We are seeing a little sun this morning but the wind is already picking up, making it feel colder than what it is.  Just seeing the sun makes it a pleasant morning.  The snow that we received is now gone, and we a […]

We had a snow shower develop yesterday evening just to our northwest, and it proceeded to move in our direction, gaining momentum as it advanced toward us.  It dropped an inch of snow on us in a short time.  It d […]

We received about an inch of snow yesterday morning, but by afternoon, it was almost gone. We have an additional quarter of an inch this morning and everything is white again. Temperatures have barely made it […]

Our Thanksgiving Day was nice  although the weather was chilly and cloudy.  I guess that would be normal for the end of November here in Michigan.  The kids were all home and everyone was stuffed.  This wee […]

After having winds up to  60 mph in many areas yesterday, many in Mid Michigan are without power today.  Thankfully, we aren’t one of them.  There was plenty of damage in the Saginaw-Bay City area but Sh […]

After heavy overnight rain, our skies are clearing and the sun is out.  There was 0.86″ in my rain gauge this morning, and we did hear a few rumbles of thunder last night.  A winter storm warning is in effect f […]

This morning feels like a day in March, but unfortunately, it isn’t going to last.  We have a rather potent storm system moving our way for Wednesday.  Although we aren’t expecting any snow, winds will be the i […]

This morning is bright with average temperatures.  We can’t really expect much better for the end of November here in Michigan.  There is an impending winter storm that is heading our way for Tuesday, but it’s l […]

It’s as if Mother Nature is trying to make up for what she did to us last week.  The forecast for this weekend is lovely and temperatures will be right around normal.  The rains yesterday took care of the r […]

Although temperatures today will be above average, it will be wet with rain expected most of the day.  There is just a hint of snow cover left , mainly where the snow piles were,  and our weather seems to be b […]

Although we have mild temperatures, visibility is down to less than a mile  We are expecting a period of near normal temps over the next week, and that’s a relief from what we have had.  Yesterday warmed up to n […]

Our snow pack is now down to about an inch with the snow cover at about 50%.  It’s slowly melting away and I’m not missing it.  There are no storms expected anytime soon and temperatures will recover to closer t […]

Our morning is beginning with plenty of sun and fairly mild temperatures.  We should see highs today near 40° and that will be a nice change from what we have had.  We continue to lose small amounts of snow ev […]

Today seems almost balmy compared to what we have had.  Temperatures are above freezing and the snow is melting.  I took measurements this morning and our snow cover is down to 2.3 inches.  I’m surprised that we […]

Our January-type weather continues with temperatures expected to be a little warmer today, but still no where near close to average.  There are some 40 degree days coming but even that is colder than average for […]

All weather records were broken yesterday.  How often does that happen?  We broke the record for total snow amounts for the date, for the coldest high temperature for that date, and the lowest cold temperature f […]

It snowed all day yesterday leaving about 7 inches on the ground.  The thumb area of the state got 12 or more inches.  I hope that this isn’t a sign of how our winter is going to be.  They did predict a snowy wi […]

We woke to about 2 inches of snow cover and it’s still coming down.  I’m hearing that we could get as much as 6 inches by the time it’s over.  A winter weather advisory is in effect until midnight. I guess w […]

One would think that it is January as cold as it is.  I keep waiting for Indian Summer but I don’t think that it will happen anytime soon.  What’s worse is that it’s supposed to be even colder next week, with h […]
