After spending the past three days in very chilly Indian River, we came home yesterday, traveling in a mix of snow and rain most of the way home. Just north of Gaylord, it was snowing so hard that visibility was reduced to about a mile. By the time we reached Gaylord , it had changed to all rain again. We did have dry weather at the campground, but temperatures were below average, and nights were downright cold. We managed to…
After an almost “hot” day yesterday, today is just the opposite. Temps did reach into the low 80s and it actually felt hot for the first time. Fortunately there was a nice breeze all day so it was comfortable. Rain began sometime overnight but there was only 0.02″ in my gauge this morning. We have had intermittent sprinkles and drizzle since then. We can expect this to be the normal today and it should end sometime tomorrow morning according to…
Our morning began with clear skies, but now they have become mostly cloudy. Temperatures will be mild today although I don’t think it will quite make it up to 70 degrees. Once again, the winds are pretty strong so that makes it feel even colder. There is the possibility for hit-or-miss rain, and the radar is showing some activity to our north and west. My husband just got the truck washed so that will draw rain for sure. Next week…
Our morning began with rain, but now the sun is out and it appears to be a beautiful day. But just step outdoors where the wind can hit you, and it doesn’t feel so nice. Strong winds have been the norm this spring, which is to be expected with these extreme temperature variations that we have had. Today will be cool, but then another blast of 70 degree weather for the weekend. We really need the rain that we received…
Our morning began with a few sprinkles, but it has now progressed into a steady rain. Temperatures won’t even come close to average today but at least it isn’t snowing. It’s hard to believe that this is the last week of April already, and I hope that the summer doesn’t pass at quickly as this spring is. We really are having a lovely spring so far and I figure that the leaves are about 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule. The…
Our temperatures were supposed to be in the 60s today and it isn’t going to happen. In fact, we’ll be doing good to hit 50°F. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 80°F and I’m wondering if that will happen. Not only is is cold, but it’s also windy and that makes it seem even colder. I’m hoping that we see a little sun but not looking good right now. Yesterday turned out quite nice and skies cleared up by late in…
Our morning was cloudy and very chilly, but skies started clearing by noon, and it has become a lovely afternoon. Unfortunately, temps are cold and a brisk wind makes it even colder. We have very warm, summer-like temperatures coming over the next several days and we have that to look forward to. But, of course, storms will probably come with them. This is supposed to be our rainy season so getting more rain in okay and good for the farmers….
This morning has been dry and mild, but rain is showing up on radar and should be here soon. We aren’t expecting a lot, but it will probably be wet most of this afternoon and early evening. The temperatures seem to be stabilizing at near normal levels, and I’m not seeing any extreme cold coming in the near future. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 59°F (15°C), the humidity is 50% and winds are from the ESE at 2-6 mph. Skies…
After three days of below normal temperatures, we will finally see our temps back up where they should be. The past three nights have brought heavy frost to some areas and I haven’t heard anything about fruit damage yet. None of my plants seem to be affected but perennials are quite hardy anyway. The leaves continue to come out a little more every day and we’re seeing the forsythias and azaleas in full bloom. This is such a great time…
Today began with clear skies but now clouds are filling most of the sky. Temperatures are only in the 40s and there is a brisk wind from the north. It feels more like March than mid April, but we are promised that warm temps are on the way. In fact, next Tuesday could reach near 80°F. Unfortunately, that also brings the possibility of some severe weather, although most is supposed to stay to our south. Since I no longer get…
