We have been getting a few flakes of snow intermittently throughout the morning but most on the ground is gone. It’s a grey, dark day with temperatures barely above freezing. There’s enough wind to drop the “feels like” temps to uncomfortable levels, so not a nice day to be outdoors. I have a Christmas Dinner at the hospital this afternoon which I’m attending with a friend that I worked with years ago The hospital always invites retirees which is nice….
We received about an inch of snow yesterday morning, but by afternoon, it was almost gone. We have an additional quarter of an inch this morning and everything is white again. Temperatures have barely made it above freezing and this is expected to continue most of this week. There are no significant weather systems in our immediate future, so this week should be rather quiet weather-wise. Our 9 AM temperature is 28°F (-2°C), the humidity is 88%, and skies are…
Our Thanksgiving Day was nice although the weather was chilly and cloudy. I guess that would be normal for the end of November here in Michigan. The kids were all home and everyone was stuffed. This weekend, we’re expecting a mix of rain and possible freezing rain tonight through early tomorrow. We are sort of on the boundary for the mix, and northern Michigan is expecting much worse. I just hope that the forecast doesn’t change. Our 11:15 AM temperature…
After having winds up to 60 mph in many areas yesterday, many in Mid Michigan are without power today. Thankfully, we aren’t one of them. There was plenty of damage in the Saginaw-Bay City area but Shiawassee County seemed to be spared from the worst of it. After highs in the 50s yesterday, we won’t even make it to 40° today but at least the winds have subsided. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 33°F (1°C), the humidity is 76%, and…
After heavy overnight rain, our skies are clearing and the sun is out. There was 0.86″ in my rain gauge this morning, and we did hear a few rumbles of thunder last night. A winter storm warning is in effect for the upper peninsula, and up to 3 feet of snow is expected in the western and central areas. Travelers are being warned to wait until Thursday to do any necessary driving. The lower peninsula is expecting mostly rain but…
This morning feels like a day in March, but unfortunately, it isn’t going to last. We have a rather potent storm system moving our way for Wednesday. Although we aren’t expecting any snow, winds will be the issue. I’m hoping that we don’t lose power with the holiday on Thursday. That’s all we’d need. The upper peninsula of Michigan is under a winter storm warning as well as lakeshore flood warnings. Northern lower is under a winter weather advisory for…
This morning is bright with average temperatures. We can’t really expect much better for the end of November here in Michigan. There is an impending winter storm that is heading our way for Tuesday, but it’s looking like it will be all rain for our area. After last week’s storm, we don’t need anymore snow for a while. Yesterday wasn’t as sunny as we hoped but it still wasn’t a bad day. At least we didn’t have strong winds which…
It’s as if Mother Nature is trying to make up for what she did to us last week. The forecast for this weekend is lovely and temperatures will be right around normal. The rains yesterday took care of the remainder of our snow, and it’s now just a bad memory. My burning bushes were just starting to turn red and the snow destroyed the few leaves that were turning. Oh well, it could be worse. Long term forecasts are not…
Although temperatures today will be above average, it will be wet with rain expected most of the day. There is just a hint of snow cover left , mainly where the snow piles were, and our weather seems to be back to normal for November. There aren’t any big weather systems expected to hit us anytime soon, so that’s always a good thing. In fact, local meteorologists are saying that the remainder of November and most of December should be…
Although we have mild temperatures, visibility is down to less than a mile We are expecting a period of near normal temps over the next week, and that’s a relief from what we have had. Yesterday warmed up to near 50° for most areas and there was quite a bit of sun. It was a very pleasant day. All of our snow is gone except for where the snow piles are and they continue to melt away. There are still…
