  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • My brother, who lives in Seattle, described it as like living in the Twilight Zone.

  • 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 […]
