Our morning started out quiet but now the wind is really howling. My weather station is showing winds from 23-30 mph, but I know we are having gust stronger than that. In fact, it blew my lawn swing over and I’ve never had that happen before. So far, there have been no interruption in our power, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened before the day’s end. We had overnight rain and I’m seeing a few lightning strikes on…
We are currently under a high wind watch beginning at 8AM tomorrow morning, until 8PM tomorrow evening. You would never know it to be outdoors today. Winds are light and we have clearing skies. A local meteorologist said that this is close to being a “bomb cyclone” but not quite. I guess that tells us that it’s going to be pretty windy. My husband tested the generator to be sure it’s working if we need it. So I guess we’re…
We woke to a white world this morning with about 1.5″ of new snow. Highs today are expected to reach near the freezing mark, so I’m not expecting it to last long. Also, we have a period of very warm weather coming next week with highs some days near 60°F. But before that happens, our local meteorologist is predicting a storm on Saturday that comes close to being a “bomb cyclone”. https://www.mlive.com/weather/2021/12/storm-just-2-ticks-from-bomb-cyclone-over-michigan.html?fbclid=IwAR150QwnlZU9MK1u4v2pItrLFcNvvx7s2f6yfAgPFWvABSvgoYAPejP5lpI. That certainly doesn’t sound good for our state. …
Today is not a nice one for having to be out and about. We have very strong winds out of the west which makes it feel much colder than it is. We had a mix of rain, snow, and sleet yesterday which turned into all rain by late afternoon. There was only 0.12″ in my rain gauge this morning so we didn’t get nearly as much precip as most of the state did. The UP was under a winter storm…
Today is quite pleasant although the wind is brisk and is chilly when it hits you. At least we have a little sun shining through a thin veil of clouds. There are predictions of a major snow event for the northern portions of our state tomorrow, but we are expected to just get mostly rain. Some areas of our UP could get up to a foot of new snow. Folks up there are heavy into winter sports, so I’m sure…
After having 5 inches of snow cover just a few days ago, we are now totally snow less. Our high today did reach 50°F very briefly, and temperatures are now dropping. We have some very cold weather on the way but I guess we have to expect that. Winds are quite brisk today, making it feel colder than what it is. There was a little sun this morning, but now skies are overcast. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 46°F (8°C),…
Another winter weather advisory was posted yesterday afternoon and we received an additional 3 inches of new snow. Some of what we received Saturday melted but we are still left with 5 inches on the ground. About an hour ago, there was some ground fog forming but it didn’t last long. It was gone as quickly as it developed. Temperatures are supposed to warm up over the next few days, so I expect that this snow won’t last too long….
Yesterday, we were under a winter weather advisory which was to start at 3 PM. Mother Nature couldn’t wait, and light to moderate snow began to fall at around 10 AM. It didn’t stop until well after dark and there were many accidents on roads which became icy very quickly. My kids, who were here for the holiday weekend, had to go home to Detroit yesterday, and they said that cars were wiping out on the expressways which were a…
A winter weather advisory was issued early this morning from 3 pm until midnight. But the snow began around 10 am and has continued since then. My daughter and I had to go out, and coming home, the roads were really getting slick. My son and daughter had to go back home today, to the Detroit area. My son called a while ago saying that vehicles were wiping out on the freeway. I thought that the road crews would be…
Our day began with plenty of sun and milder temps than what we have had recently. Now we have had a few sprinkles and skies have become overcast. Our car temperature showed a high of 53°F when we were out and about, but now temperatures have begun to fall. Scattered light showers are showing on radar although nothing near us at this time. Rain is expected to move in later today, and continue throughout the night. Thanksgiving Day isn’t expected…
