Not Much Chance Of A White Christmas For Mid Michigan

Not Much Chance Of A White Christmas For Mid Michigan

We woke to a sunny morning and milder temperatures.  We could see 50° over the next few days and that pretty much guarantees that we won’t have any snow for Christmas.  Right now, there is no precip in the forecast until Christmas Day and it’s rain at that.  It does seem a bit strange that the weather has been so dry lately since the past few months have been so wet.  In spite of the Farmer’s Almanac telling us that…

A Perfect December Day In Mid Michigan

A Perfect December Day In Mid Michigan

We have partly cloudy skies and a lot of sun on this Thursday.  Winds are moderate and temperatures are right where they should be.  Dry weather is in our forecast for the next week or so, and we finally got out and got our truck washed.  We certainly can’t complain about today’s weather or the upcoming days through Christmas.  Unfortunately, it won’t be white but oh well.  At least travel should be good this week. Our 2:15 PM temperature is…

Sunny But Very Cold In Mid Michigan

Sunny But Very Cold In Mid Michigan

We received a little snow overnight.  It was just enough to cover the ground, maybe half an inch.  Temperatures dipped into the teens overnight and it was only 13°F when I got up this morning.  Since then, it hasn’t warmed up much and the high today will only reach the low 20s if we are lucky.  We have had quite a bit of sun so that gives the illusion that it is warmer than what it is.  Fortunately, warmer temperatures…

A Typical December Day In Mid Michigan

A Typical December Day In Mid Michigan

Once again, we have about half an inch of snow cover which happened overnight.  Snow showers are in the forecast all day, so we can expect a bit more.  There are no stated total amounts listed so I’m assuming that it won’t be much.  Regardless, it’s a grey day with average temperatures and the sun is trying ti peek out right now.  It’s always nice to get a glimpse of the sun now and then this time of year. Our…

A Cloudy But Mild Saturday Morning

A Cloudy But Mild Saturday Morning

This morning is quite pleasant although it still is lacking in sunlight.  I think that we are getting used to that.  At least it isn’t bitter cold or snowing out.  Yesterday felt balmy with highs reaching into the 40s, and although today will be a little cooler, still won’t be too bad.  Everyone is busy getting ready for Christmas and I think I’m all set except for some last minute shopping.  I’m hoping for a little snow but I haven’t…

Snow Squall, Below Normal Temperatures In Mid Michigan

Snow Squall, Below Normal Temperatures In Mid Michigan

Today is one of the coldest that we have had yet this season.  Highs will only reach the mid 20s, and the wind chill will be much lower.  We had intermittent snow squalls all day yesterday which left an inch of snow cover by this morning.   These lake effect snow squalls are continuing but we are getting glimpses of the sun between them.  Right now, it is partly cloudy. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 23°F (-5°C), the humidity is 72%,…

Lake Effect Snow Squalls, Intermittent Sun For Our Tuesday.

Lake Effect Snow Squalls, Intermittent Sun For Our Tuesday.

Today is much colder than the past two days and it really feels like a winter day.  The high made it up to 50°F yesterday and what a difference a day makes.  We did receive about quarter of an inch of rain yesterday before it turned to snow.  There was just a trace on the ground when I got up, but now there is about half an inch with the snow bands that have been passing over us throughout the…

A Rainy Monday Morning For Mid Michigan

A Rainy Monday Morning For Mid Michigan

It feels like a morning in April with temps in the 40s and highs expected near 50°.  Unfortunately, it isn’t going to last.  There is a very cold weather system heading our way, and highs over the next few day will only reach the mid 20s.  Snow is in our forecast tonight although no significant accumulations are expected.  Right now we have light rain, and the radar is showing that this will probably be with us most of the day….

This morning is starting out with overcast skies but temperatures are fairly mild for early December.  We have no snow cover at this time and none is expected anytime soon.  We could see a few peeks of the sun later but conditions should remain dry.

Partly Cloudy, Normal Temperatures For Mid Michigan

Partly Cloudy, Normal Temperatures For Mid Michigan

We are seeing a little sun this morning but the wind is already picking up, making it feel colder than what it is.  Just seeing the sun makes it a pleasant morning.  The snow that we received is now gone, and we aren’t really expecting any significant amounts anytime soon.  The weather has been quite normal so far this season with the exception of the  snowstorm that we had in early November.  I’m hoping that it stays that way. Our…
