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…
We had to go to Owosso this morning, and there were several strong showers that dumped on us. One even had a little hail mixed in. When we got home, there was only 0.04″ in my gauge. So most of the rain has missed my area. Radar is showing a lot more coming, so I think this entire day will be quite wet. Also, temperatures have been falling and it really feels like fall. Our 2:30 pm temperature is 47°F,…
After a few days of great fall weather, reality has returned. Temps today won’t be too chilly, but the cold front moves in tomorrow with much colder temps and even possible thunderstorms possible. We received 0.37″ of rain overnight and we have had intermittent sprinkles since then. Radar is showing scattered rain across the state so it seems that this Wednesday will be mostly wet. The sun has briefly stuck it’s head out but only for a few minutes. I…
I know that my blogs gets a bit redundant at times, but there is really nothing else to be said. Our weather so far this autumn has been amazing. We are seeing more color each day and temperatures have been comfortable. The past two days have been a bit blustery, but today is calm with plenty of sun. We should see the mid 60s for our high with no precipitation expected. Once again, we are enjoying the last of our…
Today is quite a bit warmer than yesterday with highs expected in the mid 60s. In fact, we are already there. The warmth will continue over the next several days before the next wave of cold air comes our way. But we’ll enjoy it while we have it. It is getting pretty dry and we could really use some rain. The farmers are all out cutting the corn and soy beans, and they’re probably happy for the dry weather. There…
We had our first hard freeze last night and some areas of the state reported snow flurries. If we had gotten any precipitation overnight, I’m sure it also would have been snow. My roses and mums survived and I haven’t looked at my hanging plants yet. I set them right next to the house so I think they should be okay. Looking ahead, I’m seeing more 70 degree days next week, but rain is also expected. We are losing more…
