Another Yucky Day For New Years . . . . . .

Another Yucky Day For New Years . . . . . .

2023 is ending on a gloomy, wet note, and the sun only showed itself for about 5 minutes yesterday.  So much for our partly sunny Saturday.  Today will be wet with snow in the forecast.  We did have a very light covering early and it melted soon after I got up this morning.  There was only 0.03″ of melted precip in my gauge with fine mist.  For those who plan to go partying later, I don’t think that the roads…

Rain Should End . . . .

Rain Should End . . . .

Yesterday was wet and cold.  Today is even colder but at least it’s dry.  There was a trace of snow on the ground this morning, but it is gone now.  There is no precip in our forecast and it was supposed to become sunny by this afternoon.  So far, that hasn’t happened.  I’m seeing a chance for some snow showers tomorrow, but then the rest of the week should be dry.  Those going out on New Year’s Eve should have…

Wet And Drizzly . . . . .

Wet And Drizzly . . . . .

Nothing more can be said about today except that it’s nasty outdoors.  We received quite a bit of rain overnight with  0.41″ in my rain gauge this morning.  Since then we have had drizzle and mist with a bit of fog, and our forecast is calling for an end to it later today.  Sunshine is expected tomorrow and I hope that doesn’t change. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 41°F, the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast with light rain. …

Continued Mild For Now . . . .

Continued Mild For Now . . . .

Although our highs today won’t be as warm as the past several days, they will still be above the average.  We received 0.14″ of rain late yesterday and overnight and we now have just cloudy skies.  We could see a little more rain today but radar is showing it all to our south at this time.   Winds will be light so not a bad day so far. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 43°F (6°C), the humidity is 97%, and skies…

The Dark Days Of Winter . . . .

The Dark Days Of Winter . . . .

We have yet another dark, gloomy day with rain.  Temperatures are way above where they should be for this date, and that’s the only good thing.  This is expected to continue until Saturday, but then temps will become closer to normal.  This has been a very easy winter for us so far.  A little snow would be nice at some point, but none expected anytime soon. Our 1 PM temperature is 42°F, the humidity is 97% and skies are overcast. …

A Gloomy Day After Christmas . . ..

A Gloomy Day After Christmas . . ..

Although today has looked like rain all day, we haven’t gotten a drop as yet.  Rain is in the forecast  for tonight, although no great amounts are expected.  No sun is in the forecast until Saturday and rain is in the forecast everyday.  I think that I’ve said a few times, that I’d rather have snow this time of year.  Daylight hours are short enough without the gloom of a rainy day.  Unfortunately, I have no control over it.  I…

Merry Christmas From Mid Michigan

Merry Christmas From Mid Michigan

We had a little sun earlier today, but now clouds have taken over.  It looks like rain but none so far.  Temps are mild but the dampness gives the day a chilly feel.  It’s a quiet day for us.  The family is all here but my daughter had to leave because she works tomorrow.  My oldest son is here until Wednesday.  They both live near Detroit. our 4:30 PM temperature is 51°F.  The humidity is 87% and skies are overcast. …

Drizzle, Fog, But Mild Temps For Our Christmas Eve . . .

Drizzle, Fog, But Mild Temps For Our Christmas Eve . . .

It’s going to be a gloomy day, but at least it’s warm.  Temps could even possibly reach near the record high.  It’s going to be a very green Christmas and it will be good traveling for family gatherings.  I’m seeing possible freezing rain to our west on the national forecast map, but it shouldn’t affect us at all.  We do have some light fog but not enough to affect driving. Our 11 AM temperature is 45°F, the humidity is 100%,…

Another Gloomy Day . . . . .

Another Gloomy Day . . . . .

We received 0.66″ of rain overnight and into early this morning.  Now the rain has stopped and the radar is clear.  Temperatures are very mild and winds are light.  So other than there being a thick cloud cover, it isn’t a bad day at all.  My family all made trips to the store earlier and complained about how crowded the stores were.  That should be no surprise with Christmas just two days away.  I’m glad I don’t have to go….

Dark And Dreary Once Again . . . . .

Dark And Dreary Once Again . . . . .

Although our temperatures will be warming up over the weekend, it would be great if a sunny day would be included, but that’s not the case.  Clouds and rain showers seem to be the norm over the next week or so.  At least driving should be good. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 94%, and skies are overcast with light rain.  Winds are from the SE at 2-5 mph, and the dew point is 36°F (2°C). …
