually quite conservative, is saying that we could get up to 10 inches, but […]

We have another winter storm knocking on our door.  At least this one is supposed to be snow, not ice.  Estimated totals are six to eight inches for my area.  At least most of the ice cover is gone thanks to th […]

We should see our temperatures rise today enough to get rid of most of the ice on the ground.  We lost quite a bit yesterday, and it was slushy enough to be plow-able.  The grader went down the road and removed m […]

We had freezing rain yesterday morning which turned to all rain by the afternoon.  Our temperature now has reached the 40s , and all the ice on the trees gone.  We started the day with clouds, but it has cleared u […]
