Nasty Weather Expected For Our New Year’s Day – Mid Michigan

Nasty Weather Expected For Our New Year’s Day – Mid Michigan

Although I doubt that there will be much partying going on tonight, those who do have to be traveling may find it quite difficult.  There is a wintry mix in the forecast with freezing rain for our New Year’s Day.  This is going to be a strange year with few of the regular New Year festivities. No tournament of roses parade, and no big crowds for the ball drop in New York.   The Rose Parade has always been the highlight…

Today Is Supposed To Be Sunny, But Not Much Sun So Far – Mid Michigan

Today Is Supposed To Be Sunny, But Not Much Sun So Far – Mid Michigan

Today began very cold with temps in the teens and we’ll be lucky to see the freezing mark today.  At least we don’t have strong winds to contend with.  Yesterday was a sad day for us.  My daughter had to have her old dog put to sleep and that’s always a hard thing to do.  The dog was 16 years old and my daughter  had her from a puppy.  So that put a bit of a damper on our holidays. …

December Ending With Quiet, Normal Weather – Mid Michigan

December Ending With Quiet, Normal Weather – Mid Michigan

This, being our last week of December, is quite uneventful.  There are no major storms or any significant weather in the forecast.  The little snow that we have is slowly melting and rain in the the forecast for tonight.  Temperatures will be about normal and we aren’t expected to see much sun over the next week.  That’s typical for Michigan at this time of year.  At least with some snow, it doesn’t seem so dreary out there. Our 2:45 PM…

We Did Have A White Christmas Her In Mid Michigan

We Did Have A White Christmas Her In Mid Michigan

We had continual light snow showers all day yesterday and we did accumulate exactly 1 inch of total snow cover.  Today is peaceful, weather-wise, and it is cloudy with temperatures right near normal.  So it isn’t a bad day to be out and about.  All my kids are home for the weekend and we’re just enjoying our time together.  Up until now, we weren’t able to do this because of the virus.  Hopefully, things are looking up. Our 12:45 PM…

Our Warmest Day This Week – Mid Michigan

Our Warmest Day This Week – Mid Michigan

As warm as today is, it is not pleasant to be outdoors due to the strong winds.  We have a large cold front coming tomorrow and temperatures will be dropping all day.  We have reached our high of 50F but the winds make it feel much colder.  Snow is in the forecast but we aren’t expecting a lot.  We have to get an inch to be considered a white Christmas and it is questionable if that will happen. Our 3:45…

Another Gloomy But Fairly Mild Day In Mid Michigan

Another Gloomy But Fairly Mild Day In Mid Michigan

I think that our mild weather is coming to an end looking at the extended forecast on Christmas.  Tomorrow will probably be the warmest that we’ll see for awhile with highs expected to reach near 50F.  The high temp on Christmas is only expected to reach the mid 20s.  I’m wishing that these clouds would move out so that we get to see the Christmas star.  Some have already seen it but as usual, we have cloudy skies.  This always…

A Mild First Day Of Winter For Mid Michigan

A Mild First Day Of Winter For Mid Michigan

Our December weather continues to be mild and quite uneventful.  Highs today should remain in the mid to upper 30s with little precipitation in the forecast.  I’m hearing the latest forecast calling for a possible white Christmas for us and very cold temperatures.  We can now look forward to our daylight hours getting longer.  My husband wanted to smoke a ham on Christmas but I think it will be much too cold for that.  I can’t believe that Christmas is…

A Not So Nice Day In Mid Michigan

A Not So Nice Day In Mid Michigan

We have another gloomy day with temps hovering right near the freezing mark.  The little snow that we had yesterday is now gone and a little mist could be felt when I was outdoors a while ago.  No sun is expected and a mix of rain and snow is a real possibility this afternoon.  Highs in the 40s are expected tomorrow and early next week.  The long range forecast is predicting above-normal temperatures for us right into March.  That would…

Light Snow And Cloudy Skies For Mid Michigan

Light Snow And Cloudy Skies For Mid Michigan

Today seems like a typical December day in Michigan with cloudy skies, temps in the 20s, and light snow falling.  Highs today will probably not rise above freezing but we’re expecting a warmup by the weekend.  Once again, the snow has missed us and all we have is a very light covering, mainly on bare surfaces.  There wasn’t even enough to measure this morning.  I wouldn’t mind getting a little for Christmas but it isn’t looking too promising at this…

A Snowy Morning In Mid Michigan

A Snowy Morning In Mid Michigan

We seem to be right on the northern edge of a large winter storm which will affect much of New England, Pennsylvania and New York.  Once again we are lucking out and our ground remains snow-less and green at this time.  Accumulations for us should be less than an inch but the southern portions of the state could get a few inches.  There is another warmup coming for the weekend, so any snow on the ground won’t last long. Our…
