One would think that it is January as cold as it is.  I keep waiting for Indian Summer but I don’t think that it will happen anytime soon.  What’s worse is that it’s supposed to be even colder next week, with highs only in the 20s.  On the positive side, we have bright sunshine today which makes it more bearable.  We are finishing cleaning up the yard and  putting the rest of the lawn furniture away.  The middle portions of the lower peninsula have about 5 inches of snow on the ground.  We lucked out and just got a trace.  My husband wants to mow the lawn one last time and mulch the remaining leaves  We don’t rake, we mulch.

Our 1 PM temperature is 36°F (2°C).  Winds are from the northwest at 7 mph, and the dew point is 20°F (-7°C).  The humidity is 59% and visibility is 10 miles.  The pressure is 30.38 in (1028.8 mb) and falling.  Skies are mostly clear.  The wind chill is 27°F (-3°C).  Yesterday’s high was 38°F (3°C) and the overnight low was 23°F (-5°C).  Averages for this date are 50°F / 36°F.
