More Snow . . . .

More Snow . . . .

We had intermittent snow showers all day Friday, and we now have about an inch of snow cover.  This morning has had off and on snow showers and temperatures are very chilly.  Yes, it looks and feels like winter today.  There is no warmup expected anytime soon.  I guess it’s time to put the bird seed feeder out. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 27°F, the humidity is 78%, and winds are from the west at 5-14 mph.  Skies are overcast…

First Snow Cover Of The Season . . .

First Snow Cover Of The Season . . .

Well, it finally happened . . . . we have a white world this morning.  It began as graupel last night, then changed to snow before dawn.  I have to admit that I welcome the brightness that it brings.  We don’t even need any lights on.  We only have about half an inch.  With our high today only near the freezing mark, I don’t expect this to melt right away, and snow is in our forecast for most of this…

Finally, Some Sun . . . .

Finally, Some Sun . . . .

Looking out the window, one would think it was sunny and warm.  Well, the sunny part is right, but the temperature is far from warm, and the wind makes it even worse.  We did our running around for the day, and now it’s time to start preparing for Thanksgiving.  The weather for the holiday doesn’t seen too bad, but the weekend will really feel like winter. Our 3 PM temperature is 40°F, the humidity is 62%, and skies are mostly…

Wet And Gloomy . . . . .

Wet And Gloomy . . . . .

We have another wet, gloomy day, not at all unusual for November.  Our temperature will still be mild but much colder temps are in the forecast for the upcoming week.  I guess we really can’t complain with what this fall has been like.  At least we don’t have any major snow storms in the forecast . . . . at least not yet. Our 11 AM temp is 45°F, the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast.  The pressure is…

Cold And Gloomy . . . .

Cold And Gloomy . . . .

Although it is dry, it looks like rain could fall anytime, although not in our forecast.  It seems to be a bit brighter than earlier but I don’t think we will see much, if any, sun today.  It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this week already, and I’m seeing many Christmas lights going up outdoors.  Some people really get into decorating, and I do enjoy seeing them, but we’ve gotten too old to do much of that anymore.  I’ll…

Our 2:30 PM temperature is 45°F,…

A Dreary, Rainy Day . . . .

Weather-wise, today is not nice at all.  It is cold, drizzly and enough wind to drive the cold right through you.  Yes, it is a typical day for late November in Michigan.  I guess I’ll just plan to stay indoors again today.

First Snow Of The Season . . . .

First Snow Of The Season . . . .

We had a very light covering of snow this morning, just on bare surfaces.  Now we have occasional sprinkles of rain and very chilly temperatures.  It really feels like winter out there.  We are now seeing a few peeks of the sun, coming out from behind dark clouds.  There is just enough wind to make it even colder, so I’m not going to be outdoors anymore than I have to. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is…
