Our Thursday is starting out with clouds and chilly temperatures, but it feels good. The heat will return over the weekend with highs closer to normal once again. We could see a little rain also. At home, there hasn’t been any rain in over a week so they could use it. With the weekend coming, the campground will get quite busy with the weekenders coming and the added activity is always welcome. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 64F (18C), the…
Our morning is very warm and humid, typical for a July day in Michigan. Yesterday was sunny but the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was very evident in our skies and even looking at the horizon. As we traveled north, we could see differences in the density of the smoke in many areas. But regardless, we never saw blue sky yesterday in spite of the sun shining all day. Today is expected to be cloudy most of the day so…
Today is sunny but our skies look rather grey from the smoke from the western wildfires. Temperatures are much warmer than what we have had and that’s good for those who like hot weather. We are heading back to the north country tomorrow and the extended forecast looks pretty good for us. There is a slight chance of rain a few days but no total washouts expected. Highs are expected in the 70s which is perfect. Our 2:30 PM temperature…
Yesterday was supposed to be rainy and it wasn’t. Not one drop fell here. Today is also supposed to be wet but nothing so far. Radar is showing us right on the northern edge of the rain and I hope we stay there. As I have been saying, we don’t need anymore. Today is comfortably cool with highs only expected in the low 70s. That’s perfect as far as I’m concerned. We will be heading back to the campground on…
Our skies look like rain but radar is showing most of it to be passing to our west and north. I did have a few drops on my windshield earlier when coming home from Corunna, but nothing here at home. All the storms from last night fell apart before reaching my area and I’m happy about that. We have had way too much rain and the garden is showing it. My zucchini plants are turning yellow. The forecast for next…
Tuesday began with some sun and very humid conditions. Then the afternoon brought some thunderstorms which left us with an addition 0.84″ of rainfall, something we didn’t need. This morning is sunny and for once, there is no rain in the forecast. It’s only for one day, however, then more rain is in the forecast for the next two days. Right now, next week looks like we may have a dry spell and I hope that it happens. We’re getting…
My flowers in my beds are looking good, but those in my pots are looking pretty bad. There is even mold forming on the dirt. Some of the leaves are starting to dry up and they aren’t blossoming as they should. This is supposed to be our dry season and it’s been raining almost everyday. There was only a 20% chance of rain today, but it still rained this morning. I’m really sick of rain. I would rather have the…
Today was supposed to be rainy, but I’m seeing now that NOAA has reduced our rain chances to just 30%. I’m hoping that we don’t get any. The mosquitoes are horrid with all the rain that we’ve had. My area really has not had a drought like other parts of the state, and I guess we should be happy about that. But at this time, I think that no areas are considered drought-stricken any longer. The extended forecast from earlier…
Our morning began with clouds but now the sun is shining. This should be a nice day. Our last day up at the campground was a wash-out and miserable. Our trip home yesterday was wet most of the way, and once we got home, the mosquitoes were terrible. I know that they said that we were in a drought, but not where I live. We have received too much rain now and it’s time for it to stop. July is…
The rain began about 8 PM last night and has increased in intensity since then. We were supposed to go home today but extended our stay one day since we don’t like packing up in the rain. This is expected to continue all day and into tomorrow morning. I’m not sure what we’ll do today since the weather will not be suitable for being outdoors. At east it has cooled down which is a blessing since our AC isn’t working….
