We have been under drought conditions over the past month, and the past few days have put a dent in it. Rain amounts on Thursday, Friday, and yesterday have totaled just under an inch in my area and it was badly needed. In fact, the drought has really affected our fall colors as we hardly have any color at all. Leaves are drying up on the trees and falling. What color we do have is dingy and dull. I don’t…
We are finally getting some much needed rain. We received 0.27″ yesterday, and another 0.35″ overnight. Radar is showing that it is far from over and that’s good news, although today shouldn’t be a total washout. We could see a little sun later today along with strong winds. I hung my Halloween decor out and this happens every time. If it gets too windy, I’ll just have to go out and rescue them. Our 8:45 AM EDT temp is 65°F…
This morning really looked and felt like autumn. The highs yesterday were still well above normal, but the overnight low was right on the mark. There still hasn’t been a frost here but I don’t think that it is in the too distant future. We received 0.03″ of rain yesterday before skies cleared, and there was a gorgeous full moon last night. We really need more rain as things are very dry but our temps will continue to be very…
We have overcast skies this morning but no rain so far. Last night was very warm with a low only at 70°F and the AC running all night. Radar is showing a few light showers heading our way but light at best. Temps aren’t expected to rise much more than they are right now and that’s fine. It’s comfortable. Our 9:45 AM temp is 71°F (22°C), the humidity is 68%, and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the SSW at…
We just couldn’t ask for nicer weather than what we are having. There is rain in the forecast over the next several days but we actually could use it. We should see temps in the 80s this afternoon and that should make a lot of people happy. Our 1 PM temp is 83°F (28°F), the humidity is 44%, the pressure is 30.31 in (1026.1 mb) and steady. Visibility is 10 miles and the dew point is 57°F (14°C). Winds are…
We have another heat wave on the way for the next several days and I’m loving it. Yesterday was quite nice with comfortable temperatures and sun most of the day. I love this type of weather in October which is my favorite month of the year. Although it just brings the promise of winter, it’s a beautiful finale to the summer months. Our 11 AM temp is 69°F (21°F), the humidity is 49%, and skies are clear. The pressure is…
I shouldn’t be surprised with this weather since it is closer to normal than what we had a week ago. I’ve noticed that the colors haven’t changed much since we left 10 days ago. I guess that the 90 degree weather put a hold on the leaves for now. We are expecting some above-normal highs once again this week, but nothing like we have had. I don’t mind the 60s and 70s one bit, in fact, that’s perfect for my…
Last night was very chilly with frost advisories and lows falling below freezing in some spots. We did have some spotty showers yesterday afternoon but skies cleared later in the day. We are heading back home today and I will miss northern Michigan and wish we could stay longer. But all good things come to an end as they say, and we’ll look forward to next year. We ordered a new trailer yesterday as our current one is almost 20…

We finally received some rain overnight, but since I have no rain gauge here, I’m not sure how much. The closest CoCoRahs station that I could find was Mackinaw City, and they reported 0.16 inches. Other stations to our west reported up to 3/4 of an inch. This morning is very cloudy, cool, and damp. They have issued a frost advisory for tonight but not at home, I hope. This will be our last day here in Topinabee and I…
