We had snow most of Sunday and even Christmas Day. Between the two days, we have about 4 inches of snow cover. Today is sunny but it does nothing to make going outdoors more bearable. It was -6°F when I got up this morning and the expected high was on 8°F. My thermometer is reading a bit higher than that now, and it doesn’t appear to be in the sun. Regardless, it is bitter cold out there and we don’t…
We got our white Christmas after all. It snowed almost all day yesterday, and I think most of the night. We had a little over two inches early this morning, and we have received about another inch or two since then. Driving to church this morning was slow going. Now we are seeing some breaks in the clouds and radar is showing that we are in the clear for a while at least. There were even a few peeks of…
Our Christmas Eve day is starting out with very cold temps and a little snow. We haven’t received any accumulations yet, but we could get up to three inches by tomorrow. So at this time, it looks like we could get our white Christmas after all. It has just now started snowing and radar is showing that it won’t stop anytime soon. Our temperatures, however, will only make it in the low to mid 20s. Our 1:30 AM temperatuer is…
We continue to have an average of an inch of snow cover in the areas where snow remains. About half of the ground is bare however. There is still the chance that we could get more tomorrow or Christmas day, but just a chance. Regardless, there is another polar vortex heading our way and highs will only reach the teens in a few days. The pendulum effect seems to continue as the year reaches it’s end. I have heard various…
We have just a light covering of snow this morning. Most of the old snow has melted away. All that remains is where the snow banks were and shaded areas. There is the chance of freezing drizzle early today but we have nothing happening at this time. Northern Michigan is getting quite a bit as most of this system will remain to our north. Not much precip is expected in our area today. Yesterday was the official first day of…
Today is beginning with cloudy skies and cooler temps. It looks like our warm weather is finished for now, and another polar vortex is on the way. There is also more snow in our forecast with a good chance of a white Christmas after all. The only snow that is left now is where the snow banks were, and a few spotty areas that were in the shade. Other than that, our last snow is history. The days following Christmas…
This morning is sunny and mild. We received no precip yesterday and the thaw continued , so most of our snow is gone. All we have left is where the snow banks were. We do, however, have a chance for more snow before Christmas and our local meteorologist said that computer models are showing that it could be substantial. He also cautioned that it is still much to early to make a definite prediction. On the positive side, all of…
Wouldn’t you know that after receiving 8 inches of snow, most would melt right before Christmas. That’s our luck. These very warm temps are expected to last up to the weekend, then there really isn’t much snow mentioned in our forecast for Christmas. Maybe Mother Nature will surprise us with a freak snowstorm. Temperatures were warmer than what was predicted. My thermometer read 40° for a very short time, and temps didn’t fall much through the overnight. We were supposed…
Yesterday, I said that a white Christmas was a certainty for us but now I’m not so sure. Temperatures were on the rise all night and we lost about 3 inches of snow. I haven’t been able to get my car out of the driveway since the snowstorm, so this may be the turning point. Above normal temperatures are expected to continue this entire week so we could lose most of our snow. Rain is in the forecast instead of…
We should start seeing our temperatures moderate a bit this week. We may see highs in the upper 30s to low 40s by mid week. Although it won’t be warm enough to melt much of our snow, at least it should clear bare surfaces as well as the roads. A white Christmas is a certainty and that makes me happy. We have 8 inches of snow cover this morning, and the extended forecast is not calling for more snow anytime…
