We better enjoy today because this weather will be coming to an end tomorrow.  Yesterday was lovely except for the winds.  Today won’t bring us as much sun, but temperatures will still reach the mid 40s and w […]

My thermometer, which is in the sun, is showing 60°F.  It really feels balmy out there and I think I’ll take the dog out for a walk around the yard.  These type of days are very rare in winter so I’m going to ta […]

Where is everyone?  I seem to be the only one posting a blog lately.  I know that there have been some issues with this site lately and I hope that they get resolved quickly.

Our weather this morning is not u […]

Today is just another much like the past 3 or 4.  Winds are fairly calm, temps are hovering right around freezing, and there isn’t much sun. It did, however, peek out a few times earlier today.  Our snow cover c […]

Our weather has remained constant with very little changes expected in the near future.  I guess that’s a good thing.  Little by little, our snow cover is disappearing and we now have about 50%.  Temperatures ar […]

This has been a strange January.  Our temperatures have been mild and most precipitation has been rain.  Any snow that we have received has been light with little accumulation.  In fact, most of our snow cover is […]

It isn’t really warm but still much above average for this date.  After what the Farmers Almanac predicted, everyone was so sure that we were going to be snowed in this winter.  It’s been anything but.  We co […]

Our snow pack is now down to 2.5 inches and still melting.  I can’t believe how warm our winter has been so far.  Frankenmuth is having their winter festival with all the ice and snow carvings.  This rain ce […]

Today will be the first that we will see temps above the freezing mark this week.  I’m hoping that the ice on my deck melts enough where I can scoop it up with my snow shovel.  We aren’t expecting any p […]

We are getting a few peeks of the sun this morning although the sky is mostly cloudy.  Temperatures should be a little warmer, and if the sun would be out for a while, we could get rid of some of this ice.  T […]

Yesterday started off with sun, but then the clouds rolled in by  afternoon.  We had a few light snow showers but no new snow accumulations.  We have about 5 inches of snow cover right now, and temperatures wi […]

It started snowing Friday night and hasn’t stopped since.  We did lose a little yesterday between snow showers, and last night we had a period of rain which melted a little.  Today, it’s been snowing since I got u […]

We have yet another storm knocking on our door, but this time it should be snow, not ice.  It is expected to begin tonight and last through most of tomorrow.  The winter weather advisory is from midnight tonight u […]

Yesterday and today seem quite calm with temps hovering around the freezing mark.  We are expected to reach 40° this afternoon, and I’m hoping that the ice on the deck melts enough that we can shovel it off.  We […]

Our weather keeps switching from typical winter weather to spring-like.  Crazy!  Today is more like winter again but highs in the 40s will return over the next few day.  A snow/rain mix is also possible each da […]

Yesterday was a mess but fortunately, most of the precipitation was already ice before hitting the ground.  That saved us from more power outages than what there were.  I measured about 1.5 inches of ice on my s […]

The rain began around midnight and has continued through this morning.  There was 1.70 inches in my guage at 8:30 and it hasn’t stopped raining since.  Our power went out at around 6:30 this morning, but came b […]

Most of the lower peninsula of Michigan is under some type of weather watch or warning and the next 48 hrs are expected to be a real challenge for all of us.  The northern portions are expected to have heavy snow […]

Yesterday started out with lake effect snow showers and those ended shortly after noon.  There was hardly any accumulation.  Today will be much warmer again but brisk winds will keep the comfort level down s […]
