We have snow in our forecast once again, and what we got three days ago is still there. At least it is much warmer today, but not enough for anything to melt. Our area is expecting at least two inches tonight and tomorrow. Lake effect will be coming off of Lake Huron for a change, so the east side and thumb areas of the state will be most impacted. I’m sure that makes the folks near Lake Michigan happy. I…
Our forecast is calling for a little sun today, but haven’t seen any yet. Temperatures remain much below where they should be and I’m really tired of it. We still have about 2 to 2.5 inches of snow cover and I’m hoping for a day that’s warm enough to melt the ice on my deck. My dog hopes so too. Her little feet get so cold going out for just a few minutes. Looking ahead at the forecast, it doesn’t…
Once again, our temperatures will do well to make it into the mid teens. Add the wind chill, and it feels below zero. This is another day that I’m thankful that I don’t have to go anywhere. Temperatures should rise to above average in another week or so, and I can hardly wait. Give me a foot of snow and temps in the 40’s and I’d be much happier. We are under a wind chill advisory from 7 PM tonight…
It was 1 degree when I got up this morning, and it hasn’t warmed up significantly since then. The sun is trying to peek out but a thin cloud cover remains. At least we don’t have the strong winds today so it is a bit more bearable. I hate the cold more than the snow, and the south isn’t being spared either. This mass of arctic air can’t move on soon enough to suit me. Our 3 PM temperature is…
Today is the coldest that we’ve had this year, and there is no relief coming anytime soon. We could see temps falling below zero for the first time in two years. Our winter weather advisory has been changed to a wind chill advisory through tomorrow. The sun is shining through a thin cloud layer but doing nothing to warm it up. The roads are a mess and law enforcement is advising everyone who doesn’t have to be out, to stay…
This winter storm has been a bit of a bust for us. We only got a couple inches of snow compared to other areas. There is a crust of ice on top of the snow, so it was difficult to measure this morning. The winter storm advisory ends at 1 PM so I think that most of it is over. Winds are supposed to pick up with gusts as high as 40 mph, but hasn’t happened so far. Yesterday afternoon,…
We are under a winter weather advisory rather than a warning, so it appears that we may not be affected as badly as originally thought. That’s fine with me. It sounds like the biggest issue will be the strong winds. Gusts as high as 40 mph are possible and that could cause blizzard conditions. Driving will be challenging no matter how much snow we get. To make things worse, high temps early next week will be doing well to reach…
We woke this morning to about 1.5″ of new snow, so now there is almost 3″ on the ground. It was heavy and wet, so it stuck to everything. It is just warm enough that some has melted and my boys were out cleaning off the deck in preparation for “the big one”. At this time, I’m not seeing anything on radar that looks particularly menacing, but it could all change by tomorrow. The worst is supposed to happen late…
Yesterday was fairly mild with drizzle, then it changed to snow later, and became a moderate snow shower by midnight. Everything was covered with heavy, wet snow this morning, which is sticking to all the bushes and trees. It is also quite windy, so not a comfortable day to be out and about. I’m glad that we cancelled our trip to Detroit today since I’m hearing that the roads were pretty bad. Our snow cover is about 1.5″ and there…
Today is finally acting like January. We seem to be right on the line between rain and snow, and snow has been gently falling all morning. There is just a light covering on the grass and that will probably be gone by this afternoon. It’s supposed to get quite windy later, but winds have been pretty quiet so far. Also the temperature is expected to rise near 40°F, and the precip should be all rain. There is no sign of…
