Today is finally acting like January. We seem to be right on the line between rain and snow, and snow has been gently falling all morning. There is just a light covering on the grass and that will probably be gone by this afternoon. It’s supposed to get quite windy later, but winds have been pretty quiet so far. Also the temperature is expected to rise near 40°F, and the precip should be all rain. There is no sign of…
We have some possible nasty weather heading our way although there are no watches or warnings for our area at this time. It appears that most of it will come as rain with heavy snow to our north. Regardless, I don’t plan on going anywhere until it has passed. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 84%, and skies are overcast. Winds are from the south at 3-7 mph. The pressure is 30.21 in and rising, and the…
Snow began falling late yesterday afternoon and continued overnight. There is about half an inch on the ground which melted down to 0.02″ in my rain gauge. I don’t expect it to last long since highs today should reach the mid 30s. A winter storm is still pending for our area on Tuesday and Wednesday, but it’s total impact on us still remains to be seen. Our 11:45 AM temperature is 33°F (1°C), the humidity is 95%, and skies are…
According to YouTube weather guru, Ryan Hall, we have a number of potential snowstorms heading our way by the end of January. So far, our winter has been snowless. If fact, the most snow that we’ve had so far was on Halloween. The forecast is calling for snow showers most of this week, but I’m not seeing any potential snow amounts mentioned. I guess I’ll cancel our trip to Detroit on Wednesday and postpone it until this spring. The upcoming…
We have yet another very cold day ahead with highs expected to not rise much above freezing. No real precipitation is expected until next week, and I’m hoping that it comes as rain, not snow. So far, the weather forecasts are inconclusive. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 32°F (0°C), the humidity is 78%, and skies are overcast. Winds are from the south at 3-9 mph, and the wind chill is 24F (-4C). The dew point is 24°F (-4°C) and the…
Today is one of the coldest that we have had yet this winter. Skies continue to be cloudy and occasional snow flurried appear from time to time. The wind isn’t too bad and that makes it tolerable. This weather is a shock to the system after the mild December that we had; but I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. After all, it is January. Our 2 PM temperature is 27°F (-3°C), the humidity is 65%, and skies are cloudy. It…
I guess I shouldn’t complain. We could be buried under a foot of snow. There is a winter storm brewing next week, from what I understand. My son has an appointment in Detroit on Wednesday, and I pray that the roads will be good that day. If not, we’ll be rescheduling once again. Tuesday is the day that the storm will hit our area, but there is plenty of time for it to change it’s mind. We can only hope….
After a cloudy, dull couple of days, we are finally seeing the sun this afternoon. I was having my doubts this morning, but the clouds are finally moving out. Unfortunately, it won’t make much difference in the comfort factor outdoors, but at least it isn’t dreary anymore. We have strong winds making it feel colder than what the thermometer reads so I’m glad that I don’t have to go anywhere. Our 3 PM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 78%,…
New Years Eve was uneventful for us, and the ball dropped without much fanfare here at our house. It doesn’t cause much excitement for us anymore and just marks the end of the Christmas activity for the most part. Our weather was misty but not cold enough to freeze, at least until early this morning. There was a light covering of snow on my deck and other smooth surfaces and most has melted. Highs today never made it above freezing…
