After all the wind yesterday, today is welcome even though our temperatures have dropped significantly.  In fact, they dropped from 62°F to 37°F in about 6 hours.  At least with temps back in the normal range, tha […]

Yesterday was quite nice, but clouds moved in late in the day and showers developed overnight.  There was 0.19″ in my gauge this morning.  We are expecting another wind blown day tomorrow, but it isn’t supposed t […]

Our morning began with plenty of sun and mild temperatures.  Since then, a thin layer of clouds have moved in but we still have filtered sunlight.  This weather is nice for those having to travel or go out C […]

My sunset picture was from Saturday night, the day of the storms.  Stormy days seem to produce some of the most beautiful sunsets.  Although we received no severe weather here, the winds did a lot of damage to o […]

Our morning started out quiet but now the wind is really howling.  My weather station is showing winds from 23-30 mph, but I know we are having gust stronger than that.  In fact, it blew my lawn swing over and I […]

We are currently under a high wind watch beginning at 8AM tomorrow morning, until 8PM tomorrow evening.  You would never know it to be outdoors today.  Winds are light and we have clearing skies.  A local me […]

We woke to a white world this morning with about 1.5″ of new snow.  Highs today are expected to reach near the freezing mark, so I’m not expecting it to last long.  Also, we have a period of very warm weather c […]

Today is not a nice one for having to be out and about.  We have very strong winds out of the west which makes it feel much colder than it is.  We had a mix of rain, snow, and sleet yesterday which turned into a […]

Today is quite pleasant although the wind is brisk and is chilly when it hits you.  At least we have a little sun shining through a thin veil of clouds.  There are predictions of a major snow event for the n […]

After having 5 inches of snow cover just a few days ago, we are now totally snow less.  Our high today did reach 50°F very briefly, and temperatures are now dropping.  We have some very cold weather on the way bu […]

Another winter weather advisory was posted yesterday afternoon and we received an additional 3 inches of new snow.  Some of what we received Saturday melted but we are still left with 5 inches on the ground.  A […]

Yesterday, we were under a winter weather advisory which was to start at 3 PM.  Mother Nature couldn’t wait, and light to moderate snow began to fall at around 10 AM.  It didn’t stop until well after dark and t […]

A winter weather advisory was issued early this morning from 3 pm until midnight.  But the snow began around 10 am and has continued since then.  My daughter and I had to go out, and coming home, the roads were r […]

Our day began with plenty of sun and milder temps than what we have had recently.  Now we have had a few sprinkles and skies have become overcast.  Our car temperature showed a high of 53°F when we were out and ab […]

It’s actually pretty nice outdoors today in spite of the cold temperatures.  Riding in the car, the sun felt very warm and we sure didn’t need the heater.  The sky is perfectly clear and winds are very light.  If […]

Today is the coldest that we’ve had so far this season with highs only reaching into the 30s.  With the wind, it feels even colder.  The sun gives a false impression of a lovely day, and it is to just look out t […]

Today will not bring anything out of the ordinary for a November day.  We have clouds and there is a chance for some showers.  Radar is showing some in the area but I haven’t noticed any raindrops yet.  Last ye […]

We think of November in Michigan as being cold and cloudy, and that’s exactly what we have today.  There’s just enough wind to make it feel even more chilly, but at least there is no snow on the ground.  There i […]

To look out the window today, it looked beautiful,  but temperatures barely made it out of the 30s.  Skies were clear all day but now some clouds are appearing in the west.  There is no rain expected until Su […]

Today will be the warmest that we’ll probably have for quite a while with highs expected near 60°F.  Unfortunately, it’s also supposed to be quite wet although all we’ve had so far is a brief 2 minute shower.  Ra […]
