A Typical December Day In Mid Michigan

A Typical December Day In Mid Michigan

Once again, we have about half an inch of snow cover which happened overnight.  Snow showers are in the forecast all day, so we can expect a bit more.  There are no stated total amounts listed so I’m assuming that it won’t be much.  Regardless, it’s a grey day with average temperatures and the sun is trying ti peek out right now.  It’s always nice to get a glimpse of the sun now and then this time of year. Our…

A Cloudy But Mild Saturday Morning

A Cloudy But Mild Saturday Morning

This morning is quite pleasant although it still is lacking in sunlight.  I think that we are getting used to that.  At least it isn’t bitter cold or snowing out.  Yesterday felt balmy with highs reaching into the 40s, and although today will be a little cooler, still won’t be too bad.  Everyone is busy getting ready for Christmas and I think I’m all set except for some last minute shopping.  I’m hoping for a little snow but I haven’t…

Lake Effect Snow Squalls, Intermittent Sun For Our Tuesday.

Lake Effect Snow Squalls, Intermittent Sun For Our Tuesday.

Today is much colder than the past two days and it really feels like a winter day.  The high made it up to 50°F yesterday and what a difference a day makes.  We did receive about quarter of an inch of rain yesterday before it turned to snow.  There was just a trace on the ground when I got up, but now there is about half an inch with the snow bands that have been passing over us throughout the…

It feels like a morning in April with temps in the 40s and highs expected near 50°.  Unfortunately, it isn’t going to last.  There is a very cold weather system heading our way, and highs over the next few day will only reach the mid 20s.  Snow is in our forecast tonight although no significant accumulations are expected.  Right now we have light rain, and the radar is showing that this will probably be with us most of the day….

Partly Cloudy, Normal Temperatures For Mid Michigan

We are seeing a little sun this morning but the wind is already picking up, making it feel colder than what it is.  Just seeing the sun makes it a pleasant morning.  The snow that we received is now gone, and we aren’t really expecting any significant amounts anytime soon.  The weather has been quite normal so far this season with the exception of the  snowstorm that we had in early November.  I’m hoping that it stays that way. Our…

Cold, Snowy, Typical December Weather For Mid Michigan

Cold, Snowy, Typical December Weather For Mid Michigan

We had a snow shower develop yesterday evening just to our northwest, and it proceeded to move in our direction, gaining momentum as it advanced toward us.  It dropped an inch of snow on us in a short time.  It didn’t last long, just enough to make the roads wet and obstruct vision a bit.  I hate driving on wet roads when it’s dark, and with the daylight hours so minimal right now, I try to do all my running…

Cold, Light Snow In Mid Michigan

Cold, Light Snow In Mid Michigan

We have been getting a few flakes of snow intermittently throughout the morning but most on the ground is gone.  It’s a grey, dark day with temperatures barely above freezing.  There’s enough wind to drop the “feels like”  temps to uncomfortable levels, so not a nice day to be outdoors.  I have a Christmas Dinner at the hospital this afternoon which I’m attending with a friend that I worked with years ago  The hospital always invites retirees which is nice….
