More Snow On The Way . . . .

More Snow On The Way . . . .

This snow machine doesn’t want to turn off.  We seem to have snow everyday, and now another round is heading our way for the weekend.  We have five inches on the ground from Wednesday’s storm, and another inch was added yesterday from lake effect snow squalls throughout the day.  Today began with clear skies, but now clouds have taken over.  I’m seeing that we can expect another inch or so today.  This has been a real winter for us, the…

Snowstorm Over, Sun Is Out . . . .

Snowstorm Over, Sun Is Out . . . .

Our snowstorm is over and we have an additional five inches of ground cover.  We had some residual flurries early but now the sky has partially cleared and the sun is shining brightly.  We didn’t get nearly the snow that was predicted but that’s okay.  Five inches is a good amount.  I’m seeing that some areas, not too far from us, got more.  We still have the storm on Saturday to look forward to. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 24°F,…

Winter Weather Advisory In Effect . . . .

Winter Weather Advisory In Effect . . . .

A large snow system is heading our way although it seems to be down-played a bit.  We are expecting between 2 and 6 inches from this storm, then another will be coming on Saturday.  I’m hearing that the weekend storm may bring more snow than what we’ll get today.  Regardless,  they down graded us from a watch to an advisory. Our 10:45 AM temp is 21°F, the humidity is 81%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the NE at…

Some Real Winter Weather Coming Our Way . . . .

Some Real Winter Weather Coming Our Way . . . .

We are keeping an eye on two winter storms heading our way.  The first will arrive late tomorrow and end early on Thursday.  The second is expected to come on Saturday, and no one is estimating how much snow we will get from that one.  Some local weather gurus are saying that we could get up to 10 inches by the time it is done.  Today we have cloudy skies and intermittent snow flurries.  Temperatures are not too bad and…

Partly Cloudy / Sunny . . . . .

Partly Cloudy / Sunny . . . . .

Although yesterday was cloudy, we saw light, intermittent snow flurries throughout the day.  It left no additional snow cover  Today is quite a bit brighter, and temps will be warm enough to melt some of the ice.  The predicted snowstorms this week are still a go, and measurable snow amounts are expected on Wednesday, as well as this coming weekend.  I’ve heard of possible snow amounts anywhere from only 2 inches to 10.  So this another wait and see scenario….

A Few Flurries . . . .

A Few Flurries . . . .

Yesterday afternoon brought a winter mix of freezing rain, sleet and a little snow.  It left about quarter of an inch of frozen snow, or whatever, on our deck.  Thankfully, it wasn’t slippery.  This morning brought light snow flurries, not enough to accumulate.  We continue to have about 1.5″ of frozen mess on the lawn, and it just doesn’t get warm enough for any of it to melt.  Now we have another storm heading our way.  At this time, it…

A Little Snow On The Way . . . .

A Little Snow On The Way . . . .

We could see a little snow this afternoon, but nothing close to what was predicted.  This was supposed to be a major snow event, but now diminished to maybe an inch.  Northern Michigan is getting the brunt of it.  At lease it has been cold enough for the ski lodges to make snow, so all is good for the skiers.  My YouTube go-to weather guru, Ryan Hall, is predicting a very active February snow season for us, with one storm…

A Little Sun To End Our Week . . . . .

A Little Sun To End Our Week . . . . .

This has been a normal winter for us, the first in a long time.  The only thing lacking is the snow.  We continue to have some snow cover.  It isn’t much but remains because of the cold temperatures.  We are expected to get another few inches tomorrow but not certain yet exactly how much we will get.  A few days ago, they were telling us to expect up to 4 inches.  Now that has decreased significantly.  I guess we’ll be…

Most Freezing Rain Missed Us . . . .

Most Freezing Rain Missed Us . . . .

The winter mess that was predicted for us didn’t affect us much.  There was about half an inch of frozen ice/snow on my deck this morning, but it wasn’t even slick to walk on.  We are lucky.  I haven’t heard how the southern portions of the state made out.  Now we are left with cloudy skies and strong winds.  We still have another winter storm expected Saturday, but we haven’t heard a definite expected snow amount yet. Our 1:15 PM…

A Real Mess Heading Our Way . . . .

A Real Mess Heading Our Way . . . .

We are currently under a winter weather advisory for tonight and early tomorrow.  My area is expecting a little bit of everything from snow, sleet, and freezing rain.  The worst will hit to our south with the most freezing rain expected there.  Driving tomorrow will be a real challenge for those heading to work, and I’m just glad that those days are behind me.  Right now, all is quiet, but we can expect the mess to begin shortly after sundown…
