Finally, Some Beautiful Autumn Weather – Mid Michigan

Finally, Some Beautiful Autumn Weather – Mid Michigan

After a very wet start to our October, we are finally getting some fine autumn weather.  This entire week is supposed to be dry with plenty of sun and normal temperatures.  Our weekend was quite nice although we did get a little rain on Friday.  Today should see high temps in the upper 60s and breezy.  We’ll take it! Our 9:15 AM temp is 52°F (11°C), the humidity is 85% and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the southwest…

It Feels Like November This Morning – Mid Michigan

It Feels Like November This Morning – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was the first time that we had the furnace on all day.  Temperatures only make it up to the mid 50s and the wind made it even colder.  At least we didn’t get any rain.  Today’s forecast differs depending on who you are listening to, but I don’t think that any rain is expected until tonight.  The sun did manage to peek out yesterday very briefly.  I hope that we see more today and that it’s a little warmer….

More Heavy Rain On The Way For Mid Michigan

More Heavy Rain On The Way For Mid Michigan

Although temperatures today will be almost record setting, with the heat comes another round of heavy rain.  This will probably be the last of our 80 degree weather for the year, but I just wish that we had sun and pleasant weather to go with it.  This morning is mostly cloudy with a few peeks of the sun, and there is a heavy dew.  My flowers are pretty much done for the year except my dahlias.  They seem to like…
