We have mostly clear skies, light breezes and comfortable temperatures.  It’s the perfect day for doing some gardening.  I went out and bought more perennials today, as I’m trying to change all my gardens to t […]

Another cold front has moved through the state, and once again, our temperatures are below average.  Many of us are wondering if this will be ongoing through the summer.  It’s time to warm up and stay there, but M […]

It seems like our weather just cannot warm up and stay there.  We have constant roller-coaster temperatures which are causing too much rain as well as severe storms.  Gaylord, MI was hit by an F3 tornado on F […]

This morning is beginning with plenty of sun, breezy, and very warm.  This is the prelude for tomorrow’s weather.  Actually, most of the storms are expected tomorrow night which I’m not happy about, especially w […]

This will not be a “work outdoors” day for us.  With all this rain, it’s hard to keep up with lawn mowing.  It seems like we just mow it, and have to start all over again.  We mow about 2.5 acres so it’s quite a […]

After a week of “hot” temperatures, some cooler weather is refreshing.  I don’t do well when the temperature gets over 80°F, but with the low humidity that we’ve had, it hasn’t been too bad.  The roller-coaster te […]

Yesterday began with clear skies, but it didn’t last long.  About 2 PM, the clouds started rolling in, and the radar showed developing small scattered cells  of thunderstorms developing , mainly to our south.  As […]

Once again, we have a nice, sunny morning.  Temperatures are rising quickly which will probably usher in some  storms this afternoon.  The Weather Service is telling us to expect some strong storms, possible re […]

Yesterday was wonderful and today will be as well.  So far, our sky is clear and temps are already in the low 80s.  Our weather is expected to take a turn tomorrow with a bit of a cool-down and possible t […]

The leaves have really popped out over the past two days.  It’s amazing what a couple of 80 degree days will do.  The storms that I mentioned yesterday never reached us, and it seems that not many got much rain f […]

Radar is showing a fragmented thunderstorm moving in my direction.  In fact, it’s been on the radar for the past 3 hours but doesn’t seem to know where it want’s to go.  There was a large red cell which seemed t […]

Mother’s Day was quite nice, but we lost our sun half way through the day.  Radar showed some light showers over much of the state but the humidity and dew point was too low for any of it to reach the ground.  T […]

Our day began with clear skies and moderate temperatures.  Now, clouds have taken over but temperatures are quite warm.    Winds aren’t too strong so it is a very pleasant day.  Each day this week will cont […]

The only thing that could make today better would be either warmer temperatures or less wind.  Otherwise, It’s perfect.  We had light rain and clouds half of yesterday, and even when the rain stopped, it was w […]

We have light rain this morning which is expected to end by the afternoon.  The weekend looks great with sun and mild temperatures.  Then we are told that it will get hot next week, with an extended period of 80 d […]

We had light to moderate rain all day on Tuesday leaving us with 0.69 in total.  Skies remained cloudy all morning and have become partly cloudy since then.  Forecasts are calling for a major warm-up next week, w […]

We get one nice day, then a bunch of cloudy, cold days.  Temperatures are in the 50s, so I guess you can’t really call that cold, but it sure isn’t where it ought to be for early May.  I should be out cleaning o […]

After a dreary, cold, damp Saturday, our Sunday is turning out much better.  We had fog and a little drizzle this morning, but now the sky is showing signs of clearing, and we are getting a few peeks at the […]

Although our temperatures aren’t where they should be, it still has been a very nice morning.  There was a frost but since nothing is planted yet, there was no harm done.  The early spring flowers, which are in b […]

It is now 1:30 pm and our temperatures haven’t even made it into the 40s yet.  I don’t think that they are going to.  Highs today are expected to reach the low 40s, and if the sun comes out, it just may h […]
