Mid Michigan Weather

This weather is fantastic.  Our November and December seems to have flip-flopped this year and it feels like anything but December outdoors.  Today is expected to be the warmest but temperatures will remain well above average through the weekend.  I do like snow for Christmas but it’s really hard to find fault with what we are having this year. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 45°F (7°F), the humidity is 61%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the southwest…

This weather is wonderful for late December.  I went out with a light jacket yesterday and took my dog out for a good run.  She really enjoyed it, and I think that she was starting to get cabin fever.  If it stayed this way the rest of the winter, I wouldn’t complain..  It feels more like Easter than Christmas, and it should continue for the remainder of the week.   So far, Farmer’s Almanac has been very wrong, at least for…

This weather is what we should have had in early November instead of 6 inches of snow, but that’s okay.  We’ll take it.  This entire week is expected to see temperatures well into the 40s and even topping off at 50°F on Monday.  Better yet, the sun should be plentiful and no precip expected until later next week.  Of course, we all know how fast that can change.  It will be perfect for any traveling and last minute Christmas shopping….

We woke to a sunny morning and milder temperatures.  We could see 50° over the next few days and that pretty much guarantees that we won’t have any snow for Christmas.  Right now, there is no precip in the forecast until Christmas Day and it’s rain at that.  It does seem a bit strange that the weather has been so dry lately since the past few months have been so wet.  In spite of the Farmer’s Almanac telling us that…

We have partly cloudy skies and a lot of sun on this Thursday.  Winds are moderate and temperatures are right where they should be.  Dry weather is in our forecast for the next week or so, and we finally got out and got our truck washed.  We certainly can’t complain about today’s weather or the upcoming days through Christmas.  Unfortunately, it won’t be white but oh well.  At least travel should be good this week. Our 2:15 PM temperature is…

We received a little snow overnight.  It was just enough to cover the ground, maybe half an inch.  Temperatures dipped into the teens overnight and it was only 13°F when I got up this morning.  Since then, it hasn’t warmed up much and the high today will only reach the low 20s if we are lucky.  We have had quite a bit of sun so that gives the illusion that it is warmer than what it is.  Fortunately, warmer temperatures…

Once again, we have about half an inch of snow cover which happened overnight.  Snow showers are in the forecast all day, so we can expect a bit more.  There are no stated total amounts listed so I’m assuming that it won’t be much.  Regardless, it’s a grey day with average temperatures and the sun is trying ti peek out right now.  It’s always nice to get a glimpse of the sun now and then this time of year. Our…

This morning is quite pleasant although it still is lacking in sunlight.  I think that we are getting used to that.  At least it isn’t bitter cold or snowing out.  Yesterday felt balmy with highs reaching into the 40s, and although today will be a little cooler, still won’t be too bad.  Everyone is busy getting ready for Christmas and I think I’m all set except for some last minute shopping.  I’m hoping for a little snow but I haven’t…

Today is one of the coldest that we have had yet this season.  Highs will only reach the mid 20s, and the wind chill will be much lower.  We had intermittent snow squalls all day yesterday which left an inch of snow cover by this morning.   These lake effect snow squalls are continuing but we are getting glimpses of the sun between them.  Right now, it is partly cloudy. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 23°F (-5°C), the humidity is 72%,…

Today is much colder than the past two days and it really feels like a winter day.  The high made it up to 50°F yesterday and what a difference a day makes.  We did receive about quarter of an inch of rain yesterday before it turned to snow.  There was just a trace on the ground when I got up, but now there is about half an inch with the snow bands that have been passing over us throughout the…
