Rain, Rain, and More Rain . . . .

Rain, Rain, and More Rain . . . .

The rain began overnight and is expected to continue all day.  It’s a wet and gloomy Sunday, a good day to stay in and watch football . . . . or basketball, whichever you prefer.  I enjoyed the college football games yesterday, especially since Michigan won the Big 10 Championship.  My brother’s team, the Washington Huskies also took their division title, but Michigan will be going to the Rose Bowl.  The Wolverines and the Huskies are one and two in…

Cloudy And Damp For Our Saturday . . . . .

Cloudy And Damp For Our Saturday . . . . .

Our rain ended late yesterday and we received little over half an inch in all.  We could see some sprinkles or snow flurries today but nothing is happening at this time.  It is cloudy and damp, and I don’t think that we’ll be seeing any sun today.  At least the highs should make it into the low 40s.  That’s much closer to where they should be for this date. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 94%,…

Rain For Our Friday . . . . .

Rain For Our Friday . . . . .

Yesterday was beautiful, but rain began early this morning and will probably continue through most of the day.  The rain/snow line is barely to our north so it doesn’t look like we’ll get any of the snow showers that were predicted.  At least rain doesn’t make slick roads.  The radar looks like it will end later this afternoon unless more develops. So I’ll wait to go shopping until tonight. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 40°F (4°C), the humidity is 97%,…

Enough Warmth To Melt The Snow . . . .

Enough Warmth To Melt The Snow . . . .

Today will be our warmest day for awhile, and we have already lost half of our snow cover.  I’m sure that most, if not all, will be gone by sundown.  We are expected to have above average temps for most of December, but the next few will still be unseasonable cold.  The wind will also be an issue today which will make it feel colder. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 46°F (8°C), the humidity is 65%, and winds are from…

Another Cold Day . . . . .

Another Cold Day . . . . .

We did lose a little snow yesterday but there is still about half an inch in most places.  We won’t see much, if any sun, today and winds will continue to make it uncomfortable to be out and about.  Tomorrow is expected to be much better and I’m glad since we have to go to Detroit. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 31°F (-1°C), the humidity is 74%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the SW at 6-11 mph, giving…

Clear And Sunny, But Very Cold . . . .

Clear And Sunny, But Very Cold . . . .

It seems good to see clear skies and sun, but the temperature is way below average, and the wind makes it even colder.  I was watching one of the YouTube Weather gurus, and he said that we should expect a big warmup for most of December.  I hope he’s right but only time will tell.  It doesn’t sound like we should expect a white Christmas, but he also said that there are a few major winter storms in the making,…

Snow Cover Will Be With Us For A While . . . .

Snow Cover Will Be With Us For A While . . . .

The snow began around noon yesterday and continued most of the day.  It stopped around sunset and left about 3/4 of an inch on the ground.  Much was melting on contact early on.  Temps today aren’t expected to even reach freezing, so it will probably remain for a few days.  We could still see a little more today as lake effect snow squalls will continue.  They are usually brief and don’t come this far inland, so I’m not expecting much…

The Snow Finally Arrived . . . . .

The Snow Finally Arrived . . . . .

The snow began right around noon, and has continued moderately since then.  Most has melted on contact, but some is beginning to stay.  I’d say that we have about half an inch so far.  It is wet and sticking to all the branches of bushes and trees.  It’s actually very pretty.  Our expected snow total is about one inch, but radar is showing quite a bit more still coming, so I’m thinking that we may get a little bit more…

Unseasonably Cold . . . .

Unseasonably Cold . . . .

We have another very cold morning with temps starting out in the mid teens.  There is also a very heavy frost, and that could become snow tomorrow.  It is only expected to be about an inch, but that’s enough to make the roads slippery.  Highs today will only reach the mid 30s, and next week isn’t suppose to warm up until the weekend. Our 10 AM temperature is 28°F (-2°C), the humidity is 76% and winds are from the SW…

Feels Like January . . . . .

Feels Like January . . . . .

This is our coldest day yet this season.  Highs will only make it into the low 30s and thankfully, we don’t have strong winds today.  Next week will bring winter weather with snow expected a few days.  I’m hearing that most will be lake effect, so no telling how much we could get.  I guess it is that time of year, and we usually have had more snow by now than what we have had this year.  No complaining here….
