Mid Michigan Weather

Our morning is starting out with partly cloudy skies and very strong winds.  Since the snow cover is very light, it is blowing over where we cleared yesterday.  Temperatures should reach the upper 30s today so we should have some melting.  Other than than it won’t be very pleasant for being out and about.  Tonight will be the full, blue, blood moon.  It is questionable whether we will see it depending on the cloud cover. Our 9:45 AM temp is…

Those were the words of a local meteorologist in describing this storm.  One to two inches overnight and into Monday morning was the prediction, but it strengthened through the day and we received just over five inches total.  Some areas received nine plus inches.  Along with it came some very cold temps which are expected to remain over the next week.   So I guess this snow will be around for a while.  Today is supposed to be mostly sunny but…

The forecast called for 1-2 inches of snow overnight for us.  So far, we have 4 and it is still coming down.  It is light and fluffy, quite pretty actually.  How fast our weather can change.  Two days ago, folks were out in light jackets and sweatshirts, today back to winter gear.  But it’s January!  This is what is supposed to be normal for us.  I know the roads are bad and I’m so glad that I don’t have to…

Our Sunday is starting out with a little sun but that is not expected to last.  Yesterday was beautiful except for the strong winds.  We went on a horse-drawn wagon ride at our local nature conservancy which was a fund raiser.  It was supposed to be a sleigh ride but Mother Nature didn’t cooperate, and at least we didn’t freeze.  Temps reached the lower 50s but the winds made it feel much colder.  Today won’t be as warm but the…

Today’s temperatures will continue much above normal and there is no snow to be found anywhere.  We were supposed to go on a sleigh ride today at the Nature Conservatory this afternoon, and I guess that will be a wagon ride instead.  At least we won’t be freezing.  Highs yesterday reached the low 50s and with plenty of sun, it felt even warmer.  Today won’t be quite as nice because of strong winds and the temperatures won’t get quite as…

This weather is crazy with below normal temps for a few days, then above normal following.  It can’t seem to make up its mind.  We are scheduled to go on a sleigh ride on Saturday, and of course, all the snow melted.  So it looks like it will be a wagon ride instead.  At least we won’t be freezing as temps are expected to rise into the mid to upper 40s.  It’ll be fun regardless.  Our temps have been rising…

Once again, Mother Nature is reminding us that it is too early in the season for mild weather.  At least we have lost most of our snow, getting us ready for the next round.  There are no pending storms on the horizon for us at this time, but we all know how quickly that can change.  Temperatures for the next week are expected to be near normal to slightly above.  We never did get the accumulation that was predicted for…

This morning was quite mild with the temp round 40.  Since then the temperature has been falling and is now  at the freezing point.  We had drizzle to start the day and now it is snowing.  The forecast is calling for less than an inch of snow with the possibility of freezing rain.  Our current snow is almost gone and there isn’t any  real accumulations expected anytime soon Our 2:30 PM temp is 32 (0°C), the humidity is 89%, and…

Today is misty, damp, cloudy, and really not a nice day weather-wise.  We are under a dense fog advisory but visibility is still around 5 miles.  I’m thinking that it may get worse tonight  Temperatures are quite mild and we are losing a little snow every day.  Our ground cover is now down to 2.5 inches as of 9 AM this morning.  There is the possibility of heavy rain Tuesday which will change to snow by night time.  It isn’t…

Yesterday was quite pleasant although a bit breezy.  The wind even felt mild compared to this past week.  We should continue to see temps that are above normal for the next 4-5 days and that will be welcome.  We lost a little snow cover yesterday and it is now down to about 3.5 inches.  The sun was out quite a bit of the day with increased clouds by nighttime.  This morning is beginning with mostly cloudy skies and a colorful…
