First Ground Cover Of Snow – Mid Michigan
We were surprised this morning by a sudden snow squall. It left about half an inch on the ground and was wet enough to stick to the trees. It has stopped for now but I think that there is more on the way looking at the radar. It snowed hard enough that visibility was reduced to less than a mile. Local forecasts are saying that we could get 3 inches by late tomorrow. I really don’t dislike snow this time of year since it brightens up the landscape.
Our 11 AM temp is 32°F, the humidity is 93% and skies are overcast. Winds are from the ENE at 6-13 mph, and the dew point is 30°F. The pressure is 29.99 in and falling and visibility is 3 miles.
