Cloudy And Cold . . . . .

Cloudy And Cold . . . . .

After a record breaking warm day on Saturday,  today will be back to where it should be for this date.  It doesn’t look like we will be having anymore warm days for awhile, and snow is in our forecast for today.  One of the YouTube weather guys says that a polar vortex will be affecting us around Christmas.  It would be nice if it brought some snow as well.  A white Christmas is always nice. Our 11:15 AM temperature is…

A Little Rain For Our Friday . . . .

A Little Rain For Our Friday . . . .

Our chance for rain was very slight today, but we did have a quick passing shower earlier. The main issue today is the wind.  We are  under a wind advisory until 6 PM. Gusts as high as 40 mph are possible, so not the kind of day where one would want to be outdoors.  Highs are supposed to be in the  upper 50s, and our car thermometer showed 61°F (16°C) while we were at the store.  It didn’t last long…

More Cloudy Weather . . . .

More Cloudy Weather . . . .

Our day began with sun, but now skies have become overcast although no sign of any precipitation.  Also, temperatures are very mild, in the 50s.  So that alone makes for a pretty nice day.  More seasonable weather will come for our weekend and we could get some rain as well as gusty winds.  Next week will bring seasonable temperatures and mostly dry weather. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 52°F (11°C), the humidity is 69%, and skies are cloudy.  Winds are…

A Beautiful End To A Very Nice Day . . . . .

A Beautiful End To A Very Nice Day . . . . .

Today was about as nice as one can expect in December here in Michigan.  Highs reached the upper 40s and light winds.  It is ending with a lovely sunset  We had sun most of the day, so not the dreary weather that we are used to.  Tomorrow should also be quite nice, but maybe not as sunny as today.  I’m waiting to here about the possible storm that was predicted for early next week.  No update on that as yet….

Light Snow To Start Our Day . . . . .

Light Snow To Start Our Day . . . . .

We have light snow this morning which is starting to accumulate on bare surfaces.  The forecast isn’t calling for much, and radar isn’t showing much coming.  Today should be our last cold day, then tomorrow begins a welcome warmup, and we could see highs in the 50s for a few days. Our 11 AM temperature is 34°F (1°C), the humidity is 97%, and skies are cloudy with light snow.  Winds are calm and the dew point is 31°F (-1°C).  The…

Another Cloudy, Cold Day . . . .

Another Cloudy, Cold Day . . . .

Today isn’t that unpleasant, mostly because there is very little wind, and temperatures are where they should be for this date.  There is supposed to be a warmup later in the month but that remains to be seen.  My YouTube weather guy, Ryan Hall, is talking about a possible snowstorm in our area around Dec. 10 and 11.  That’s still a ways off so we’ll see what happens with that one.  Meanwhile, our weather continues to be insignificant in terms…

Rain Is Over, But Clouds Remain . . . . .

Rain Is Over, But Clouds Remain . . . . .

After a rainy Sunday, which left us with a little over quarter of an inch of rainfall, today is expected to be dry but I doubt that we’ll see much sun.  Highs should make it up to near 40F with light winds.  So I think it will be a decent day all and all. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 33°F (1°C), the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the NW at 2-7 mph, and the dew…

Rain, Rain, and More Rain . . . .

Rain, Rain, and More Rain . . . .

The rain began overnight and is expected to continue all day.  It’s a wet and gloomy Sunday, a good day to stay in and watch football . . . . or basketball, whichever you prefer.  I enjoyed the college football games yesterday, especially since Michigan won the Big 10 Championship.  My brother’s team, the Washington Huskies also took their division title, but Michigan will be going to the Rose Bowl.  The Wolverines and the Huskies are one and two in…

Cloudy And Damp For Our Saturday . . . . .

Cloudy And Damp For Our Saturday . . . . .

Our rain ended late yesterday and we received little over half an inch in all.  We could see some sprinkles or snow flurries today but nothing is happening at this time.  It is cloudy and damp, and I don’t think that we’ll be seeing any sun today.  At least the highs should make it into the low 40s.  That’s much closer to where they should be for this date. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 94%,…

Rain For Our Friday . . . . .

Rain For Our Friday . . . . .

Yesterday was beautiful, but rain began early this morning and will probably continue through most of the day.  The rain/snow line is barely to our north so it doesn’t look like we’ll get any of the snow showers that were predicted.  At least rain doesn’t make slick roads.  The radar looks like it will end later this afternoon unless more develops. So I’ll wait to go shopping until tonight. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 40°F (4°C), the humidity is 97%,…
