This is expected to be a very nice weekend with very warm temps and plenty of sun. We are celebrating my oldest son’s birthday so I’m very happy that the weather will be nice. This morning isn’t quite a chilly as it has been and our snow cover remains at around 50%. I expect that to be gone by tomorrow night. Our 9:15 AM temp is 31°F (-1°C), the humidity is 63% and skies are clear. Winds are from the…
We are expecting plenty of sun over the next 3 to 4 days, and that just doesn’t happen in February in Michigan. Although our current temp is only 24°F, there seems to be quite a bit of melting out there in the sun. Our snow cover has dwindled to about 50% and that will probably be gone by late Sunday. They are now telling us that we can expect an early spring and that seems to be happening. I hesitate…
For southern Michigan, this has been the type of winter that makes you think that you’ll never dread winter again. Today is sunny and looking outdoors, one would think that it’s a day in April. We have lost about half of our snow pack, and even though it is quite cold, the sun makes it seem much warmer and much of the snow is melting. We have another period of above normal temps coming for the weekend and the next…
We received about an inch of snow late last night but it was all melted this morning when I woke. Winds have now increased and skies are cloudy. Our snow cover is about 80% and I expect that the warmer temps will do away with much of it today. This winter has been a welcome experience for us after what we had last year. It almost doesn’t seem like we had any winter. This was supposed to be a very…
Yesterday was a beautiful day with plenty of sun and highs which made it up to 40°. We did lose a little snow pack and I measured about 2.8 inches still on the ground this morning. Today isn’t expected to be as warm, and a mix of rain and snow is in the forecast for late tonight. Skies are mostly cloudy right now with filtered sun. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 23°F (-5°C), the humidity is 71% and winds are…
After a very frigid past two days, the sun today is a welcome sight. The temperature even made it up to 40° according to my weather station. Much of the snow is melting, especially in the sunny areas. As of 8 AM, we still had 3.5 in of snow cover and I know that will be significantly less by tomorrow. Days like this really give me spring fever. Yes, I’m ready for winter to end, even though we didn’t have…
My weather station is telling me that is got down to -6°F overnight although it was 1°F when I got up at 8:30 AM. Regardless, it feels mighty cold out there in spite of the sun. Skies have been clear all morning and are just now starting to cloud up a bit. Thankfully, there isn’t much wind. We have about 4.5 inches of snow cover now and I’m expecting much of that to melt this weekend. Our 1:30 PM temperature…
We woke to an additional 2+ inches of new snow and it is still coming down at a moderate clip. The forecast called for 1-2 inches for my area, but we already have that and the radar is showing no end to it anytime soon. What’s worse is that we have some very cold air heading our way for the next two days, the coldest of the season so far. Mother Nature seems to be making up for our mild…
Current forecasts don’t seem as ominous as what I heard a few days ago. They were actually talking blizzard conditions. Now they are predicting just 1-3 inches in our area with winds in the 20 mph range. I think we can deal with that. We had some sun earlier but now clouds have moved in. The snow is expected to begin late tonight and continue into tomorrow. Our 2 PM temperature is 32°F (0°C), the humidity is 66% and skies…
Our Tuesday morning is cloudy but bright with the snow. We had filtered sunlight earlier but that has passed. There is nothing special expected today in the weather department, just a normal February day. Yesterday was quite nice with plenty of sun and very little wind. It was a good day for snow cleanup. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 31°F (-1°C), the humidity is 77%, and winds are from the west at 4-9 mph. The dew point is 24°F (-4°C)…
