It was nice and bright this morning, but now clouds have moved in.  Rain is in the forecast for later this afternoon and tonight.  At least it’s rain and not snow.  Our weather continues to be mild.  Unf […]

After almost a week of gloom, we finally have clear skies.  But with that came very cold temperatures.  It was only 12F when I got up this morning.  We should see a substantial warm-up later but temps will pr […]

Just another gloomy day in mid Michigan, but seeing the sun the past two days was lovely.  We have rain in our forecast for today but nothing so far.  In fact, all the rain yesterday stayed to our south.   We are […]

Local forecasters told us to enjoy the sun yesterday because today would be cloudy once again.  Well, they were partially right.  We have had sunshine all morning although there is a thin layer of clouds also.  I’ […]

What a difference a day with sunlight makes!  Our local station is already warning us to enjoy it because tomorrow will be cloudy once again.  I can’t remember the last time that we saw the sun but it’s been at l […]

We were supposed to see a little sun today but so far, it’s a no-show.  Also, temperatures aren’t rising very fast either, and we are far from our expected high today.  It looks like this will be just another b […]

Our weather pattern has become stagnant, but we should see some changes beginning tomorrow.  I don’t think we’ll see much if any sun today, but it would be nice to see a little clearing later.  The past four d […]

Yesterday brought us a mix of rain and snow which became mostly snow as the day wore on.  It did leave a light covering which has melted since then.  Today is just damp and chilly, but temperatures are still a […]

Today is damp and cold, a typical dreary January day.  We’ve been having a mix of rain and snow since this morning, but not enough to measure.  At least there isn’t much wind to make it even more miserable.  I’ […]

Today is foggy once again, and it (the fog) doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.  Visibility is less than a mile and we have had intermittent rain showers most of the morning.  Radar is showing most of the rain to b […]

Not much to say in terms of the weather except it’s just more of the same.  In fact, this should be the normal for most of this week.  I just heard an extended forecast for the rest of January, and according to t […]

New Years Day has come and gone, and our fairly mild weather remains, at least for a few more days.  Unfortunately, it will also be very wet.  Record high temperatures could happen tomorrow, although how high t […]

Our New Years Day is wet and mild, quite a difference from a week ago.  I’m hearing of another major storm approaching, but I think it won’t affect us too much.  The southern states seem to be where most of i […]

The high reached the mid 50s yesterday.  Today won’t be quite that balmy but still better than what we had a week ago.  It’s amazing how much the temperatures can fluctuate in one week.  We had light showers ye […]

The warm temperatures of the past two days have taken care of most of the snow.  The only snow remaining is where the snow banks and deep drifts were.  It was 53°F when I got up this morning and has pretty much re […]

Temperatures remained in the 40s most of the night, therefore melting most of our snow.  I measured this morning and it averaged out to about 2 inches.  Now it is far less with only about 30% of snow cover.  Th […]

Today we can look forward to a decreasing snow pack.  I know it will take a few days for it all to melt, but that’s okay.  We should see these wonderful warmer temps right through the weekend.  We have a thin la […]

Highs are expected to reach the upper 20s today, and we could even see a little sun.  If that happens, my deck may even thaw a bit.  I’m loving the predictions for this upcoming weekend with highs in the low 5 […]

I’m thinking that it will be a long time before anyone wishes for a white Christmas again.  Mother Nature certainly granted our wish but went a bit overboard, especially for those living on the west side of the […]

Merry Christmas!  It has done nothing but snow for the past 3 days, and today is no exception.  It isn’t heavy but just enough to keep adding the inches.  We now have about 6 inches with 12 inch drifts sc […]
