Another Cloudy Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cloudy Day In Mid Michigan

Our weather lately has been boring.  Everyday is like the one before and I guess I shouldn’t complain about that.  I’m seeing where northern areas of the state got freezing rain last night and we sure don’t need any of that.  We continue to have about 2 inches of snow cover, and it just doesn’t get quite warm enough to melt any of it.  The next few days are expected to see temps in the upper 30s to near 40…

Finally, Some Sun For Our Saturday In Mid Michigan

Finally, Some Sun For Our Saturday In Mid Michigan

After multiple cloudy days, we finally have some sun this morning.  Unfortunately, there are very cold temperatures with it.  It was only 13F when I got up this morning, and temps have rebounded a bit since then.  Highs are only expected to make it into the low 30s so the sun will help make it feel warmer.  We continue to have about 2 inches of snow cover and temperatures are expected to remain at about freezing, so I don’t think…

Another Blah, Cloudy Day In Mid Michigan

Another Blah, Cloudy Day In Mid Michigan

Highs yesterday reached just enough above freezing to make the road muddy, but not really enough to get rid of any snow cover.  We still have about 2 inches on the ground and no more is expected for a while.  In fact, a local forecaster is saying that we could see a bit of sun over the next few days.  That would be nice.  It does seem, however, that when we have a sunny day, the temperatures are a lot…

A Quiet, Mild Mid January Day In Mid Michigan

A Quiet, Mild Mid January Day In Mid Michigan

Member posted: January 7 2021 at 4:15 pm   This has been a peaceful week weather-wise here in Michigan.  There hasn’t been much precipitation and what we got was very light.  We had quite a bit of sun this morning which was nice, but now clouds have filled the skies.  We received three inches of snow on Saturday, but that has melted down to 2 inches of snow cover now. Area’s where my husband snow-blowed is down to bare ground,…

A Typical January Day In Mid Michigan

A Typical January Day In Mid Michigan

Our trees are still snow covered with very little thawing going on.  Gotta admit, it’s very pretty.  This is why I like snow in the winter.  Without it, the days are so dark and gloomy.  We have about 3 inches on the ground and most of the ice has melted.  Temps are in the mid 30s and there is almost no wind, so it’s very pleasant to be out there.  I’m happy for the winter sports enthusiasts because today would…

First Real Winter Storm Of The Season – Mid Michigan

First Real Winter Storm Of The Season – Mid Michigan

It began as rain in the afternoon, then changed to snow by early evening.  Just when we thought that we were spared from the freezing rain, it changed to freezing rain.  By nightfall, it was heavy to moderate snow again.  It was wet and heavy, and made for a beautiful snow-covered night with it clinging to everything.  Temperatures are not supposed to rise much above freezing this upcoming week, so I think it will be lasting for awhile. Our 10:15…

A Messy New Year’s Day For Mid Michigan

A Messy New Year’s Day For Mid Michigan

I think that this picture insert pretty much tells what we can expect today.  Right now it is calm but it doesn’t look like it will be that way much longer.  I’m just glad that I don’t have to go anywhere today. Our 1 PM temperature is 29F (-2C), the humidity is 89%, and winds are from the ESE at 4-7 mph.  The dew point is 26F (-3C) and visibility is 10 miles.  The pressure is 30.05 in (1017.6 mb)…

Nasty Weather Expected For Our New Year’s Day – Mid Michigan

Nasty Weather Expected For Our New Year’s Day – Mid Michigan

Although I doubt that there will be much partying going on tonight, those who do have to be traveling may find it quite difficult.  There is a wintry mix in the forecast with freezing rain for our New Year’s Day.  This is going to be a strange year with few of the regular New Year festivities. No tournament of roses parade, and no big crowds for the ball drop in New York.   The Rose Parade has always been the highlight…

Today Is Supposed To Be Sunny, But Not Much Sun So Far – Mid Michigan

Today Is Supposed To Be Sunny, But Not Much Sun So Far – Mid Michigan

Today began very cold with temps in the teens and we’ll be lucky to see the freezing mark today.  At least we don’t have strong winds to contend with.  Yesterday was a sad day for us.  My daughter had to have her old dog put to sleep and that’s always a hard thing to do.  The dog was 16 years old and my daughter  had her from a puppy.  So that put a bit of a damper on our holidays. …

December Ending With Quiet, Normal Weather – Mid Michigan

December Ending With Quiet, Normal Weather – Mid Michigan

This, being our last week of December, is quite uneventful.  There are no major storms or any significant weather in the forecast.  The little snow that we have is slowly melting and rain in the the forecast for tonight.  Temperatures will be about normal and we aren’t expected to see much sun over the next week.  That’s typical for Michigan at this time of year.  At least with some snow, it doesn’t seem so dreary out there. Our 2:45 PM…
