My husband and I took a ride early today to see what remains of our autumn colors. Many trees are already bare, but the maples seem to be hanging tough. It is absolutely gorgeous with highs now expected in the upper 70s today. There is just enough breeze to feel comfortable and the humidity is low. As I’ve said before, this autumn season has been spectacular here in mid Michigan and I hate to see it end. Our 2 PM…
Yesterday was great but today is even better. We should see high temps reaching the mid 70s although it will be quite breezy. But we won’t complain. This should continue up to Tuesday when more rain is expected. This autumn season has been wonderful and I wouldn’t mind a bit if it stretched into November, but I don’t think that will happen. Just thankful for what we’re getting. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 69°F, the humidity is 43%, and skies…
After the cold, rainy weather of the past 2 days, we now have plenty of sun and much warmer temperatures. This is expected to last through the next 3 days. It is certainly welcome after the miserable weather that we had, but I guess we may as well get used to it. With November knocking on the door, I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot of this coming soon. Our 1 PM temperature is 65F,…
Our morning began with clouds and rain, but now the sun is out and temps are warming up a bit. They should only reach the upper 40s, but with the sun, that will be pleasant. It was raining when we went to the store this morning, and it appeared to be mixed with a little snow. Some on my flowers are still hanging in there. My mums are in full bloom and the roses are looking good. My hanging baskets…
At least, it isn’t raining today and we could see a little clearing later on. Other than that, there isn’t much of a change from what we had yesterday. Temperature are much below normal, and we continue to have brisk winds which make it feel even colder. We received close to half an inch of rain yesterday and last night, and I think it is done for the day. Some places in northern Michigan have well over a foot of…
Today is a dark, dreary day with intermittent rain falling. Yesterday’s showers brought us our first snow of the season, and even though it was a snow and rain mix, it still looked like white flakes to me. There is no snow falling today, although it certainly is cold enough. It looks and feels like a day in late November and a local meteorologist said that there are 18 ft. waves on Lake Michigan today, and 24 ft. waves on…
Although our temperatures are much below average, we are expecting another warmup by the weekend. Temps could rise to near 70F once again. But before that happens, we could get our first taste of snow. No accumulations are expected but flurries are indeed a possibility. The weather this year has certainly been a roller coaster, and just when we think there will be no more warm temps, Mother Nature surprises us. We have a wedding to go to on Friday,…
This cold spell continues and is expected to remain up until next weekend. I’m hearing that there is a winter storm warning up for our UP with 18 inches of snow possible. I’m not quite ready to hear that yet, and hope it stays up there for at least another month. As for us, we could see our first snow flurries of the season this week, but no accumulations are expected. . . . at least not at this time,…
We are supposed to see the sun today, but haven’t seen much so far. It was clear earlier but since then, clouds have taken over. We received a total of 0.12″ of rain overnight and we aren’t expecting anymore this weekend. It wouldn’t be bad outdoors if not for the wind, but we may as well get used to it. All the weather gurus are telling us that this will be a hard winter for our area, and it probably…
Yesterday brought us off-and-on showers but no large amounts. There was 0nly 0.04″ in my gauge this morning although we did run into some heavy rain when we went to Owosso. There was even a little hail mixed in. Today has been mostly cloudy but now we are seeing more blue sky and sun. Temps are only in the 50s and the wind makes it feel more like the 40s. There is more rain in the forecast for tonight. Our…
