I had to go out early this morning and to say that it is bitter cold is an understatement. Highs today will only reach the teens and this will continue into next week. In fact, there is no real warmup expected until at least early February. We had some light snow showers this morning, mainly lake effect. The sun came out between them and there are some breaks in the cloud cover right now. Radar is showing lake effect snow…
Yesterday felt like a spring day with rain most of the day. It began as freezing rain which didn’t last long, then rain and warm temperatures melted whatever snow and ice that we had. We can expect another round of light snow with very little accumulation today and tonight,. More of an issue will be the temperatures. Highs will only reach the teens and lows below zero to single digits for the remainder of January Our 9:30 AM temperature is…
My son, who lives in the Detroit area, reported very icy, slippery conditions when he had to leave for work early this morning. I’m not sure what it was like here because my deck was only wet and the snow was very slushy when I got up at 8 AM. I know that we had freezing drizzle for a while but I’m not sure how long it lasted. Today will be the only relief we get from the frigid weather. …
It was -14°F when I got up this morning on my thermometer. Lansing was reporting -18 as were some other cities. This is the coldest morning that I can remember in quite a while. My son had to have surgery on his eye, and when we got to the hospital, the entire front was flooded because of a broken water pipe. The lobby, patient registration, and the lab were all closed because of water. Part of the ceiling in registration…
When I got up at shortly after 8 this morning, my thermometer read -4°F. That’s the coldest that we have seen in quite awhile. We had light to moderate snow showers early Saturday that left us with an additional 1.5 inches of new snow. We now have about 3 inches of snow cover. Today is very sunny but it won’t do much to warm things up. In fact, the high is only expected to reach the single digits. There is…
There was 1.5 inches of snow cover when I got us this morning and I think it has increased to 2 by now. It continues to come down and radar is showing that it won’t be ending anytime soon. There is nothing like a fresh snowfall to brighten up a dull, dreary, winter day. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 19°F (-7°C), the humidity is 85%, and winds are from the NE at 9 mph, gusting to 18 mph. The wind…
We received just enough snow to turn the ground white, about quarter of an inch. It does seem brighter out his morning even with the clouds. Our forecast is calling for a little sun later and that will probably melt most of the snow. There is another system heading our way for the weekend although local weather gurus can’t seem to agree on how much we are expecting. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Our 9:15 AM…
We were under a freezing rain advisory Tuesday although freezing mist was what we got. It began late in the morning and continued most of the day. Many of the schools are closed today and areas just to our north received more rain than we did. There wasn’t even enough in the gauge to measure. The advisory expires at 10 AM and we should see some sun later today. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 26.8°F (-3°C), the humidity is 77%…
This morning began with plenty of sun and temperatures in the low teens. We now have a little cloud cover and temperatures have moderated a bit. We don’t expect to see the 40s anytime soon but at least we don’t have slippery roads to deal with either. I’m not complaining. Our noon temperature is 31°F (-1°C),, the humidity is 68%, and skies are partly to mostly cloudy. Winds are from the west at 8 mph, gusting to 16 mph. The…
Winter Storm Gia is moving eastward and will be affecting the nation’s capitol today. The southwest portions of our state received up to 3 inches in various places but nothing here in Mid-Michigan. The forecast for today doesn’t sound too bad although highs will only reach around 30°F. It should become partly sunny by afternoon but winds will still be a factor and will make our day very chilly to be outdoors. Our 9 AM temperature is 19°F (-7°C), the…
