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 […]

Today is perfect in terms of how a summer day should be.  Yes, it is very warm but perfect for water sports if you’re into that sort of thing.  Our morning began with cloudy skies but it has cleared up quite n […]

Today is our last day here for this trip.  It rained most of Saturday but toward evening, the sky cleared and we even saw a little sun.  Temperatures never got as warm as what was predicted and we were happy a […]

The rain began early this morning and hasn’t stopped since.  I’m not sure how much we’ve gotten so far but I know it has to be well over an inch.  Unfortunately, this is expected to continue until late this a […]

Our Thursday is starting out with clouds and chilly temperatures, but it feels good.  The heat will return over the weekend with highs closer to normal once again.  We could see a little rain also.  At home, th […]

Our morning is very warm and humid, typical for a July day in Michigan.  Yesterday was sunny but the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was very evident in our skies and even looking at the horizon.  As we t […]

Today is sunny but our skies look rather grey from the smoke from the western wildfires.  Temperatures are much warmer than what we have had and that’s good for those who like hot weather.  We are heading back t […]

Yesterday was supposed to be rainy and it wasn’t.  Not one drop fell here.  Today is also supposed to be wet but nothing so far.  Radar is showing us right on the northern edge of the rain and I hope we stay th […]

Our skies look like rain but radar is showing most of it to be passing to our west and north.   I did have a few drops on my windshield earlier when coming home from Corunna, but nothing here at home.  All the st […]

Tuesday began with some sun and very humid conditions.  Then the afternoon brought some thunderstorms which left us with an addition 0.84″ of rainfall, something we didn’t need.  This morning is sunny and for o […]

My flowers in my beds are looking good, but those in my pots are looking pretty bad.  There is even mold forming on the dirt.  Some of the leaves are starting to dry up and they aren’t blossoming as they s […]

Today was supposed to be rainy, but I’m seeing now that NOAA has reduced our rain chances to just 30%.  I’m hoping that we don’t get any.  The mosquitoes are horrid with all the rain that we’ve had.  My area re […]

Our morning began with clouds but now the sun is shining.  This should be a nice day.  Our last day up at the campground was a wash-out and miserable.  Our trip home yesterday was  wet most of the way, and onc […]

The rain began about 8 PM last night and has increased in intensity since then.  We were supposed to go home today but extended our stay one day since we don’t like packing up in the rain.  This is expected to c […]

After two very warm days, we can expect much cooler air over the next few days.  We have one more day here in Indian River, then we’ll be heading for home.  Rain was in our forecast for yesterday, but all the s […]

We will see highs near 90F today and without AC, that isn’t pleasant.  It wouldn’t be so bad if we had a little wind but that isn’t happening either.  Luckily, our trailer is mostly in the shade so that helps a l […]

Our weather here in Indian River has been perfect so far.  We have had comfortable temperatures and no rain.  This will continue for the next few days, but then the hot air moves in.  I’m not looking forward to it […]

Have you ever noticed that these small cells of thunderstorms can be the most damaging?  They aren’t much more than a blip on the radar, but produce heavy rain, strong winds, and even tornadoes sometime.  That’s w […]

Yesterday was pretty nerve-racking as storm alert after storm alert came through on my phone.  It began as a severe thunderstorm watch, to a warning, then tornado warnings.  This went on for about 4 hours in the l […]

We had light to moderate to heavy rain all day Friday with very few breaks.  Today hasn’t been quite as bad so far, but more heavy rain is predicted for later today.  There was 1.77″ of rain in my gauge this m […]
