  • Our weather has taken a turn to less humid and cooler.  For people like me, it’s a blessing.  We did receive a few sprinkles overnight and there is even one lightning strike showing on my weather station.  We ar […]

  • Yesterday we took a drive across the Mackinaw Bridge and it may be our last for quite a while.  This will be our final year camping.  I’ll certainly miss our time spent up here in northern Michigan but as they s […]

  • When we came up on Friday, temperatures were in the mid 70s.  Then the weekend brought hot, very humid temperatures and storms.  We had one pass Saturday which brought a lot of wind and torrential rain.  The ro […]

  • We had storms move through the state early last night dropping 0.68″ in my rain gauge.  Some areas in the southern part of the state got over two inches.  We were briefly under a severe TS warning but it wasn’t t […]

  • Our morning began with cloudy skies and fog.  It has now cleared up and has become a very nice day.  Temps are very warm but a significant breeze keeps it comfortable.   Mother Nature has cursed many parts of the […]

  • After a sunny morning, the sky has clouded up and my weather station is showing one lightning strike 22 miles away.  I’m seeing some spotty showers to our southwest on radar but it looks mainly like light rain.  W […]

  • It seems like our temperatures keep going from one extreme to the other.  We’re in the low to mid 70s one week, then in the mid to upper 80s the next.  Today we could actually reach 90 degrees and that’s d […]

  • Our morning began with fog, then skies cleared as the fog burned off.  Temperatures never fell much overnight and it was one of those nights that we were very happy to have AC.  There is a very slight chance of r […]

  • Yesterday’s drive home was pleasant and we had good weather all the way.  Today should be dry with typical August temperatures in the low 80s.  There is the possibility of rain tonight and over the next few days w […]

  • We’ll be heading home tomorrow, at least for another week or so.  There isn’t much time left of our summer.  It’s going by much too fast.  We have until the end of September before the campground closes for an […]

  • After all the rain that we had during the early part of the week, the weather here is now perfect.  Highs are in the low to mid 70s and just a nice breeze.  The upcoming week is supposed to be the same and no r […]

  • We had thunderstorms pass overnight, but most missed my area.  There was only 0.06″ in my gauge this morning although my weather station is showing multiple lightning strikes with the closest 17 miles away.  The w […]

  • I listened to our weather forecast on the 11 PM news last night, and there was a large mass of rain showing on radar over Wisconsin.  It appeared to me that it was heading in our direction, but the meteorologist […]

  • We are seeing our temperatures rising a little more everyday with excessive heat expected next week.  The heat index is expected to rise above 100 degrees one day.  We’ll be up north and hopefully it won’t be t […]

  • Our wonderful summer weather continues with plenty of sun, low humidity, and warm temperatures.  Unfortunately we have a heat wave coming with more highs in the 80s to near 90 degrees.  We’ll be heading north a […]

    Wow, so glad I don’t live out there. It would be too much going through this every summer.

  • Our morning temperatures started out in the 50s, and it was great sleeping weather last night.  Today has been comfortably cool with plenty of sun.  This is great weather and for me, it’s perfect.  I know that th […]

  • I can’t believe the temps that you are having out there. My brother lived in Seattle for over 40 years and it rarely got above 80F.

  • Today is one of those rare days when everything about the weather is perfect.  Temperatures are in the comfortable 70s, the humidity is low, and there is enough breeze to open the windows and really air out the […]

  • There was dense fog when I got up this morning with visibility less than a mile.  That has dissipated but skies remain cloudy.  We should see the sun later today with temps in the low to mid 80s.  Tomorrow is ex […]
