Big Warmup Today . . . . .

Big Warmup Today . . . . .

Today will certainly feel like spring.  Most of our snow melted yesterday, and what is left will be gone by tonight.  Highs will reach near 60°F but I don’t expect to see much sun today. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 64% and skies are cloudy with filtered sun.  Winds are from the SE at 8-15 mph, and the pressure is 29.90 in (1012.5 mb) and steady.  The dew point is 26°F (-3°C) and visibility is…

The Thaw Begins . . . .

The Thaw Begins . . . .

After one of our more significant snowfalls this winter-spring season, another system of warm air is heading our way.  We already lost more than half of the snow that we got on Friday, and it will all be gone by tomorrow night.  We had a very sunny day yesterday, and that made it much warmer than what the thermometer read.  Today will be warmer, but not as much sun, if any. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 30°F, the humidity is…

Four Inches Of Snow . . . .

Four Inches Of Snow . . . .

Happy Spring to us all!  Our snowfall is more than we have had all winter.  I think it will be around through the weekend, because there is no warmup until Monday.  I went out and shoveled paths for my doggy and made sure the bird feeders were full.  With the sun out this morning, it is really a bright day! Our 9:30 AM temperature is 25°F, the humidity is 87%, and winds are from the NW at 0-7 mph.  Skies…

Spring Snow . . . . .

Spring Snow . . . . .

We woke to 1.5 inches of snow cover, and it’s been snowing ever since.  The forecast is calling for about 4 inches total for us.  Since temperatures are supposed to rise into the 50s next week, most of this will be gone on Monday.  So for today, I’m glad that we don’t have to go anywhere. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 30°F, the humidity is 90%, and skies are cloudy with moderate snowfall.  Winds are from the E at 2-6…

Continued Below-Average Temps . . . . .

Our temperatures overnight were one of the coldest of the season.  Lows fell into the lower teens, and it was only 17°F when I got up this morning.  Yesterday was very blustery and highs didn’t make it much above the freezing mark.  It was warm enough, however, to melt all the snow on the ground.  We did see quite a bit of sun and that surely helped.  Today has been sunny so far, and there is a thin cloud cover,…

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds . . . . .

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds . . . . .

We woke to an inch of snow on the ground, however most is gone now.  Temperatures will remain well below average today, in fact, most of this week.  The high today won’t reach much higher than the freezing mark, and strong winds will make it even feel colder.  Now that spring is here, we are getting our winter weather.  I am hearing that we could get a significant amount of snow on Friday, but no one is giving any estimates…

A Little Warmer But Hardly Noticable . . . .

A Little Warmer But Hardly Noticable . . . .

Highs are expected to reach the mid 40s today, but with the wind, it won’t feel like it.  Our morning began with some hazy sun, but now clouds have taken over.  Yesterday brought intermittent flurries and the little snow cover that we had, was gone by late afternoon.  Windy conditions and below normal temperatures are expected through the weekend. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 41°F, the humidity is 49%, and winds are from the SW at 15 to 25 mph. …

Snow Flurries And Cold Temperatures . . . .

Snow Flurries And Cold Temperatures . . . .

Our landscape this morning was white with about half and inch of snow.  Since then, most has melted, but we still have a few flurries in the air.  Temperatures won’t be rising much today, and it really feels like winter.  We can expect this for the remainder of the week. Our 3 PM temperature is 33°F (1°C), the humidity is 68%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the NW at 10-16 mph, and the pressure is 29.95 in (1014.2…

A Little More Winter For Us . . . .

A Little More Winter For Us . . . .

We have had a few scattered snow showers today, and now the sun is shining.  With the wind, it really feels like winter again.  We really can’t complain with the lovely weather that we’ve had this winter season, so we have to expect this sometimes.  Highs this week will only reach into the low 40s or upper 30s, so no light jacket weather this week for us. Our 4:15 PM temperature is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 60%, and skies…

Gloomy And Chilly . . . .

Gloomy And Chilly . . . .

My heart goes out to those in Ohio and Indiana who are victims of the tornadoes last night.  Michigan was lucky once again, and all we got was moderate to heavy rain.  There is one lightning strike showing on my weather station, but it was 15 miles away.  There was 0.40″ in my rain gauge this morning and most of the rain was done by early evening.  Today will still be mild but I don’t think we’ll see much sun,…
