Looks like it’s going to be another grey day here in Topinabee. It rained off and on most of the night. The rain has stopped for now but I don’t think that we will see much improvement later on. This is our final day here for the season and I was really hoping for nicer weather At least the weather seems dryer at home. I have to say that our week up her has been a bit of a bust,…
Since we arrived here last Friday, it has rained almost everyday. It hasn’t been all day rains, just enough to keep the sand wet so that we are constantly tracking it into our trailer. The weather has been warm until now. With this latest cold front, we now will have temps struggling into the 50s for our highs. Today’s high should reach the mid 60s, but after today, it will be much cooler. I know that we can’t expect perfect…
Yesterday was a lovely day here in Topinabee, but heavy rain moved in shortly after 7 pm putting a damper on our evening campfire. I don’t have a rain gauge up here but I know that we must have gotten about half an inch. Little by little, our fellow campers are leaving each day and it is pretty quiet around here. My in-laws, who own the cabins on Lake Huron, will be leaving for Florida next week and it is…
We had a rather heavy rain storm overnight but it didn’t last long, just hard enough to get our wood wet. We should see temps in the low 70s this afternoon before the cold front moves in; bringing possible severe weather to lower Michigan. Thankfully, that doesn’t include where we are now. Our skies are partly cloudy right now and it feels quite mild outdoors, even though it is only is the 60s. It should remain this way most of…
Our trip up here yesterday was a combination of warm, wet, and windy. In fact, winds reached near 60 mph at times and half of Cheboygan was without power last night. Thankfully, we weren’t but there is at least one fallen tree here in the campground. I could hear chain saws first thing this morning Temperatures were warm until about 2 PM when the cold front finally moved through. My son hasn’t reported any damage at home so that’s a…
We were supposed to head up north this morning, but heavy to moderate rain has cause us to put it off for tomorrow. We have already received 0.28″ inches overnight, and another 0.11″ since I emptied my gauge at 9 AM. We just have light sprinkles right now but radar is showing a lot more on the way. Our 10:30 AM temp is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 99% and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the southeast at 9…
This will be our final trip to camp for the season and as usual, I hate to see it end. Tomorrow has rain in the forecast for both here at home and Indian River. I hope that it isn’t raining when we get there. It’s a pain setting up i the rain. At least most of the week ahead looks nice although temps will be on the cool side. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 65°F (18°C), the humidity is 75%…
This is like our sixth in a row. Our highs have been in the low to mid 80s and that makes for very uncomfortable days. I’m really ready for it to cool off. Next week should see more seasonable weather but with that comes rain. We’re taking our last trip up north for the year and I’m really hoping for nice weather. Our 8:45 AM temperature is 66°F (19°C), The humidity is 99% and skies are mostly clear. The pressure…
We did have a little fog early but it dissipated quickly when the sun came up. I’m afraid that our warm days are coming to an end as the forecast for next week doesn’t seem that promising. We know that it can’t last since we are well into September and the official start of autumn is next week. I can’t believe how fast this summer went by. Our 9:30 AM temp is 65°F (18°C), the humidity is 100%, and the…
This is getting to be a habit. Once again our visibility early this morning was near zero miles in some places. I’m glad that I didn’t have to go anywhere early. Our skies now have cleared and temps are warming up to a comfortable level. I just wish that there was a stronger breeze so that we wouldn’t need the AC. At any rate, it’s turning into a lovely day. I’ve been watching the hurricane coverage on TV and the…
