Very Chilly, Windy But Sunny – Mid Michigan

Very Chilly, Windy But Sunny – Mid Michigan

Although today is supposed to be a little warmer than yesterday, it sure doesn’t feel that way yet. it is 33F and winds are out of the southwest at 14 miles an hour, and that makes it feel pretty cold. On the positive side, the sun is out and skies are mostly clear. We can look forward to temperatures in the 50s next week and that is sounding really good right now.  Our snow cover has decreased to about 50%…

A Mix Of Sun, Clouds, and Wind – Mid Michigan

A Mix Of Sun, Clouds, and Wind – Mid Michigan

We woke to clear skies and sun this morning, but now clouds have taken over. It’s going to be a cold windy day with highs only around the freezing mark. Yesterday temperatures reached the fifties and we lost much of our snow. Meteorologically speaking, today is the first day of spring but it sure isn’t going to feel like it.  We received a little rain overnight that measured 0.02 in my gauge and no predicted snow showers that I could…

Very Mild Temperature For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

Very Mild Temperature For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

We had a lot of thawing yesterday and highs got near 50 degrees.  We should see highs in the 50s once again today and that should take care of at least half of what snow we have left.  Our snow cover is now down to about 70% and it measure anywhere from 1-4 inches where it still remains.  There is even rain in the forecast and I’m hoping that it doesn’t leave a layer of ice on everything.  This is…

Spring Is In The Air – Mid Michigan

Spring Is In The Air – Mid Michigan

We can actually see some bare ground now. We lose a little more snow everyday and our snow pack is now down to about 6 in. With the sun and highs in the low 40s, it’s really starting to look and feel like spring.  What’s even nicer is that the upcoming week looks just as good. Our 2 PM temp is 40F (4C), the humidity is 49%, and skies re clear.  Winds are from the SSE at 3-10 mph and…

Very Warm, A Lot Of Snow Melt – Mid Michigan

Very Warm, A Lot Of Snow Melt – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was absolutely wonderful. We had clear skies all day and very warm temperatures. Our high made it up to 46 degrees and we lost about 2 in of snow pack. It is now at about 9.5 inches.

Our 11:30 AM temp is 47F (8C), the humidity is 66%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  Winds are from the…

Much Warmer Temperatures In Mid Michigan

Much Warmer Temperatures In Mid Michigan

Our snow pack is now down to about 11 inches and we are losing a little more each day.  Our forecast for the next few days is calling for warmer temps than originally given.  That’s fine with me.  What’s even better is that there isn’t much in the way of precipitation predicted over the next week or so.  So maybe we are turning the corner on our winter weather.  We shouldn’t complain since February brought us the only real winter…

Cloudy But Warmer In Mid Michigan – We’ll Take It!

Cloudy But Warmer In Mid Michigan – We’ll Take It!

Our morning began with about an inch of new snow on the deck, but it was already melting so no shoveling was necessary.  It is now almost gone.  Temps were at or above freezing all night, so what snow did fall was very wet.  There were large flakes of snow falling when I went to bed last night and I’m seeing reports on CoCoRahs that it turned to rain overnight.  I’m not sure if it did here but I’m thinking…

A Lovely Sunday In Mid Michigan

A Lovely Sunday In Mid Michigan

Our morning was sunny and bright, but now some clouds have moved in.  We have another weather system moving in tonight which could bring us another inch or so of new snow.  This happens almost every day and we need for some of it to melt before we get anymore.  We’ve been feeding the birds as well as the deer since I think they have a hard time finding food with all this snow.  I know the birds are at…

A Sunny Saturday In Mid Michigan

A Sunny Saturday In Mid Michigan

The sun is out today and that’s a good thing. Unfortunately, it isn’t warm enough to melt any of this snow. In fact, we received another inch overnight. We continue to have about 15 in of snow cover and it all accumulated from these snow showers that we’ve been getting every day. I’m ready for some days in the 40s or 50s so that it can start melting. At least the snow on the deck is gone. Thank you, Mr….

Another Two Inches Of Snow For Us – Mid Michigan

Another Two Inches Of Snow For Us – Mid Michigan

Our skies have cleared somewhat and we have a mix of sun and clouds right now.  Temperatures are definitely warmer than what we have had and the two inches of new snow from last night has now increased our snow cover to 15 inches.    We shoveled the deck early for the dog and it has now melted down to wood.  We keep getting an inch or two almost everyday and none of it melts.  My heart goes out to the…
