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 […]

It is a rather yucky day and I expect that it will be raining most of it.  Temperatures are right around where they should be for this date, and winds are light.  Looks like we’ll be stuck indoors today so maybe I […]

The only thing that would make today better is if there were light winds.  Everything else is perfect.  Skies are clear and temps are in the mid 50s.  Our Thanksgiving weather was great but the remaining we […]

Our day began with clouds but fairly mild temperatures.  The radar overnight appeared to show rain passing over my area, but there was no sign of any this morning.  The air must have been too dry.  But now the sk […]

We couldn’t have a nicer day for our holiday meal.  My husband is cooking the turkey on the spit, something we’ve never tried before, so I hope it turns out well.  Unfortunately, there is a chance of rain later b […]

Our skies cleared yesterday and we lost most of our snow.  This morning was frosty but temperatures are expected to rise into the mid 40s this afternoon.  This will continue through Thanksgiving day, but then r […]

After a cloudy morning, the sun finally came out and skies are perfectly clear now.  Unfortunately, with it came very brisk winds.   Our total snow over the past 3 days was around 5 inches for my area, much be […]

This is our 4th day with snow and below average temperatures.  We have about 2 inches of snow cover with some ice.  We would have a lot more except there was quite a bit of thawing in spite of the cold t […]
