Although a jacket is needed to be outdoors today, winds are light and it’s a good day to go out and do almost anything.  We have some work being done to the outside of our house, and the guys finally have a nice […]

After a wet, dreary Wednesday, today is bright and sunny but temperatures are below average once again.  There is little wind and with the sun, it is very pleasant.  I’m hearing predictions of a very snowy w […]

The rain began late last night and is continuing this afternoon.  There was 0.21″ in my gauge at 9AM and it has been raining since then.  Temps have been dropping all morning and are now in the 40s.  I’m glad th […]

It looks like our wonderful weather is coming to an end.  We are seeing increasing clouds as the day goes on and rain is in the forecast for tonight.  Temperatures will still be mild  so it should be pleasant on […]

My husband and I took a ride early today to see what remains of our autumn colors.  Many trees are already bare, but the maples seem to be hanging tough.  It is absolutely gorgeous with highs now expected in the u […]

Yesterday was great but today is even better.  We should see high temps reaching the mid 70s although it will be quite breezy.  But we won’t complain.  This should continue up to Tuesday when more rain is ex […]

After the cold, rainy weather of the past 2 days, we now have plenty of sun and much warmer temperatures.  This is expected to last through the next 3 days.  It is certainly welcome after the miserable weather t […]

Our morning began with clouds and rain, but now the sun is out and temps are warming up a bit.  They should only reach the upper 40s, but with the sun, that will be pleasant.  It was raining when we went to the s […]

At least, it isn’t raining today and we could see a little clearing later on.  Other than that, there isn’t much of a change from what we had yesterday.  Temperature are much below normal, and we continue to h […]

Today is a dark, dreary day with intermittent rain falling.  Yesterday’s showers brought us our first snow of the season, and even though it was a snow and rain mix, it still looked like white flakes to me.  T […]

Although our temperatures are much below average, we are expecting another warmup by the weekend.  Temps could rise to near 70F once again.  But before that happens, we could get our first taste of snow.  No […]

This cold spell continues and is expected to remain up until next weekend.  I’m hearing that there is a winter storm warning up for our UP with 18 inches of snow possible.  I’m not quite ready to hear that yet, a […]

We are supposed to see the sun today, but haven’t seen much so far.  It was clear earlier but since then, clouds have taken over.  We received a total of 0.12″ of rain overnight and we aren’t expecting anymore t […]

Yesterday brought us off-and-on showers but no large amounts.  There was 0nly 0.04″ in my gauge this morning although we did run into some heavy rain when we went to Owosso.  There was even a little hail mixed i […]

We had to go to Owosso this morning, and there were several strong showers that dumped on us.  One even had a little hail mixed in.  When we got home, there was only 0.04″ in my gauge.  So most of the rain has mi […]

After a few days of great fall weather, reality has returned.  Temps today won’t be too chilly, but the cold front moves in tomorrow with much colder temps and even possible thunderstorms possible.  We received 0 […]

I know that my blogs gets a bit redundant at times, but there is really nothing else to be said.  Our weather so far this autumn has been amazing.  We are seeing more color each day and temperatures have been c […]

Today is quite a bit warmer than yesterday with highs expected in the mid 60s.  In fact, we are already there.  The warmth will continue over the next several days before the next wave of cold air comes our w […]

We had our first hard freeze last night and some areas of the state reported snow flurries.  If we had gotten any precipitation overnight, I’m sure it also would have been snow.  My roses and mums survived and I h […]

The cold front moved through late yesterday, bringing with it some light showers.  There was 0.04″ in my rain gauge this morning and temps were in the upper 30s.  Highs today won’t warm up much more than the low 5 […]
