Although we only have about 5 inches of snow cover, we have one foot drifts.  My son went out for a test drive to see how the roads were, and he said that they’re all ice covered with snow blowing over them.  We a […]

Although our snow amounts aren’t impressive, strong winds are causing havoc on the roads.  A good portion of I-75 is closed between Flint and Saginaw, and sporadic power outages are being reported.  We haven’t l […]

Everyone is busy getting ready for the storm.  Stores are crowded with last minute shoppers and I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere today.  Rain and snow is supposed to begin sometime this afternoon, but the w […]

Our Wednesday began with clear skies and very cold temperatures.  It was 13°F when I got up at 8:30.  Since then it has warmed a little but not much.  This will be warm compared to what is coming next week.  Some […]

Our morning is beginning with filtered sun and mostly cloudy skies.  It’s actually quite nice outdoors, and tomorrow isn’t expected to be too bad either.  Weather gurus aren’t quite sure exactly when the “flash f […]

We are still keeping our eye on a major winter storm which seems to be heading right at us.  There is still some uncertainty as to exactly how it will affect us, but there is no doubt that we will get some snow […]

There are no warmups expected in the near future for us.  In fact, some very frigid weather is forecasted for Christmas weekend.  They are even giving us a higher possibility of having a white Christmas and that w […]

While the deep south is being hammered by tornadic storms, and the Midwest is plagued with blizzards, we, here in Michigan, continue to have cold but quiet weather.  This low pressure trough, which is wreaking […]

We had mostly clouds this morning, but the sky is clearing nicely as the day goes on.  With very little wind, it’s quite pleasant outdoors.  The rain that was in the forecast, has now been removed and it appears t […]

I don’t have much to say about our weather except it is just more of the same.  The big winter storm, heading in this direction, is expected to remain to our west and south, and we may get some rain or a few […]

Yesterday was a typical early December day with overcast skies and cold temps.  We did receive a bit of snow early in the evening, which left a light covering of white, mainly on smooth surfaces.  Most of it was g […]

Today isn’t half bad with cloudy skies, light winds, and mild temperatures.  We did get a little rain yesterday, only 0.02″.  We had some light fog this morning and it is still a little hazy.  No rain is ex […]

We have another dreary day, but the sun did peek out briefly this afternoon.  We had a few sprinkles early this morning, but it left not much more than a trace of rain.  Temperatures are right around normal for t […]

We saw a few breaks in the clouds early, but now skies have become overcast.  We could see a few sprinkles of rain by day’s end.  At least the temperatures are fairly mild and light winds.  So overall, not too ba […]

I looks like a beautiful day until the wind hits you.  The sky is cloudless, and that’s the only thing which makes it feel even slightly mild.  At least the furnace doesn’t run nearly as much when the sun is o […]

Yesterday finished with temps in the low 50s and very strong winds.  They really ramped up after midnight and we are under a wind advisory which should be expiring soon.  We are expected to see a little sun this a […]

Although today isn’t as bad as tomorrow is expected to be, it still is not a comfortable day to be outdoors.  Another cold front is on the horizon and it will bring another day of very strong winds on Saturday.  I […]

Our morning began with mostly cloudy skies, but since then, it has cleared up nicely although it is quite cold.  The wind has diminished so it isn’t too bad outdoors at all.  There is another cold front coming o […]

We are under a high wind warning until 10 pm, with gusts as high as 45 mph possible.  This is from the cold front which arrived overnight and caused tornadoes and much wind damage in the south.  The winds will b […]

A strong storm system is setting up in the south with severe storms and tornadoes expected.  Fortunately for us, all we’re expecting is rain and strong winds.  Local forecasters are warning of possible 45 mph g […]
