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…
Our morning is beginning with light breezes and clear skies, but our forecast is calling for yet another cold front moving in and giving us clouds and more wind. What an October this has been. We can only hope that November is better but I’m not really expecting it. Yesterday was really nice with clear skies all day, light breezes and a high near 60°F. That’s the way October in Michigan should be. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 44°F (7°C),…
Today will be one of the warmest days that we’ll have this week with highs expected in the mid 50s. Then another cold front will descend on us from Canada and highs will only reach the 40s. This entire month has been cold, more like November than October, but at least the rain seems to be over for awhile. Maybe I can get some yard work done today, and we should start getting our outdoor furniture put away for the…
Yesterday was one of those days where we had all of our seasons mixed into one. We began the day with sun, then the clouds rolled in, and soon it started to rain. At first it was just a shower, then it intensified and strong winds knocked our power out. One gust had to be about 50 mph. The Michigan-Michigan State game was delayed for over an hour because of the storm. Then we had a short time with no…
This Saturday morning is beautiful with clear skies and fairly mild temperatures. Unfortunately, the forecast for later today isn’t as nice. That “S” word is even in the forecast but no real accumulations are expected. Temps are expected to drop the remainder of the day so our present temp is probably our high. I took my doggies out so about half an hour but with the chilly wind, they didn’t want to stay out that long. Our 11 AM temperature…
