We could see a couple inches of snowfall this weekend. Some areas of the U.P. already have 5-6 inches on the ground, and although we aren’t expecting that much here, our world could be very white Saturday and Sunday. What’s worse is that highs are not expected to rise out of the 30s anytime soon. This is much too early for this type of weather. NOAA gave us a long term forecast of a milder winter, but it sure isn’t…
Everyone going out to vote today will be battling rain and wind. It will not be a nice day at all. What’s even worse is that temps will continue to fall all week with highs by week’s end only in the 30s. I’m still waiting for Indian Summer, and am losing hope that it’s going to happen this year. Autumn is usually my favorite season and I feel like we got totally finagled this year. It all began the last…
Yesterday was my birthday, and I spent most of it in the hospital , and I wasn’t even working. I went in early yesterday morning with chest pain, and my husband went in later with severe vertigo (dizziness). But no serious issues were found so all is well. As for the weather, yesterday wasn’t too bad and we had quite a bit of sun. It could have been warmer but it was’t bad at all. AT LEAST IT DIDN’T RAIN. …
This past October has been one of the wettest that I can remember. There were very few days that we didn’t get some rain and even fewer where we saw the sun. I am hoping that November will be better but it certainly is not starting out that way. Out of the next 6 days, rain is in the forecast 3 days, and only 1 sunny day which is tomorrow. Even that remains to be seen. Daylight savings time ends…
The kids lucked out last night with a very nice Halloween night. What began as a rainy, dark day turned into a very nice evening. Highs were in the 50s and the skies cleared up just in time for the trick or treaters. I don’t know how many kids still go from door to door looking for treats. I’m told by many people that there aren’t near as many as there used to be. I think that more are going…
More rain is in our forecast for today so we aren’t expecting much, if any, sun. Radar is showing a large area of rain moving across the state although it doesn’t appear to be too heavy. Yesterday had intermittent drizzle most of the day and there was 0.07″ in my gauge this morning. Today will probably be more of the same with highs only in the mid 40s. Our 9:30 AM temp is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 88% and…
This is not a pretty morning and it is expected to be this way all weekend. There was 0.02 in of rain in my gauge at 8 AM, and light rain will continue most of our Saturday and into Sunday. At least there aren’t any strong winds in the forecast. October is coming to an end and it has seemed more like November. Next weekend we will be falling back to Eastern Standard time and I’m happy about that. I…
We are back to cloudy skies for the next few days, but the sun sure was nice Wednesday and Thursday. Actually, yesterday turned out to be mostly cloudy but there was hardly any wind and highs were in the low 50s so it was pleasant. We aren’t expecting any rain until tonight but there are some showers showing on the radar, do they may come early. Regardless, I have to work today so it really doesn’t matter. Our 8:45 AM…
We have a sunny morning but it isn’t expected to last. Clouds will move in this afternoon but temperatures should reach the low 50s with light winds. That sounds like a pretty nice day to me. We are expecting no precip until the weekend but they aren’t saying whether it will be rain or snow. We are in the process of getting a new truck with 4-wheel drive. I love our Fusion but it is terrible in snow. Our new…
Most of my flowers are dead but the mums and snapdragons are still hanging on. It’s time to start cleaning out the gardens and get ready for winter. It seems to be coming early this year since we have had below-normal temperatures most of October. The colors haven’t been very bright either especially the reds. Everyone’s burning bushes are quite brilliant but mine are still mostly green. I’m hoping for more 60 degree weather before our first snow cover. Indian…
