A Little Sun, Some Clouds, and A Lot Of Wind – Mid Michigan

A Little Sun, Some Clouds, and A Lot Of Wind – Mid Michigan

Our issue today is the cold temperatures.  Most of the snow showers seem to be done with although I’m still seeing a few flurries from time to time.  We have about 5 inches of snow cover.  Strong winds are creating drifts making some roads quite slick.  The sun even peeks out every so often.  It’s a good day to just stay home if one doesn’t have to go anywhere. Our 12:45 PM temp is 19F (-7C), the humidity is 67%,…

A Welcome Sunny Day – Mid Michigan

A Welcome Sunny Day – Mid Michigan

While the Northeast is experiencing blizzard conditions, we have a very bright but cold Tuesday here in Michigan.  It’s never a bad thing to see the sun, even when temps are much too cold to go out and enjoy it.  We do have another weather system coming in for our Thursday but I haven’t really heard anything about it as far as how it will affect us.  We continue to have about 3 inches of snow cover and it doesn’t…

Today is the first in a week that we haven’t had any snow.  Everyday has brought flurries.  The past two days had less than an inch and we have only about three inches of snow cover at this time.  There is another weather system heading our way but haven’t heard much info on it yet.  We are in a snow drought with precipitation levels much below normal.  There are concerns among the farmers if this continues much longer. Our 3:15…

Another Winter Weather System Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Although we are not under any watches or advisories yet, I’m expecting it to happen later on today.  This seems to be a repeat of last weekend.  We were only supposed to get 1-2 inches then, and that’s what they’re predicting for us tomorrow.  Last weekend, we got 4 inches and it has remained all week.  Temperatures have had a hard time making it to the freezing mark, and the only thawing that we’ve seen is where the sun was…
