It’s Like A Day In January . . . . .

This is much too cold for this time of year.  Usually, we’re lucky to even see any lasting snow in December.  This year it came and doesn’t show any signs of leaving anytime soon.  Temperatures are much below where they should be and it’s hard to believe it’s only December.  We received another inch of snow early this morning, so we now have about 6 inches of snow pack.  We were warned by several YouTube weather analyzers that computers predicted…

More January Weather . . . .

More January Weather . . . .

Our morning began with almost clear skies, then the clouds moved in and it has been snowing very lightly most of the day.  We had 4 inches of snow cover, received another inch overnight, so now we have 5.  There isn’t much wind and temps are hovering right near freezing, so it isn’t a bad day to be out shopping.  We aren’t expecting much change in the weather over the next week, no noticeable warming anytime soon.  I think there…

Quiet And Milder . . . .

We are getting some relief from the frigid weather that we’ve had the past few days.  Temperatures now are closer to where they should be for this time of year. We could see some snow tomorrow but not a significant amount.  We continue to have about 3.5 inches of snow on the ground and I don’t think that it will be gone anytime soon. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 31°F, the humidity is 68%, and winds are from the west…

Continued Below Average Temps . . . . .

The frigid weather is still with us.  Last night’s temperatures dipped into the single digits but the next day or so will be a bit warmer.  This is like January.  Our morning began with clear skies but now clouds have taken over.  I hope that we don’t get anymore snow for awhile.  I have to go to Detroit on Friday, so I want the roads to be clear and dry. Our 2 PM temperature is 24°F, the humidity is 58%,…

A Very Cold Sunny Day . . . .

A Very Cold Sunny Day . . . .

Today was beautiful if you didn’t have to go outdoors.  It really feels like January and I’m hoping for a warmup soon.  It isn’t even officially winter yet and we’re having this January – February weather.  What’s worse is that there is no warmup coming in the near future according to local forecasters.  I’m just hoping that we get not additional sun this coming week. Our 5:30 PM temperature is 13°F, the humidity is 62% and skies are clear.  Winds…

Interesting Fog To Start The Day . . . . .

This morning began with sunny skies and fog which was lifted about 20-30 feet off the ground.  Ground level was clear.  It seemed like there should be hoar frost but none was seen.  Temps dipped into the teens again overnight but recovered a bit after sunrise.  Our temperature is below where it should be, and no warmup is expected anytime soon. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 73% and winds are SW at 4-9 mph.  Skies are…

Our 2:30 pm temperature is 31°F, the humidity is 64% and skies area overcast.  Winds are from the S at 2-7 mph, and the pressure is 30.55 in and falling.  The dew point  us 19°F and…

First Snowstorm Of The Season . . .

First Snowstorm Of The Season . . .

The snow began late afternoon, then gradually progressed as the night wore on.  We were expecting 6-9 inches but only got 4.  That’s a nice number and we can do without the rest.  Many places in the state got over a foot, and northern Michigan and the UP had blizzard conditions.  The snow has now ended.  I think we lucked out for the most part, no raging snowstorm or loss of power.  We have to go to Detroit on Dec….

Major Storm On The Way . . . .

Major Storm On The Way . . . .

A couple of major storms are baring down on us with expected substantial amount of snow.  The western side, northern half, and the upper peninsula are already getting it, and it should start here tomorrow afternoon. Snow amounts vary depending on the source, but most media are saying 4-6 inches for this area.  I’m hearing up to 10 inches from AccuWeather, but we’ll soon find out. Our 3 PM temperature is 30°F, the humidity is 65% and wind°s are from…
