We have cloudy skies, strong winds and a trace of mixed precipitation this morning. So far, most of this current winter storm has remained to our north and we have received very little in terms of snow/sleet/rain. Temperatures are expected to be on the rise for this afternoon when it will turn to all rain. The issue today will be the winds. Our 8:45 AM temperature is 33°F (1°C), the humidity is 80%, and winds are from the southeast at…
The past two days have been wonderful but reality will begin to set in later today and tomorrow. There is a winter “mess” coming soon bringing a little of everything . . . . rain, snow, and freezing rain. It’ll be a good day just to stay home. Right now (8:45 AM), our temperature is 31.1°F (-1°C), the humidity is 83% and skies are mostly cloudy. Winds are calm. The dew point is 28°F (-2°C) and the pressure is 30.20…
It really doesn’t get any better than this for a January day. Yesterday reached 50°F in many places and clear skies all day long. It was wonderful. Today is expected to bring much of the same although not quite as warm. I guess this could be considered our January thaw. Whatever it is, I love it! Our 9:15 AM temp is 31°F (-1°C), the humidity is 94% and we have frost and light fog. The pressure is 29.77 in (1008.1…
This is something that we haven’t had for a long time. Usually when it warms up, we get rain. This morning is sunny with temps right around the freezing mark. Highs should reach the mid 40s and that should melt the remaining ground cover that we have. We have been getting small amounts over the past few days ranging from a trace to one quarter inch, just enough to make the roads slippery. Wednesday, we had to go to Pontiac…
The new year came in wet and soggy here in southern Michigan. We had rain almost all day leaving 0.68″ in my rain gauge. The northern half of the lower peninsula received up to 9 inches of snow with some freezing rain mixed in. This morning is still very damp with overcast skies. Today won’t be the best of days with falling temps and a slight chance of snow showers in the forecast. Winds will also be quite brisk adding…
We received about half and inch of new snow overnight and highs yesterday never rose above freezing. Once again we have a white landscape to brighten our world. Yesterday was dry and we even saw a little sun early in the day. Today is supposed to be mostly sunny but there hasn’t been any sign of clearing as yet. I’m hoping that it happens soon to melt the snow off my deck. Our 9 AM temperature is 26.4°F (-3°F), the…
Yesterday was very spring-like with highs in the 50s. As the day went on, however, temperatures continued to drop and we received a trace of snow overnight. Highs today probably won’t even reach freezing. Yesterday was very windy with gust up t0 25 mph. Today should be more calm. Our 9 AM temp is 26°F (-3°F), the humidity is 77%, and winds are from the northwest at 7 mph. Skies are cloudy and the dew point is 21°F (-6°C). The…
It feels like a spring morning out there today with temperatures hovering around 50°F. Too bad that we don’t have some sunshine with it. I know that the dogs appreciate it. They weren’t in a big hurry to come in for a change. We know, of course, that this won’t last and highs will only be in the 30s next week. But hey! it’s winter after all. Our 8:45 AM temp is 49.5°F (10°C), the humidity is 86% and skies…
We had a trace of snow on the ground early Tuesday morning, but it increased to almost an inch by late afternoon. It was so pretty. This morning is cloudy but with no wind, it doesn’t feel bad out there at all. We are expected to see some sun later today so it shouldn’t be too bad of a day. Our 9 AM temp is 33.3F, the humidity is 93% and winds are from the NNE at 1 mph. Skies…
Although we only received half an inch, it looks very white out there. Our high today is expected to only rise to around freezing, so it may last until tomorrow. Local weather gurus are saying that there has to be at least an inch to be considered a “white Christmas” but regardless, it sure looks white to me. The latter part of this week is expected to warm up significantly with more rain expected. Our 9:45 AM temp is 29.8°F…
