While so many here in the state are saying how happy they are for the rain, I feel like we’re about to float away.  My weather station is now showing that we’ve received almost 4 inches of rain since June 1.  I r […]

Once again, we face a day of storms coming out of the northwest.  Radar is showing a long line heading our way.  We certainly don’t need anymore rain in spite of those who claim that they haven’t gotten much l […]

Today is much like yesterday, cloudy, cool with scattered rain showers.  Our extended forecast is calling for rain almost every day over the next week.  We are supposed to be in a drought but you could fool m […]

After a cloudy, blustery day on Monday, the first day of summer, our Tuesday is much more pleasant.  We did have a few sprinkles of rain on Monday but not enough to measure.  Winds were the big issue with gusts u […]

Sunday began with very warm temperatures and partly cloudy skies.  We were warned early that some possible severe weather would end our day.  A severe thunderstorm watch was issued late in the afternoon with s […]

After a very dry period in Michigan’s north country, massive, heavy thunderstorms moved across the state overnight dropping over an inch of rain in many areas.  Red flag warnings were issued over the past week […]

We drove up yesterday with sun most of the way.  After reaching the campground, we decided to head into Cheboygan to get something to eat.  Then we went to the in-law’s cabins to visit for a while.   The sun was […]

Although my area just got rain, Ovid, about 10 miles to our west, was hit by strong winds and damaging hail.  Hail stones the size of golf balls to almost baseball size were reported.  A friend at a yard party i […]

A large area of thunderstorms formed over mid Michigan and moved to the south late yesterday.  There were no storm warnings issued although there should have been.  Local forecasters said that they didn’t a […]

Our weather has been unbearably hot for me.  Thankfully, we have cooler temps coming next week, once we get past the weekend.  The AC has been running steady.  We are heading back up to camp on Monday, and my hu […]

We had to go to Detroit yesterday and the weather situation was quite remarkable.  When we left at 9 AM, the sun was out with scattered clouds.  Then the sky became overcast and dark clouds began appearing to o […]

Today is another scorcher with my weather station reading over 90F.  I’m not sure how accurate it is because it is in the sun and that usually causes it to read about 3-4 degrees higher that what it really is.  R […]

Our weekend has turned out as promised.  Very hot and uncomfortable for those of us who are heat sensitive.  The saving factor of the day is the wind.  Some places could reach 90°F although the forecasted high is […]

Our weather here in Indian River today is wonderful. Skies have been clear most of the day, and temperatures have been mild depending where you are. We took a drive to Cheboygan and temperatures there were only in […]

Our morning here in Indian River is much warmer than what we have had lately.  We will be here until Thursday and each day is expected to be a little warmer.  We have sun and very little rain in our forecast for t […]

We arrived here on Thursday and the temperatures have been very cold for this time of year.  Today is actually the first that we can go outdoors comfortably without a jacket.  At least the past few days have b […]

Our morning was very wet and we received some much needed rain overnight.  Our total was 0.41″ in addition to what we received yesterday.  I’m sure that the farmers are very happy.  The rain ended by late mo […]

Today will be the warmest day that we will have for a while.  Highs should reach the mid to upper 80s with rain in the forecast for tonight.  That should cool us off for the next several days.  But we’re ex […]

We finally received rain yesterday afternoon, and it continues into this morning.  It wasn’t nearly as much as we hoped for but any is better than nothing.  I’m seeing that rain is in our forecast for the next s […]
