I thought that today was supposed to be cooler but it is still very warm and sticky. Showers and thunderstorms are popping up on radar and I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw some rain by day’s end. The current radar is showing many little cells starting to develop to our south west, and they are moving in our direction. The prediction is for our high tomorrow to only be in the 60s and for me, that will be a…
We had a few thundershowers pass just south of our location overnight getting everything wet. We didn’t expect it and it appeared at bedtime that most would stay to our south, but we got a surprise. It wasn’t very much rain, maybe about 1/10 of an inch, and the thunder was off in the distance. Our morning was humid and cloudy, but the sun was trying to make itself known by noon. This afternoon is mostly cloudy, and even though…
We have been very lucky so far with our weather, but rain is in the forecast for Thursday, the day we are leaving. I hate packing up in the rain and I hope that it holds off until we leave. Today will be nice although a little too warm for my liking. We will be heading for the inlaw’s cabins for dinner tonight and it’s always much cooler down by the lake. Our 10:15 AM temp is 76°F, the humidity…
Here it is, the last day of July, and it seems like summer has just begun. It’s hard to believe that some schools will be starting in a few weeks and we will start seeing the trees start to show color. I’m not ready for it to end yet since it seems like summer just began. The end to our stay here in Topinabee is about over and it is going much too fast also. The weather has been exceptional…
This vacation is going by fast. I can’t believe that it is half over already. My daughter and oldest son are both here, and we went out last night to a popular pizza place in Indian River to celebrate my husband’s birthday. My sister and bother-in-law met us there and we had a great time in spite of the fact that we had to wait over an hour to get a table. Today is starting out with plenty of sun…
It’s looks like it will be another beautiful day with plenty of sun and comfortable temps. It looks like this area will get a break from the persistent stormy weather that they have had recently, and it couldn’t have come at the better time for us. Our campground is quite full and there is a lot of activity which I like. My plan is to ride the rail trail today. My daughter will be up later and pizza is on…
Our week here is starting out with perfect weather, and it expected to remain so all this week. We are so lucky. My son came up yesterday, and my daughter will be joining us tomorrow. It’s been a long time since we have all been here together. Our morning is starting out with some cloud cover but that should clear up later on. Our 9 AM temp is 65°F, the humidity is 78% and the dew point is 58°F. Winds…
After a very wet Wednesday, today is starting out with bright sunshine and comfortable temps. Our drive up was dry until we got near Gaylord where we ran into a real gully washer. It continued to rain the remaining trip but diminished to sprinkles by the time we reached the campground. We were lucky that we didn’t have to set up in the pouring rain. Today should be a winner and nice weather is expected to continue for the next…
We will be heading to northern Michigan is just a few hours. Unfortunately, it appears that we’ll be setting up camp in the rain. I’m hoping for some breaks but the radar isn’t looking too promising at this time. Here at home, we have mostly cloudy skies and no rain so far. Temps will be on the rise this week once again but the forecast for Topinabee-Indian River is showing highs mainly in the 70s. That’s perfect for me. After…
Today isn’t expected to be as cool as yesterday but it should still be quite pleasant. The humidity has decreased considerably and that makes a lot of difference. I noticed that the mosquitoes have been more plentiful over the past few days. Up until now, they haven’t been that bad which is surprising with all the rain that we’ve had. Tomorrow we head up north until the third of August. They have been having strong storms there quite regularly and…
