Finally, Some Sun In Mid Michigan

Finally, Some Sun In Mid Michigan

After a cloudy morning, the sun finally came out and skies are perfectly clear now.  Unfortunately, with it came very brisk winds.   Our total snow over the past 3 days was around 5 inches for my area, much better than what the western side of the state got.  There is a graph below which shows  the highest snow amounts from this storm in our state.  The next few days will be very nice, but I’m already hearing of another storm…

Another Cold, Snowy, Cloudy Day – Mid Michigan

Another Cold, Snowy, Cloudy Day – Mid Michigan

This is our 4th day with snow and below average temperatures.  We have about 2 inches of snow cover with some ice.  We would have a lot more except there was quite a bit of thawing in spite of the cold temperatures.  Today should be the end of it with some warming over the next several days.  Thursday will be the warmest, and that is good considering that my husband plans on cooking the turkey outdoors.  We have to make…

No Snow Emergency For Us – Mid Michigan

No Snow Emergency For Us – Mid Michigan

We didn’t get the massive snow amounts that other areas did, but today will be miserable none the less.  We had lake effect snow showers for the past two days, but the ground is warm enough that much of it melted.  We do have about 2 inches of snow cover and ice where it melted and refroze.  The big issues today are the temperatures and wind.  Highs won’t even reach the freezing mark and wind chills are brutal.  I guess…

Over Three Inches Of Snow To Start The Weekend – Mid Michigan

Over Three Inches Of Snow To Start The Weekend – Mid Michigan

We had intermittent snow showers all day Thursday, which increased in  intensity in the evening.  Most of the early snow melted on contact, but heavier showers later in the day started accumulating.  Radar is showing more on the way.  I’m seeing where parts of New York state got three feet, so I won’t complain.  Highs today won’t reach much higher than the freezing mark, so I don’t think that much of it will melt.  But the ground is warm so…

Cold With More Snow For Mid Michigan

Cold With More Snow For Mid Michigan

At least we aren’t under a winter storm watch / warning like western and northern portions of our state.  We do, however, continue to have periodic snow showers.  Most of the snow has been melting since the ground is still quite warm.  There is about an inch of snow cover where it hasn’t melted and our forecast is for more of the same over the next several days and into the weekend.  Right now, our next possible sunny day is…

Our First Measurable Snow Of The Season – Mid Michigan

Our First Measurable Snow Of The Season – Mid Michigan

We woke to a white world this morning with about an inch of snow on the ground.  Liquid measure was about 0.13″.  It’s a wet snow so it is sticking to all the tree branches.  Highs today will probably not make it out of the mid 30s, but there isn’t much wind so it’s actually quite pleasant outdoors.   Snow showers are in our forecast for today but no real accumulations are expected. Our noon temperature is 33°F, the humidity is…

First Ground Cover Of Snow – Mid Michigan

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…

A Yucky Weather Period Ahead For Mid Michigan

A Yucky Weather Period Ahead For Mid Michigan

Today really looks and feels like November.  It is cold and temperatures are remaining in the upper 30s.  The high was supposed to reach 40°F today but I don’t think it’s going to make it.  At least it isn’t windy so not much wind chill to deal with.  The remainder of this week has snow/rain in the forecast everyday.  Temperatures will be below average most days, and we could see our first accumulations of snow.  Yippee! Our 4:15 PM temperature…

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

There isn’t much to say about today except that it’s cold and gloomy.  The forecast called for partly sunny but we haven’t seen much sun yet.  Highs aren’t even expected to reach the 40s, so it’s a drastic change from what we had three day ago.  We did see a few snow flurries fall a little white ago, but not enough to amount to anything. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 36°F, the humidity is 54%, and skies are cloudy.  Winds…

Really Feels Like November Today – Mid Michigan

Really Feels Like November Today – Mid Michigan

This morning began with clear skies but clouds have moved in since then.  It won’t be very warm today but otherwise not too bad.  At least we have no snow yet but I’m expecting that to happen very soon.  We could see some rain or snow flurries, but no real precip amounts until Tuesday. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 39°F, the humidity is 71%, and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the west at 2-9 mph and visibility is 12…
