The Sun Has Returned – Mid Michigan

The Sun Has Returned – Mid Michigan

To look outdoors today, no one would know that we had 3 inches a few days ago.  All of that snow is now gone and the sun is working on the partial ice cover that we still have from our past ice storm.  It isn’t quite warm enough to totally get rid of it, but it is melting little by little.  It’s actually quite nice outdoors although there is a bit of a breeze, making it feel chilly.  I’m not…

More Snow For Mid Michigan

More Snow For Mid Michigan

The snow began close to midnight and continued all night.  We woke to a white landscape this morning with about 3 inches of new snow.  It has been snowing since then but mainly just flurries.  A winter weather advisory is in effect until 4 PM.  Three to six inches of snow is what was predicted for my area and I don’t think that we’ll get much more than what we have right now.  It is warm enough that it has…

Another Snowy Weather System For Tomorrow – Mid Michigan

Another Snowy Weather System For Tomorrow – Mid Michigan

This is the third weekend where a snowy weather system is about to drop 3-6 inches of snow on us.  This is getting to be a habit, one that we are getting tired of.  We still have some ice patches that haven’t melted yet from the ice storm 4 weeks ago.  Ice melts much slower than snow, and it remains in areas that don’t get much sun.  Now tomorrow we’ll be shoveling again.  Since our January and February were so…

Another Sunny/Mild Day In Mid Michigan

Another Sunny/Mild Day In Mid Michigan

We still have a little snow on the ground, mainly where there were snowbanks and shade.  Temperatures will still be above freezing today so hopefully, it will all be gone before we get the next storm this weekend.  From what I’m hearing, we can expect about three to six inches on Friday, but it’s still too early to be set in stone.  Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend and I hate it.  Having to adjust to getting up an hour…

A Lovely Monday In Mid Michigan

A Lovely Monday In Mid Michigan

After a rainy / snowy Monday, our Tuesday is bright and sunny.  We did receive about 1.5″ of snow overnight, but most has already melted.  High temperatures will reach to near average today and this round of snow should be gone by tonight.  We are already being warned of another winter storm heading our way for Friday.  These seem to be never-ending.  Now that March is here, we’re getting our winter.  What’s even worse is that temperatures are expected to…

A Not-So-Nice Day In Mid Michigan

A Not-So-Nice Day In Mid Michigan

We had a light rain/snow mix overnight which left a trace of snow on the deck this morning  It melted down to 0.03″ of precip.  We now have light rain and most of the snow is gone except for where the snowbanks were from shoveling.  Temperatures aren’t as warm as yesterday but still not uncomfortable.    It looks like a typical day in early March. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 37°F (3°C), the humidity is 78%, and skies are cloudy with…

A Lovely Sunny Sunday In Mid Michigan

A Lovely Sunny Sunday In Mid Michigan

Slowly, our snow is melting away.  We still have about an inch or two, depending where you measure.  There is quite a bit of bare ground showing now and I expect to lose a lot more of it today.  The day began with clear skies but now clouds are on the increase.  We may get a little mixed precip late tonight or tomorrow from what I’ve hear, but no accumulations expected Our 2:30 PM temperature is 48°F (9°C), the humidity…

Our Winter Storm Was Quite Mild – Mid Michigan

Our Winter Storm Was Quite Mild – Mid Michigan

Unlike many other places in Michigan, I’d say we got off quite easy with this latest winter storm.  We only got about 5 inches, and with the sun out, it’s melting pretty fast.  Counties south of us got more snow and even had some thunder and lightning with it.  Even Lansing reported some thunder-snow.  Today is bright and sunny, and just a lovely winter day.  For those who love winter sports, they won’t have it nicer than what today is….

Excessive Snow On The Way – Mid Michigan

Excessive Snow On The Way – Mid Michigan

We are currently under a Winter Storm Warning, and the amount of snow that we can expect, depends on who you listen to.  NOAA, who is usually quite conservative, is saying that we could get up to 10 inches, but most of the local weather gurus are saying 6-8 inches for my area.  The heavy snow should reach us around 5 PM and continue into the overnight.  Thankfully, it should be over by morning.  Temperatures over the next week should…

Another Winter Storm Watch For Mid Michigan

Another Winter Storm Watch For Mid Michigan

We have another winter storm knocking on our door.  At least this one is supposed to be snow, not ice.  Estimated totals are six to eight inches for my area.  At least most of the ice cover is gone thanks to the warm temps that we had yesterday.   The Watch is from tomorrow afternoon through tomorrow night.  Today will be another hard one for the southern states, as tornadoes will plague them once again.  As for us, today’s weather should…
