Now that Hurricane Irma is pretty much history, her remnants are heading for us although it won’t have much affect on our weather. We do have rain in the forecast for today but is isn’t expected to amount to much. All of the people that I know in Florida seemed to survive Irma without too much damage and I’m happy for that. I still haven’t heard anything from a cousin in Ft. Myers yet but all that live close to…
Now that Irma has become a tropical storm and no longer a threat to Florida, we can relax a bit,. All the people that I know are okay and not too much damage. That’s amazing consider the strength of this storm. Most of the folks I know live near and around the Tampa – Orlando areas and they were spared from a storm surge which was their biggest fear. Prayers do work! As for us, we will see a warmup…
It’s hard to think about anything else these days with friends and relatives facing this horrible hurricane in Florida. I know so many people there, many snowbirds and others who live there year round. Thankfully, the snowbirds are still here and wondering if they’ll have anything to go back to there. I have a niece and nephew in Tampa that wouldn’t leave, and the family is greatly concerned for their safety. Here in Michigan, our cool weather continues with lows…
Today, although still on the chilly side, is a big improvement from the past two days. At least our high should be in the upper 60s, and with the sun, that will feel comfortable. We received about half an inch of badly needed rain over the past few days, something that we really needed. At least with the cool temps, the ground won’t dry out so fast. Today is just a nice autumn day, even though it really isn’t autumn…
This is yet another morning where we needed the furnace. It’s a bit early for that but that’s the way this late summer has been. I don’t ever remember it ever being this cold in early September for this many days. I’m just afraid that we will have an early frost that will kill off the garden. It has just started to produce. There is yet another hurricane threatening the U.S. and this one is a monster. I have many…
Temperatures this morning were in the 40s when I left for work, and they are still much below where they should be for this date. It looks and feels like a day in late September or even early October except there is no color. This has been a very strange summer, and I hope that it isn’t a prelude to what will happen once winter actually gets here. Predictions for this area are for a normal winter, and that means…
Our Labor Day will be seasonable with highs near 80°F and afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible. Our weekend was beautiful and the kids and I enjoyed a lovely campfire the past two nights. Last night was gorgeous with clear skies and a nearly full moon. But the kids have to go back home today and life will return to normal. I’m so hoping for a beautiful autumn season. Our 9:30 AM temp is 67°F (19°C), the humidity is 52% and…
This Sunday Morning is starting out with clouds although we should see some clearing later in the day. This will be one of the few seasonably warm days that we see this upcoming week. We received 0.05″ of rain overnight. My kids are all home so we had a campfire last night and got rained on a little bit, but for the most part, it was a good evening. Our 9:15 AM is 58°F (14°C), the humidity is 73%, and…
Our last summer holiday weekend should be great for traveling with plenty of sun expected and decent temperatures. But Monday will bring another cold front and rain. This is very chilly for late August and early September in Michigan with overnight lows dipping into the upper 30s in northern Michigan. Highs in the mid to upper 60s is all we can expect for this upcoming week. I don’t mind the cool temps but it is just too early for them….
I see that we have lost most of our bloggers for whatever reasons, and that makes me sad. I feel bad that WeatherQuack isn’t working out for those of us who tried to give it a go, and I thank Nathan Parker for all the effort that he put into it. I will continue to post here as long as this site is available, and I hope that those of us who have become friends through Weatherbug will find another…
