We lost the rest of the snow and ice from last week’s storm, but now we have another expected to arrive on Wednesday.  It sound pretty much like the last one.  It’s supposed to start with snow, then change to s […]

The highs yesterday made it into the mid 40s and we lost a lot of snow and ice.  This morning began with sun but now it has become mostly cloudy.  We could see a high near 50°F this afternoon.  Our snow cover has […]

It has warmed up significantly since this morning, and most of the ice and snow has melted on the blacktop roads.  Temps were in the teens this morning, and now have reached the upper 30s.  With the sun, it is m […]

We had a winter mess late yesterday which began as rain, then changed to freezing rain and sleet, then snow on top of that.  It only amounted to 1-2 inches of ground cover, but everything was a bit icy this […]

Today is a yucky day to say the least, but we aren’t getting severe weather like they are in the south.  I’m happy for that.  Instead, we are expecting freezing drizzle with some snow mixed in.  All we have had so […]

Yesterday broke some records for warmest day, but didn’t quite make it here.  Our temperatures were in the mid 50s most of the day and even overnight.  Now our temps are dropping and a wind advisory is in effect u […]

Today will be our final “nice weather” day with highs expected to reach the low to mid 50s, and sun at least half of our day.  Clouds are expected to move in this afternoon, and portions of a winter storm will be […]

We have been so fortunate this winter.  Our weather has been fantastic for the most part.  I know that snow lovers wouldn’t agree, but we oldsters can do without snow . . . . heavy snow anyway.  Today will be mu […]

This is our second day of totally cloudless skies.  How rare this is for Michigan in  February.  There is no precip in our forecast until Tuesday night, then another major storm is coming across the country.  Thi […]

There isn’t a cloud in the sky, temps should reach the mid 40s today, and no precip expected for the next several days.  The only negative thing is the wind.  It will be quite strong today, and will make it feel m […]

All of our snow is gone except for a few spots where we shoveled.  Mild temperatures and rain over the past two days took care of most of it.  The southern parts of the state saw highs in the 50s yesterday, but w […]

We received 0.72 inches of rain so far and there is more on the way.  Most of the snow is gone except for where the banks are, and a few low areas.  Highs could reach near 50°F today although it has a way to go if […]

With the warm temps over the past 2 days, our snow cover has now dwindled to about 10%.  With the rain expected tonight and tomorrow, that will probably take care of the rest of it.  It feels like a spring day o […]

Although our temperatures have been above the freezing mark, the snow isn’t melting very fast.  We still have about 2 inches of snow pack remaining, and it had a light layer of ice over it this morning.  Highs t […]

Our morning began with clouds and chilly temps.  But now the sun is out and temps are rising above the freezing mark.  Winds are quite light, so it’s very nice out there.  We lost a little snow yesterday and ou […]

After a very chilly Friday, our weather has taken a welcome turn for the better.  Temps were on the rise all day yesterday, but strong winds made it quite uncomfortable.  Today will be warmer and we should lose m […]

Yesterday was very cold and the wind chill made it worse.   Temperatures were at their lowest just before midnight, then they began to rise shortly after and continued all night.  We will see this continue all da […]

We have mostly clear skies and plenty of sun, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it.   Highs won’t make it out of the teens today and the wind chill makes it even worse.  Thankfully, this is the only day that we […]

Although the PA groundhog, Phil, is predicting more winter ahead, NOAA is saying something else.  My picture shows NOAA’s recent temperature predictions for almost half of February and it is showing a significant […]

With highs today only in the teens, we’ll take all the sun we can get.  It does seem to be a little warmer and my deck is melting quite nicely where the sun is shining.  Our snow pack remains at 5.5 inches, and n […]
