Early Morning Ice Storm . . . .

Early Morning Ice Storm . . . .

This morning is dark and dreary with freezing rain.  There’s a thin layer of ice on the trees, bushes and my deck.  Temperatures will be on the rise so it isn’t expected to be long lasting, and hopefully the ice will melt very soon. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 32°F, the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast with rain, although I think most has stopped  for now.  Winds are from the S at 1-4 mph and the pressure is…

Merry Christmas From Mid Michigan

Merry Christmas From Mid Michigan

Our Christmas Day has cloudy skies and temperatures about where they should be for this date.  We have no precip and winds are light.  Freezing rain is in the forecast for tomorrow morning, so I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere.  I hope no one gets what northern Michigan got last March.  Freezing rain is far worse than a blizzard. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 35°F. the humidity is 73%, and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the NE…

Not A Bad Christmas Eve Day . . . . .

Not A Bad Christmas Eve Day . . . . .

Our weather today will be uneventful with mainly clouds, but we could see a few peeks of the sun.  Temperatures will be above average and there is no precipitation in the forecast.  Friday, however, will bring possible freezing rain, and much colder temps for next week. Our 11 AM temperature is 32°F, the humidity is 80%, and winds are from the ESE at 2-5 mph.  The pressure is 30.14 in and falling.  Visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 50°F…

Finally, A Bright Day . . . . .

Finally, A Bright Day . . . . .

Although quite cold, today had clear skies and it was great to see the sun again.  With Christmas just a few days away, snow is out of the question for this year.  We had constant snow cover since November 30 until two days ago.  Now I’m hearing that we can expect some mild weather to start the new year. Our 4:30 PM temperature is 26°F, the humidity is 60%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the SW at…

A Little Warmup Today . . . .

A Little Warmup Today . . . .

We had a light covering of snow yesterday morning, but it has all melted since then.  Now most of the snow is gone except where the snow piles were.  Our white Christmas is not going to happen this year.  After the past two weeks, I don’t really care.  We’ve already gotten enough snow for the year as far as I’m concerned, but I know that’s not going to happen.  At least, if these polar vortexes would stay up in Canada,…

Warmer Temps With Rain . . . . . .

Warmer Temps With Rain . . . . . .

We have a reprieve from the frigid temperatures of the past week, and we have lost about half of our snow pack.  There is still about three inches on the ground and a few patches of ice in the driveway.  Today will be very warm, but then the cold temps will return again tomorrow.  At this time, it is predicted that more warm weather will close out the year and into early January. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 44°F, the…

A Brief Warmup Begins . . . . .

A Brief Warmup Begins . . . . .

We can look forward for some loss of snow and warmer temperatures over the next few days.  I’m hoping that this frigid air will be gone for awhile.  Ryan Hall, YouTube weather analyst, is predicting above normal temps for the end of the month and into early January. In fact, having a white Christmas is questionable at this time.  I think I’ve had enough “white” to last the rest of winter. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 29°F. the humidity is…

More Of The Same . . . .

More Of The Same . . . .

Our weather hasn’t changed over the past few days.  We still have mostly cloudy skies, very cold temps, and occasional light snow.  We should start seeing warmer temps beginning tomorrow, when the highs should finally rise above the freezing mark. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 17°F, the humidity is 60%, and winds are from the south at 7-14 mph.  The pressure is 19.96 in and steady.  The dew point is 5°F and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 21°F…

Another Very Cold Day . . . .

Another Very Cold Day . . . .

We are under the influence of another arctic blast from Canada which continues to keep our temperatures much colder than they should be.  Highs today may not even make it out of the teens.  Yesterday was partly sunny but clouds moved in overnight and we got a snow shower which didn’t give us much more in accumulation.  Thankfully, we are expecting some 40 degree weather by mid week and that should rid us of some of this snow.  We currently…

Weather Advisory In Effect . . . .

Weather Advisory In Effect . . . .

The day began with snow, then changed to rain.  Now we have snow once again.  Temperatures are remaining right around freezing but are expected to drop throughout the afternoon.  That means that there will be a lot of ice.  My rain gauge showed 0.48″ of melted precip and rain as of 8:30 AM.  Our snow pack was down to 4,5″.  The forecast isn’t calling for anymore great amounts of snow, maybe an inch. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 32°F, the…
