After 2 days of rain, today’s skies are clear although temperatures are below normal.  We received 0.22″ of rain yesterday early in the day.  Then the afternoon turned mostly sunny and this should continue t […]

Today is starting out with light to moderate rain and temperatures much cooler than what we have had.  There was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge at 9 AM, but we have had heavier rain showers since then.  Northern M […]

Rain is something that we don’t need, but there seems to be no end to it.  The forecast is calling for  up to an inch of precip over the next few days.  Storms formed yesterday afternoon, but all we got was a fe […]

Highs reached near 90F yesterday and a few storms developed, but we only had a few sprinkles here.  It’s amazing that we haven’t turned the AC off over the past 3 days, and it looks like we’ll be needing the […]

A very warm day led to some afternoon thunderstorms on Saturday.  We barely caught the edge of them, and there was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge this morning.    Today will be another hot day with highs expected to […]

There was 0.38″ of rain in my gauge which was a bit of a surprise.  The areas around me didn’t record nearly that much, and we  sure didn’t need it.  I see that there are new flood warnings up for the Sa […]

Friday was a drizzly, damp day but at least it was warm.  Today is looking to be better although there are still a lot of clouds.  There is filtered sun shining through and it’s warm enough to go out without a c […]

Our day is beginning with clouds but very nice temperatures.  I was able to sleep with my window open last night and that was wonderful.  I felt a few sprinkles when I went out earlier but we aren’t expecting a […]

We came back home yesterday and could see many flooded fields as we  traveled through the Mt. Pleasant-Clare area.  US 10, which passes Midland, was completely closed due to flooding.  They are saying that this is […]

After 2 days of rain, yesterday finally broke out in a little sun by late afternoon.  Today is expected to be very nice but we have to head for home.  Highs here are expected to be in the low 70s.  That’s wa […]

We continue to have a few sprinkles this morning but it shouldn’t last too long.  Today is expected to be fairly nice after two days of continuous rain.  There are flood warnings at home and they received over t […]

This isn’t the first time that the weather forecast has changed from what it was supposed to be.  Originally, it was supposed to start raining late Saturday night, all day Sunday, and be done by noon today.   No […]

Yesterday was very nice here in Indian River, but the next two days will be very wet and cold.  We went down to the inlaw’s cabins on Lake Huron in Cheboygan yesterday afternoon, and couldn’t believe how much of […]

Today is  sunny with light breezes, and our 2:30 PM temperature is 62°F.  It’s fine day for setting up our camp and getting outdoor stuff done.  We drove up yesterday in light rain until we reached near Gay […]

We have showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for today, and the radar is showing them to be quite plentiful for Michigan.  Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous although a bit on the chilly side.  Winds were l […]

It really looks like spring is finally here.  The extended forecast is showing highs up to 80° next week.  It’s about time!  We’re heading up to our campground on Friday and the weather is looking pretty good for […]

Here it is, almost the middle of May and we are still seeing snow or other frozen precipitation.  Unbelievable!  I can’t remember ever having May be this cold and I’ve been around for many years.  Fortunately, th […]

It feels so balmy out there this morning, a welcome change from the past two days.  Hopefully it will stay this way.  What’s even better is that we should see temps near 70° by next weekend.  We’ll be going up to […]

After a very windy, cold Friday, today isn’t looking too bad.  Temperatures are still not going to reach where they should be, but at least they are trying.  We should see quite a bit of sun today but there is s […]
