Light Snow Cover This Morning – Mid Michigan

Light Snow Cover This Morning – Mid Michigan

We received about half an inch of snow overnight and light flurries continue at this time.  Our temperatures today won’t rise much above what they are right now, and more snow is expected tomorrow.  So it looks like our landscape will be white for at least a few days.  We are on the very northern portion of a large winter storm that will dump up to a foot of snow on Ohio and surrounding states.  I’m very happy with the…

A Sunny Beginning To Our Sunday In Mid Michigan

A Sunny Beginning To Our Sunday In Mid Michigan

We had a beautiful morning with clear skies and moderately cool temperatures, but now our sky is almost completely cloud covered.  We are expecting warmer than normal temperatures today but much cooler weather is expected the remaining week.  In fact, we could see our first measurable snowfall.  This could begin as early as tomorrow and local weather gurus are saying that we could get up to 4 inches.  But hey, it’s almost December and it’s that time of year.  It’s…

Finally, A Sunny Day In Mid Michigan

Finally, A Sunny Day In Mid Michigan

After a very dreary past two days, the sun is a very welcome sight this morning.  There was a heavy frost overnight, but the sun is quickly melting it.  Yesterday was foggy and drizzly early, then the afternoon remained damp and cloudy.  Although our temperatures are quite cool, the sun always makes it feel warmer. Our 9:45 PM temp is 32F (0C), the humidity is 93% and winds are from the W at 2-7 mph.  The dew point is 28F…

A Dreary But Warm Thanksgiving Day

A Dreary But Warm Thanksgiving Day

Our Thanksgiving Day was quite pleasant.  There was drizzle early but the remainder of the day wasn’t too  bad.  my husband smoked our turkey and it turned out great.  The weather cooperated, and although we didn’t see any sun, being outdoors wasn’t bad at all.  Today will be about the same with highs in the mid 40s, and there is a slight chance of rain this morning.  The kids are all home and there are plenty of left-overs for today. …

A Blah Day In Mid Michigan

A Blah Day In Mid Michigan

There isn’t too much we can say about today except that it is dry, cloudy and very chilly.  At least the wind isn’t an issue.  Highs will remain in the 30s and we aren’t expecting much, if any, sun.  We could see rain and a little snow later on.  In other words, it’s a typical November day in mid Michigan. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 35F (2C), the humidity is 85% and winds are from the ESE at 1-3 mph. …

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds – Mid Michigan

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds – Mid Michigan

Today began with clouds and a little rain, then skies became mostly clear.  Now they are mostly cloudy once again.  Highs never reached the mid 40s as was predicted and winds were pretty brisk.  We had snow showers all day Sunday but most melted as it fell.  There was a trace on the ground this morning but it’s gone now.  Tomorrow is expected to be a sloppy day with a mix of rain and snow.  We could see our first…

A Snowy Morning In Mid Michigan

A Snowy Morning In Mid Michigan

We woke this morning to snow flurries.  We aren’t really expecting much in accumulation although the southern portions of the state are already reporting an inch of snow cover.  Temperatures will remain in the 30s and winds shouldn’t be too significant.  Radar is showing most of the snow in the southern half of the state, and it seems to be moving more to the east than north.  I don’t expect that we’ll see much sun today. Our 9 AM temperature…

Another Nice November Day in Mid Michigan

Another Nice November Day in Mid Michigan

Although the temperatures have dropped significantly, we have plenty of sun and not too much wind.  We have had a lot of sunny days this November which is quite rare for us. I love it.  One doesn’t mind the short daylight hours when you can see sunshine throughout the day.  It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving day is next week already, and Christmas is a month away.  I haven’t even thought about shopping yet  Our extended forecast is calling for…

A Beautiful, Windy November Day In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful, Windy November Day In Mid Michigan

We certainly can’t complain about our weather today, although it is a bit blustery.  Temperatures have reached the 60s and we have plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, today will probably be the final day for this warm weather.  We even sat outdoors for a bit where the wind couldn’t reach us, and it was very pleasant.  Although cooler temps will be here tomorrow, we aren’t expecting any precipitation until Sunday. Our 2:45 PM temp is 61F (16C), the humidity is 62%,…

Very Windy But Warm In Mid Michigan

Very Windy But Warm In Mid Michigan

Today has been quite nice in spite of the wind.  We are currently under a wind advisory until 5 PM and temperatures are in the mid 60s which compensates for the strong winds.  We have had mostly sun until about an hours ago, now the skies have become mostly cloudy.  Tomorrow is still expected to be quite warm, but then they will fall back to a normal range the remainder of the week.  But hey!  This is November in Michigan….
