A Cold And Windy Palm Sunday

A Cold And Windy Palm Sunday

Today certainly isn’t the nicest of days with cloudy skies, a few raindrops and a lot of wind.  Also our temperatures are expected to remain steady or drop as the day goes on.  Northern counties could even see some snow and I’m hoping that it stays north of us.  This time of year is such a teaser, with spring weather one day, then back to winter the next.  April is predicted to be quite nice, and with next Sunday being…

Mild Temperatures, Cloudy Skies For Mid Michigan

Our morning began with clear skies, but now there is mostly clouds and the winds have picked up.  Temperatures will be quite a bit warmer than yesterday, and it is actually quite pleasant outdoors.  The rains of Thursday night have really greened things up and the look and feel of spring is abundant.  There is more rain expected for tonight and that’s okay.  We could use more. Our 2:45 pm temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 63% and skies…

Much Needed Rain In Mid Michigan

Much Needed Rain In Mid Michigan

After a night of moderate to heavy rainfall, our Friday has been mostly dry.  There was 1.47″ in my gauge this morning and it was very welcome.  The grass has greened up a bit and the fire danger is now over.  There is a chance of more rain over the next few days and our temperatures are much cooler.  Today’s temp was at our normal level for this date, but it feels cold compared to what we’ve had over the…

A Little Overnight Rain, Warm Temperatures For Mid Michigan

Yesterday was another gorgeous day although quite breezy.  Highs made it into the low 70s and skies were clear part of the day.  We received 0.10″ of rain overnight which was nice, but we need a lot more.  We could get some decent rain on Friday from what they’re saying, and I hope it happens.  Today won’t be quite as warm as yesterday but it will be quite windy.  Then temperatures are expected to fall for the weekend and normal…

We have an outstanding day to look forward to with highs expected to get close to the 70 degree mark.  It will be quite breezy but will still be nice.  Yesterday was great too and we sat outdoors for about an hour in perfect comfort with no coats.  I know that it’s too early for this to last but it sure is nice while we have it.  We could see some rain tomorrow night and I hope it happens.  It…

A Beautiful March Day In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful March Day In Mid Michigan

We are blessed with another warm day with light breezes and clear skies.  This is the first time this year that we are sitting outdoors with no coat.  The sun is really  warm although the wind is a bit chilly.  I brought some of the lawn furniture out since I think it’s safe.  If we still get a little snow, it won’t hurt anything.  My crocus are starting to pop up as are my daffodils.  There are large buds on…

A Lovely First Day Of Spring in Mid Michigan

A Lovely First Day Of Spring in Mid Michigan

Today, Spring officially begins and the weather couldn’t be nicer.  Skies are clear, winds are light, and temperatures should reach near 60F.  It’s perfect for getting out and doing some spring clean up in the yard.  The moles have been busy making their little mole hills.  Some look more like volcanoes, and we need to do something about that.  When we had horses, we didn’t have that problem with them stomping the ground.  Those little varmints sure mess up the…

A Beautiful St Paddy’s Day In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful St Paddy’s Day In Mid Michigan

Today is absolutely lovely with plenty of sun and very light breezes.  This doesn’t happen very often.  Unfortunately, it won’t last long with more clouds and rain/snow expected for tonight and tomorrow.  At least we have today and God is smiling on the Irish.  We have a fairly new Irish Pub here in the village of Vernon, about 4 miles from my house, and we’re going there for dinner tonight.  I hope it isn’t too packed. Our 2 PM temperature…
