Our forecast for today called for sun and decreased winds.  So far, there has been no sign of the sun and the forecast is now saying mostly cloudy with possibly a little sun later on.  At least we don’t have strong wind so I guess we should be happy about that.  Yesterday was cloudy all day and the winds were pretty blustery, but there was some clearing to our north around sunset.  I thought for sure that today would be sunny.  But noooooo.  Oh well, it is December in Michigan and it could be much worse.  I have a mass of birds congregating at my feeder.  Sometimes I feel like half the birds in the county are here.  I love watching them as they fight to get their place in line.  Of course, the bigger birds get first dibs and the little ones just have to wait.  I think they knock half  of it off on the ground and we usually wait until most of that is gone before we refill.

Our 12:30 PM temperature is 33F (1C), the humidity is 72%, and winds are from the north at 3-10 mph.  The pressure is 30.00 in (1015.9) and steady.  the dew point is 22F (-6F) and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 42F (6C) and the overnight low was 26F (-3C).  Averages for this date are 36F / 25F.  Sunrise was at 7:52 AM and sunset will be at 5:01 PM.
