A Slight Warmup For Mid Michigan

A Slight Warmup For Mid Michigan

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 lost that much already.  It doesn’t seem like it was that warm the past few days.  Right now the sun is shining and it looks very pleasant out there.  Temperatures are in the upper 30s but that’s still below where it should be…

Winter Weather Continues in Mid Michigan

Winter Weather Continues in Mid Michigan

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 this date.  I’m still optimistic in thinking that we will see Indian Summer happening over the next few weeks.  I’m probably wrong, but I can dream, can’t I? Our 10 AM temperature is 29°F (-2°C), the humidity is 90% and skies are cloudy.  Winds…

November 12, A Record Breaking Day – Mid Michigan

November 12, A Record Breaking Day – Mid Michigan

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 for the date.  How about that?  Today seems tranquil although we could see a little more accumulations tonight.  Our snow pack is 6.5 inches and none is expected to melt over the next few days.  At least we didn’t get the large amounts that they…

Too Much Snow For This Time Of Year – Mid Michigan

Too Much Snow For This Time Of Year – Mid Michigan

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 winter for this part of the country but it isn’t even winter yet.  What’s worse is that temperatures will take a nose dive over the next few days with overnight lows falling into the single digits.  My…

Our First Snowfall Of The Season – Mid Michigan

Our First Snowfall Of The Season – Mid Michigan

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 winter is really here.  At least I don’t have to drive to work in it anymore Our 9:30 AM temperature is 28.6°F (-2°C), the humidity is 92% and the pressure is 30.17 in and falling.  Skies are overcast with…

Much Too Cold For This Time Of Year – Mid Michigan

Much Too Cold For This Time Of Year – Mid Michigan

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 highs only in the 20s.  On the positive side, we have bright sunshine today which makes it more bearable.  We are finishing cleaning up the yard and  putting the rest of the lawn furniture away.  The middle portions of…

Temperatures Much Below Normal – Mid Michigan

Temperatures Much Below Normal – Mid Michigan

This morning feels more like mid December rather than early November.  Temps were only in the 20s when I got up this morning and highs aren’t expected to reach any higher than 40° if even that high.  A mix of rain and snow is in the forecast with up to 2 inches possible to our north.  What’s worse is that there is no reprieve from this anytime soon. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 35°F (2°C), the humidity is 78%, and…

Very Cold Weather Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Very Cold Weather Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Our morning is starting out with clearing skies and temps in the 30s.  Our extended forecast is calling for temperatures much below normal  over the next two weeks.  Thanksgiving Day is only a few weeks away and I’m thinking that it may be a white one.  One local meteorologist is saying that we could get up to 2 inches of snow tomorrow.  Although that seems a bit early, it isn’t that unusual. Our 9:15 AM temperature is 38°F (3°C), the…

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds For Our Monday Morning – Mid Michigan

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds For Our Monday Morning – Mid Michigan

After a weekend of a mixed bag of weather, at least today should bring us temperatures closer to normal.  Saturday had a mix of everything from sun, clouds, and snow showers.  Sometimes it was even everything at one time.  Yesterday was more stable although we did pick up 0.06″ of rain overnight.  I’m not seeing rain in our forecast for today but that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen, especially looking at the radar.  This is typical November weather here…

A Wet, Dreary Start To November

A Wet, Dreary Start To November

Halloween was a bust for our area with moderate to heavy rain and cold temperatures.  Some kids had to go trick-or-treating in the snow.  Our snow didn’t come until overnight when we received about half an inch.  It melted soon after daybreak which is a good thing.  I didn’t even get my Halloween decor out this year since their was so much wind, and one TV station put the extreme Halloween weather stats on.  According to them, this Halloween broke…
