Tonight will bring the leading edge of a cold front which will take our temperatures to a normal range by mid week.  Today will still be wonderful but by Wednesday, it will be down right cold.  But what can I say?  September and this month have been exceptional here in Michigan.  We knew that it couldn’t last forever and we can look forward to a normal winter or so they are telling us.  Plenty of snow is in the forecast.  I don’t hate snow, really, but I don’t like when we get a large amount early in the season, then it gets cold and it never melts until spring.  I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.  Long range forecasts have been wrong in the past.
