Near Record High Temps in Mid Michigan Today
Wednesday was not a pretty day with fog and drizzle. All of our snow is gone except for where the snow banks are. Our Temperatures were on the rise all night and there was 0.05″ in my rain gauge this morning. Unfortunately, this isn’t going to last. In fact, our high for the day is probably what we have right now. Another blast of cold air is heading our way and we’ll be back in the deep freeze for the weekend. I’m hoping that it doesn’t last for two weeks like the last one did.
