Mid Michigan Weather

This morning seems peaceful with sun and light winds.  Unfortunately there is another winter event looming on our horizon.  Most of the snow that we received yesterday has already melted but we could see another 1-3 inches tomorrow.  At least, when it happens this time of year, we know that it won’t last very long.  It is depressing however to look out the window and see all white.  I’m still not seeing any sign of my spring flowers. Our 9:45…

They told us to expect it, but we didn’t want to believe it.  We’re lucky that it’s only an inch.  Some places up north received a foot.  Regardless, we should be seeing flowers sprouting, not snow.  Yesterday brought heavy rain and our first thunder shower of the year.  There was 0.53 in my gauge this morning and we received a little more snow after that.  It seems to have ended now but strong winds have replaced it.  I think we’re…

So far there are no winter weather advisories for my area and I’m hoping that it stays that way.  Northern Michigan could receive as much as a foot of snow with lesser amounts just to our north and west.  Local meteorologist, Mark Torregrossa, warns that this scenario could change at any time.  Yesterday was quite nice with light winds but very chilly temps.  Unfortunately, this will be what we can expect over the upcoming week.  There is no real warmup…

Easter Sunday began with cloudy skies, but the sun came out later in the day.  Today should be quite nice with plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, there is another snowstorm looming in our future.  At this time, it appears that most will remain to our north, but the computer models seem to indicate that this is a changing scenario and could swing further south than what appears at this time.  Winter just won’t give up this year!  This will be one…

Yes, there was a very thin layer of snow on my deck this morning when I got up, and our temperatures won’t be much warmer than they are right now.  This is much too cold for the first week of April and everyone is more than ready for spring weather to arrive.  At least we have a little sun and that raises the spirits a bit. Our 1:45 AM temp is 34°F (1°C), winds are from the west at 8…

Our weekend is starting out with blustery weather and rain.  It’s going to be a not-so-nice Easter for us.  I was hoping that the forecast would change but no such luck.  What’s worse is that there is no warmup in the foreseeable future.  A wind advisory is in effect with gusts up to 50 mph possible this afternoon.  I’m hoping that there will be no power outages.  The generator is in place just in case. Our 1 PM temperature is…

Mother Nature is giving us the promise of sunshine today although temperatures will be cool.  That’s better than what we are expecting next week.  Highs are predicted to only be in the 30s all week long and snow is in the forecast once again.  The rain that we received over the past three days has greened  the grass up a little but not enough to start it growing.  We need a good thunderstorm but I don’t see that happening anytime…

Our Thursday morning is mild but fog is developing at the present time.  We received 0.03″ overnight and showers are expected to continue through the day.  Highs will continue to fall as we go through the weekend and Sunday will feel more like Christmas than Easter.  Our first week of April will be cold with the possibility of some snow.  Spring is having a hard time taking hold this year and I have heard that long-range predictions are calling for…

This morning is starting out damp and cloudy but the sun is expected to make a showing later this afternoon.  Temperatures could reach near the 50 mark, so it should be a lovely afternoon.  Unfortunately, it isn’t going to last through our Easter weekend.  And to make things worse, our first week of April is expected to bring more winter weather including some accumulating snow.  Winter just doesn’t’ want to let go this year. Our 9:15 AM temp is 39°F…

We have finally received some rain although we could use much more.  There was 0.21″ in my gauge at 8 AM and it is still sprinkling.  Radar is showing much more to come.  This week will see above average temperatures, then cooling off once again for Easter weekend.  There is even the possibility of snow or rain/snow mix, something that most of us don’t want to hear. Our 9 AM temp is 42°F (5°C),  the humidity is 88%, and skies…
