A winter storm watch is in effect from late tonight through late Wednesday night for my area.  Total snow accumulations of 4-to 8 inches are expected, and this includes all of southeast Michigan.  This will be t […]

We will start seeing a change in the weather tonight as a winter weather system moves in over the next few days.  We aren’t expecting any great amounts of snow, maybe up to 5 inches total over the next 3 days.  W […]

Today will be very warm for late February, but we are told that winter will return with a vengeance mid week.  We could see highs near 50° today and plenty of sun.  The only negative will be the winds.  But we cer […]

This is expected to be a very nice weekend with very warm temps and plenty of sun.  We are celebrating my oldest son’s birthday so I’m very happy that the weather will be nice.  This morning isn’t quite a chilly a […]

We are expecting plenty of sun over the next 3 to 4 days, and that just doesn’t happen in February in Michigan.  Although our current temp is only 24°F, there seems to be quite a bit of melting out there in the s […]

For southern Michigan, this has been the type of winter that makes you think that you’ll never dread winter again.  Today is sunny and looking outdoors, one would think that it’s a day in April.  We have lost a […]

We received about an inch of snow late last night but it was all melted this morning when I woke.   Winds have now increased and skies are cloudy.  Our snow cover is about 80% and I expect that the warmer temps wi […]

Yesterday was a beautiful day with plenty of sun and highs which made it up to 40°.  We did lose a little snow pack and I measured about 2.8 inches still on the ground this morning.  Today isn’t expected to be as […]

After a very frigid past two days, the sun today is a welcome sight.   The temperature even made it up to 40° according to my weather station.  Much of the snow is melting, especially in the sunny areas.  As of 8 […]

My weather station is telling me that is got down to -6°F overnight although it was 1°F when I got up at 8:30 AM.  Regardless, it feels mighty cold out there in spite of the sun.  Skies have been clear all mor […]

We woke to an additional 2+ inches of new snow and it is still coming down at a moderate clip.  The forecast called for 1-2 inches for my area, but we already have that and the radar is showing no end to it […]

Current forecasts don’t seem as ominous as what I heard a few days ago.  They were actually talking blizzard conditions.  Now they are predicting just 1-3 inches in our area with winds in the 20 mph range.  I th […]

Our Tuesday morning is cloudy but bright with the snow.  We had filtered sunlight earlier but that has passed.  There is nothing special expected today in the weather department, just a normal February day.  Ye […]

Yes, we had a few snow squalls which looked pretty impressive, but much of what we got melted after midnight.  Temp’s rose into the mid 30s overnight and I only measured about 1 inch of icy snow this morning.  I k […]

The entire lower peninsula and part of the UP is under a winter weather advisory with anywhere from two to five more inches of snow expected, depending on where you are.  My area is in the 2-3 inch range.  T […]

The last few days have brought us snow and more snow.  We started out with a few inches, then four inches yesterday.  We have had off and on snow showers most of today but no real accumulations.  Our snow pack is […]

We received about 4 inches of snow over the last 36 hours and they are telling us that we could get another 1-3 on Sunday.  We knew that we weren’t going to get away without some winter weather after a very mild […]

We woke to a little under an inch of new snow.  Radar is showing more on the way and predictions are for another 1-2 inches by tonight.  Temperatures have taken a plunge and will struggle to make it into the 30s t […]

We couldn’t ask for  nicer weather than what we had yesterday for early February here in Michigan.  It was sunny most of the day except for periods of altocumulus cloud cover early.  Highs reached near 50° and win […]
