Almost Feels Like Summer – Mid Michgan

Almost Feels Like Summer – Mid Michgan

It seemed so good to sleep with the window open last night.  We won’t have many more like that, and this warm spell could be our last one this year.  I’m hoping for more right into November, and it has happened in the past.  They are predicting a mild winter for our area and I’m hoping they are right.  Today should be the pick day of the week with plenty of sun and highs in the 70s.  The next few…

A Big Warm-up Coming – Mid Michigan

A Big Warm-up Coming – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was lovely.  We had plenty of sun, light breezes, and temperatures were comfortable, near normal for this date.  It was nice just to get out for a ride and take in the fall colors.  Today will be much the same except we have the possibility of a shower later.  Last night was the coldest so far this season and we did have our first frost this morning.  I’m already seeing clouds moving in so it doesn’t look like we’ll…

A Little Sun For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

A Little Sun For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

After a cold and damp Saturday, our Sunday is shaping up quite nicely.  We only got a few drops of rain yesterday as most of the showers passed to our south and west.   It was cloudy all day however.  Overnight lows fell into the 30s although we still remain frost free for the season.  It doesn’t really matter because our gardens are done.  We should have a couple of dry days then showers are likely for most of this coming…

There was 0.47″ of rain in my gauge early this morning, and we have received another 0.17″ since then.  It doesn’t seem to be raining right now but radar shows more to come.  At least the temperatures are close to normal, and winds are light.  We should see some breaks in the rain and hopefully, it will diminish by later this afternoon. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 96%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from…

Another Rainy, Gloomy Day In Mid Michigan

Another Rainy, Gloomy Day In Mid Michigan

The rain began around 9AM and has continued since.  Yesterday was quite nice although the sun didn’t last much past noon.  But temperatures were mild and we even got some of the lawn mowed.  Next week is supposed to bring us a few dry days unless the forecast changes, which happens quite often. But it is what it is. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 92%, and winds are from the S at 1-5 mph.  The…

Finally, Some Sun – Mid Michigan

Finally, Some Sun – Mid Michigan

We never did get our sunshine yesterday.  It peeked out a couple of times for about 15 seconds, and that was it.  Someone once told me that the Lansing, MI area is one of the cloudiest places in the US, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that was true.  But we will celebrate our sun that we have today, even though it is only for one day.  Looking at our forecast for the remainder of the week, there is rain…

They Promised Us Some Sun Today – Mid Michigan

They Promised Us Some Sun Today – Mid Michigan

We have overcast skies once again but we should see a little sun later, if the local weather gurus are correct.  It shouldn’t be too bad of a day with fairly mild temps and light winds.  Seeing the sun would definitely make it more pleasant.  Yesterday brought us no rain but more is expected by Thursday.  We don’t need anymore for awhile but when does that matter? Our 11:30 AM temperature is 47°F (8°C), the humidity is 82%, and winds…

Another Gloomy Day – Mid Michigan

Another Gloomy Day – Mid Michigan

I doesn’t look like we will get much, if any sun today.  At least no rain is in our forecast, and tomorrow is supposed to be mostly sunny.  We did get some rain late yesterday and overnight, but only 0.15″ was in my gauge.  Our fall colors have been ruined by all this rain and we are mainly seeing dull yellow and brown.  The  hardwood trees are still mostly green, so I’m still hopeful that they will give us more…

A Little Sun For Our Sunday Morning – Mid Michigan

A Little Sun For Our Sunday Morning – Mid Michigan

After a cloudy, wet Saturday, we are blessed with a little sun this morning.  Skies are mostly cloudy but just enough breaks in the clouds to let us know that the sun is alive and well.  We had light rain most of Saturday which ended late in the afternoon.  We can expect more later today.  We were expecting strong winds yesterday which never happened.  It was breezy but we never did see gust up to 30 mph as we were…
