We had rain most of the night and into this morning. It seems to have stopped for now. Radar is showing that there is a line of rain and we seem to be right on the edge of it. I think that means that today shouldn’t be a total washout for us. This is expected to continue into tomorrow but Easter Sunday is looking good. Our 10 AM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 90% and skies are overcast. …
Yesterday was supposed to be a near washout according to our forecast, but it was anything but. We even saw a little sun in the afternoon after a few sprinkles. It was really a pleasant surprise. Temperatures were at the normal level and winds were fairly light. Rain finally moved in this morning but it didn’t last long. It left 0.05″ in my gauge, and I’m pretty sure that it isn’t finished yet. Radar is showing a large area of…
Sunday was a miserable day weather-wise. That seemed to be the case for the entire eastern United States. We had a mixed bag of winter precipitation, switching from snow to sleet to rain all day long. Finally it turned to all snow overnight. We had half an inch of snow cover this morning and a total of 0.64″ of water in my rain gauge. 0.14″ of that was melted snow. The southern and eastern states were plagued with strong tornadoes…
Yesterday was beautiful except for a very brisk wind. At least we had normal temperatures and plenty of sun. Today will be a different story. It just started snowing when I got up at 8 AM, then it changed to rain. Now it keeps changing between rain and sleet. Our forecast is saying that we could possibly get up to 3 inches of snow by the time it’s done. Tomorrow the highs will be back in the 50s so it…
We had rain into yesterday morning, then it cleared by afternoon and there was plenty of sun. Unfortunately, I can’t say that it was a nice day because the winds made it very unpleasant to be outdoors. Temperatures were quite warm but the wind made it seem much colder than what it actually was. We received just under quarter of an inch of rain total, and our grass has suddenly become very green from it. Snow is in our forecast…
Temperatures remained constant through the night and highs today will be quite warm. This is in advance of another cold front which will affect our weekend. In fact, the upcoming week doesn’t look too good. The biggest issue will be the winds over the next few days. At least we aren’t getting the blizzard conditions that our neighbors to the west are getting. The two inches of snow that we received yesterday didn’t last long, and most had melted by…
Yup, we woke up to a white world once again. Most of it was supposed to be rain but that didn’t happen. It began about midnight and I’m not sure when it ended, but there was two inches to shovel off the deck this morning. The pups weren’t too happy about it either. They thought that spring was here. Didn’t we all? What’s worse it that the weekend it expected to be stormy with strong winds expected . . ….
We have to let go of the fine, spring weather that we have had over the past several days, and get ready for some rain / snow/ sleet / freezing rain which will begin tonight. This is expected to continue into the weekend and we won’t see anything near 70°F for awhile. That really isn’t unusual for early April in Michigan, and it’s still better than what last April was like. At least, even if there is measurable snow this…
Yesterday was a real treat for us with a high of 71°F in the afternoon. Today isn’t quite as nice but still warmer than normal. We have a brisk west wind which is a bit uncomfortable but still a nice day compared to what it could be. Once again, we have snow in our forecast although we shouldn’t get that much here. Plus, whatever we get isn’t going to last that long. That’s supposed to happen later this week. Our…
This weekend should be a real winner for us in the mitten state. Highs should reach well into the 60s and little if no rain is expected. I think it’s time to start getting some screens on the windows or getting my flower beds cleaned out. Maybe I’ll do a little of each. Our 9 AM temp is 45°F (7°C), the humidity is 99% and we had dense fog earlier but most has burned off now. Winds are calm and…
