I have to say that the weather service really blew it yesterday. Our forecast called for light snow with accumulations of less than an inch. We got three. I measured 8.75 inches on the ground this morning. Today could see more minor accumulations and there is even a chance for freezing drizzle. There is a significant warm up coming by mid week with temps near 40°F expected. That won’t be warm enough to melt much snow, but at least it…
It feels mild this morning compared to yesterday. Temps have been on the rise all night. Snow is falling at this time although we aren’t expecting much accumulation today. It’s just enough to make the roads slippery. This weather is more like January and I can’t help but wonder if the pattern will continue like we’ve had through the summer. If so, we’ll get our December weather in January. It’s crazy out there! Our 9:30 AM EST temperature is…
Yesterday brought moderate to heavy snow all day to Mid Michigan. We received 6.8 inches here of new snow leaving us with 8-9 inches of snow cover. There were many serious accidents closing I-69 from Durand east for a few hours. People were complaining that the roads were a glare of ice making driving very difficult. I was lucky that I didn’t have to go out. Needless to say, most schools are closed, and those that were open yesterday sent…
The snow began falling shortly before 8 AM this morning and has continued since. A winter storm warning is in effect until midnight with 5-8 inches expected. All of the snow enthusiasts are ecstatic. As for me, I love a good snow storm. It breaks up the monotony of winter and gives us a chance to get out and exercise a little. I’m not seeing any breaks in these cold temperatures anytime soon. A few days ago, Saturday was supposed…
Although my area only received about 1.5 – 2 inches of new snow, counties to our south received as much as 6 inches. Snow continues to be in the forecast but no significant accumulations are expected. It will be just enough to keep the roads slippery. For some reason, I didn’t see any salt trucks out yesterday, maybe because it was the weekend, so hopefully the roads will be better today. Our 9:30 AM EST temperature is 17.2°F (-8°C), the…
There is no letup in the below normal temps for us until the weekend. Our weather continues with roller coaster temperatures such as we have had most of the year. It is either much warmer or colder than normal. We received a few spits of snow yesterday but nothing measurable. That will change today. In fact, light snow has just begun and we could receive a few inches by tonight. At least there are no strong winds accompanying it. Our…
Saturday brought us light intermittent snow showers resulting in an inch of snow cover this morning. We could see a little more this afternoon but no significant amounts are expected. There is just enough to brighten things up a little. We don’t need anymore. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything to say in the matter. There is no warm up in the extended forecast, so it looks like this snow will be around for awhile. It’s amazing how people forget that…
Our morning seems nice and bright with the newly fallen snow. We only have 1/2 inch on the ground, but it does a lot for making the day seem brighter. I really do like snow this time of the year. With our hours of daylight at a minimum, anything that lightens up our world is welcome. We have light snow falling at this time and it is pretty. Our 9 AM temp is 24.6°F (-4°C), the humidity is 88%, and…
Although my area only received a trace of snow overnight, it was a different story for northern Michigan. With lake effect snow squalls moving over the state most of Wednesday, there was a range of different reports on CoCoRahs this morning in terms of snow amounts. Mancelona appeared to have the most with 12 inches on the ground. Gaylord, which is just to the east of Mancelona, was reporting only 6 inches. Traverse City reported 4.5 inches. In the UP,…
I am so tired of wind! We had gusts up to 50 mph yesterday and many areas lost power. The northern part of the state has been under a winter storm warning since yesterday and that will continue until 5 PM today. I’m not seeing many reports of huge snow amounts as yet on CoCoRahs. The most that I’m finding is 8 inches in Calumet up in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Northern lower Michigan is only reporting about an inch or…
