This is a weird beginning of May to say the least.  We had rain showers yesterday that changed to snow flurries after dark.  There has been no accumulations here, but Marquette had a full-blown blizzard yesterday.  They now have close to 2 feet of snowpack.  The Yoopers love their winter sports, and this will give them one more chance to do what they love before the warm air moves in next week.  I’ve seen snow up north in May before, but not blizzard conditions with this much accumulation.

Our 9:15 AM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 97%, and skies are cloudy.  There was 0.37″ in my rain gauge this morning and no precipitation at this time.  Winds are from the west at 5-12 mph, and the wind chill is 34°F (1°C).  The pressure is 29.43 in (996.6 mb) and rising.  The dew point is 35°F (2°C) and visibility is 8 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 48°F (9°C) and the overnight low was 35°F (2°C).  Normal temps for this date are 64°F/41°F.  Sunrise was at 6:30 AM and sunset will be at 8:38 PM.
