Here it is, the last day of July, and it seems like summer has just begun. It’s hard to believe that some schools will be starting in a few weeks and we will start seeing the trees start to show color. I’m not ready for it to end yet since it seems like summer just began. The end to our stay here in Topinabee is about over and it is going much too fast also. The weather has been exceptional…
This vacation is going by fast. I can’t believe that it is half over already. My daughter and oldest son are both here, and we went out last night to a popular pizza place in Indian River to celebrate my husband’s birthday. My sister and bother-in-law met us there and we had a great time in spite of the fact that we had to wait over an hour to get a table. Today is starting out with plenty of sun…
It’s looks like it will be another beautiful day with plenty of sun and comfortable temps. It looks like this area will get a break from the persistent stormy weather that they have had recently, and it couldn’t have come at the better time for us. Our campground is quite full and there is a lot of activity which I like. My plan is to ride the rail trail today. My daughter will be up later and pizza is on…
Our week here is starting out with perfect weather, and it expected to remain so all this week. We are so lucky. My son came up yesterday, and my daughter will be joining us tomorrow. It’s been a long time since we have all been here together. Our morning is starting out with some cloud cover but that should clear up later on. Our 9 AM temp is 65°F, the humidity is 78% and the dew point is 58°F. Winds…
After a very wet Wednesday, today is starting out with bright sunshine and comfortable temps. Our drive up was dry until we got near Gaylord where we ran into a real gully washer. It continued to rain the remaining trip but diminished to sprinkles by the time we reached the campground. We were lucky that we didn’t have to set up in the pouring rain. Today should be a winner and nice weather is expected to continue for the next…
We will be heading to northern Michigan is just a few hours. Unfortunately, it appears that we’ll be setting up camp in the rain. I’m hoping for some breaks but the radar isn’t looking too promising at this time. Here at home, we have mostly cloudy skies and no rain so far. Temps will be on the rise this week once again but the forecast for Topinabee-Indian River is showing highs mainly in the 70s. That’s perfect for me. After…
Today isn’t expected to be as cool as yesterday but it should still be quite pleasant. The humidity has decreased considerably and that makes a lot of difference. I noticed that the mosquitoes have been more plentiful over the past few days. Up until now, they haven’t been that bad which is surprising with all the rain that we’ve had. Tomorrow we head up north until the third of August. They have been having strong storms there quite regularly and…
It is a cooler morning than what we have had and it really feels great. We did get a little rain yesterday, 0.12 inches. There are showers and thunderstorms in our forecast for this afternoon, then we could see some clearing. Winds will turn to the north and bring some relief from these stifling temperatures. I’m going to try to get out for a bike ride this afternoon, but will have to see what happens with the rain. The Midwest…
This morning is very muggy and warm. Showers and thunderstorms moved across the state overnight but we received very little rain. There was just a trace in my gauge this morning at 8:30, but another shower is passing as I write this. I can’t say that we really need the rain although the ground does dry out quickly with the heat. Our highs have been in the upper 80s the past 3 days, and with the high dew points and…
Our skies have been mostly cloudy today although we have a little sun right now. Temps are slightly cooler than yesterday and rain seemed to be a possibility this morning, but it all missed us. Once again, it is just too hot to do anything outdoors and even just sitting out there is uncomfortable. The dew point is quite high and that affects the feel of things more than the humidity. At least I think so. Our 4 PM temperature…
