Monday was a beautiful day with sun all day long and just enough breeze to help dry the ground out a bit. Highs made it into the upper 60s, so it was quite pleasant. We can expect this weather to last most of this week, and then who knows what will happen? I’m hearing that “s” word but I think it is for more north of us. I have seen snow cover in October before although it doesn’t happen very…
Finally, Some Beautiful Autumn Weather – Mid Michigan
After a very wet start to our October, we are finally getting some fine autumn weather. This entire week is supposed to be dry with plenty of sun and normal temperatures. Our weekend was quite nice although we did get a little rain on Friday. Today should see high temps in the upper 60s and breezy. We’ll take it! Our 9:15 AM temp is 52°F (11°C), the humidity is 85% and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the southwest…
It Feels Like November This Morning – Mid Michigan
Yesterday was the first time that we had the furnace on all day. Temperatures only make it up to the mid 50s and the wind made it even colder. At least we didn’t get any rain. Today’s forecast differs depending on who you are listening to, but I don’t think that any rain is expected until tonight. The sun did manage to peek out yesterday very briefly. I hope that we see more today and that it’s a little warmer….
Another Soggy Day For Mid Michigan
We have received almost three inches of rain over the past three days and this deary weather is taking a toll on my mood. I haven’t been by the river lately but I’m sure that it is well over it’s banks. At least today should be the last of it according to latest forecast and we should see some sun tomorrow. We have received 4.21″ of rain since Sept. 28. That’s more than the normal precipitation amount for the entire…
Flooding Rain For Mid Michigan
The system which brought record snowfall to Montana is now over us, and I guess we should just be happy that we are getting rain and not snow. It started raining yesterday morning and continued throughout the night. The rain yesterday was intermittent and not that heavy. Last night, however, was a different story. A slow moving thunderstorm approached right around midnight and left 1.07″ in my rain gauge. That was in addition to the 0.38″ from earlier in the…
More Heavy Rain On The Way For Mid Michigan
Although temperatures today will be almost record setting, with the heat comes another round of heavy rain. This will probably be the last of our 80 degree weather for the year, but I just wish that we had sun and pleasant weather to go with it. This morning is mostly cloudy with a few peeks of the sun, and there is a heavy dew. My flowers are pretty much done for the year except my dahlias. They seem to like…
A Very Wet Drive Home Sunday From Northern Michigan
We decided to pack up and return home one day early because of the weather. Rain was forecasted for most of Sunday and Monday morning, so we got on the road just as it started. It rained all the way home. Saturday began a bit wet but by afternoon, it was clear and sunny. The wind was a bit brisk however, and it made for a chilly day. We took a drive up to Mackinaw City and couldn’t believe how…
A Total Washout In Northern Michigan For Our Friday
All it did yesterday was rain. We spent most of the day driving around and visiting relatives in Cheboygan, so it was a nice day in spite of the rain. Today should be dry but not much sun. Our campground is closing down little by little, and the seasonal people are showing up to pack up their RV’s and getting ready for storage or hauling them home. I’m expecting this weekend to be a bit busy since the campground officially…
More Overnight Rain In Northern Michigan
We have been very lucky so far with rain. It has happened overnight and our days have been nice. Yesterday was much nicer than what was predicted and highs even made it into the low 70s. Today is expected to be dry but chilly. My kids are coming up so I was hoping that it would be nice tonight for a fire. There were some storms that formed just to our north last night but we didn’t get much rain…
First Day In Northern Michigan Was A Beauty.
I’m wishing that this entire week could be like yesterday but I know that It won’t be. After the morning fog cleared away, yesterday was gorgeous. Highs reached the mid 70s and skies were clear all day. We did get a little rain overnight but now that seems to be over. There are some showers showing on radar but they appear to be well to our south. My kids will be coming up tomorrow and will stay through the weekend. …
