Yesterday turned into a fairly nice day with clearing skies which resulted in a beautiful sunset. Highs reached the low 50s and the winds were light to moderate. This morning is our coldest yet this season with lows falling into the upper 20s in some places. It was 30°F on my thermometer at 8 AM. I guess it’s time to realize that this will be the norm from now on. At least, with us returning to standard time, the mornings…
Our mornings continue to get darker and I’ll be happy to be back on Eastern Standard time once again. I just wish that we would stay there. That will be happening next weekend. As for today, skies are overcast and I don’t think that we will see much sun. One good thing is that the winds aren’t expected to be strong. Our 8:45 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 78% and skies are overcast. Winds are from the…
Yesterday turned out to be a bright, beautiful day except for the wind. Regardless, we went for a ride to a cider mill in St John, and enjoyed the colors on the way. We aren’t quite at peak color yet but probably in the few more days. The high winds didn’t do too much damage to the leaves although some trees are totally bare already. Hopefully, we’ll enjoy a more quiet setting up until Halloween. Our 9:30 AM temperature is…
After a very nice weekend, our weather will become more seasonable beginning today. We should still see highs in the 60s, but then back to reality. This morning is cloudy but quiet. The overnight was quite mild with lows only falling into the 50s. Our 9 AM temperature is 52°F (11°C), the humidity is 83%, and skies are overcast. The pressure is 29.86 in and falling. Winds are from the east at 7 mph and visibility is 10 miles. The…
Our morning began with cloudy skies, but since then, it has cleared up nicely and with the tree color, it is gorgeous outdoors. The temperatures will be above normal today with highs expected in the upper 60s. We better enjoy it though because tomorrow , more rain is expected with very windy conditions over the next 2 days. I’m still waiting for a stretch of nice, calm weather to set up my Halloween decorations outdoors. I hope it happens. Our…
The forecast for this weekend is perfect for this time of year. Highs should reach into the 60s with just a slight chance of rain tonight. Otherwise, skies will be clear to partly cloudy. Winds won’t be too strong, and it will be perfect for any outdoor activities that anyone has in mind. It will be ideal for photographing our increasing color changes. Our 9:15 AM temperature is 42°F (5°C), the humidity is 93%, and winds are from the south…
We had another frost last night but the flowers that are left in my garden seem to be resident to it. I should go out and pick whatever tomatoes that are left if not frost damaged. Today will still be quite chilly, but at least the winds have diminished. This weekend is expected to be beautiful with highs in the 60s once again. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 93%, and skies are clear, and winds…
Yesterday was not a nice day. It began with drizzle and light sprinkles which left 0.05″ in my rain gauge. Then the wind picked up in the afternoon and 30 mph gusts were not uncommon. Although today will also be windy, it shouldn’t be quite as strong as yesterday. I want to hang my Halloween decor outdoors but not as long as it is this windy. Hopefully, it will calm down over the next few days. Our 8:45 AM temperature…
Yesterday was quite nice until storms started to brew over the state. We took a trip to a cider mill and bought some donuts and cider. Then we took them to the Holly Rec area where we ate some of them and just enjoyed being in the woods. At that point, the sun was in and out of the clouds although radar was showing mostly light showers forming all around us. There were more potent storms forming in the…
Everything was white early this morning and I’m assuming that my garden is really done for the year. my dahlias and mums still look pretty good but we’ll see how that goes. Mums are usually quite resistant to frost and I’m not sure about the dahlias. I should go check the tomatoes and bring in the ones that are starting to ripen. We continue to see a little more color everyday and northern Michigan is near, if not at it’s…
