A Snowy Sunday Afternoon – Mid Michigan

A Snowy Sunday Afternoon – Mid Michigan

The weather forecast called for about an inch of snow and I think we already have that.  This morning we only had about quarter of an inch and it’s been steadily snowing since then.  We are expecting another round of very cold air, so I don’t expect much melting to occur anytime soon.  We have about 4 inches of snow cover at this time. Our 3 PM temperature is 29F (-2C), the humidity is 79%, and winds are from the…

Another Winter Weather System Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Another Winter Weather System Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Although we are not under any watches or advisories yet, I’m expecting it to happen later on today.  This seems to be a repeat of last weekend.  We were only supposed to get 1-2 inches then, and that’s what they’re predicting for us tomorrow.  Last weekend, we got 4 inches and it has remained all week.  Temperatures have had a hard time making it to the freezing mark, and the only thawing that we’ve seen is where the sun was…

This morning was very cold with our wake up temp at only 10F.  Since then, the temperature has recovered into the low 20s and we aren’t expecting it to get much warmer.  At least we can sort of see the sun behind a veil of clouds and winds aren’t too strong.  We continue to have snow cover of about 4 inches and don’t expect that to melt anytime soon.  I’m hearing reports of another weather system moving in over the…

We have light snow falling at this time and now the forecast is calling for up to 2 inches of snow for us.  Yesterday was bright and sunny and I think that will have to do us for awhile.  The sun is rather scarce this time of year and we sure do appreciate it when we get it. Temps will be a little warmer today and light winds will make it more comfortable to be out and about. Our 11:45…

A Beautiful, Glorious Sunny Saturday In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful, Glorious Sunny Saturday In Mid Michigan

Although temperatures are very cold, the sun is bright and it raises one’s spirits just to look outdoors.  It was only 10F when I got up this morning and it has since warmed into the upper 20s.  Unfortunately it won’t last long.  There are several weather systems heading our way. The first should arrive tomorrow and could drop a couple inches of snow.  The second one is more potent, but last reports indicate that it should remain to our south. …
