It didn’t take long for the Halloween snow to disappear. There was just a trace this morning but even that is gone now. If not for the wind, today would have been very pleasant. At least we saw quite a bit of sun and that helped to make it feel warmer. Sun also helps to brighten our moods with these darker days of autumn. Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend and that makes me happy. I personally hate it. Our…
We had heavy to moderate snowfall yesterday that lasted a few hours. When it finally stopped, there was 1.8″ on my deck. I don’t ever remember having this much snow on Halloween. This morning feels more like January that the first of November, but temps are expected to rise into the low 40s, so the snow should be short-lived. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 26°F (-3°C), the humidity is 94%, and skies are clear. Winds are calm and the dew…
We had our first wintry precipitation yesterday. It was graupel. Some areas reported snow flurries but I didn’t see any; but I definitely had graupel hitting my windshield as I was driving. It didn’t last long and melted on contact. We are promised to see some snow today, mainly this afternoon, although no accumulations are expected. Not a good forecast for the kids tonight. Our 12 noon temperature is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 67%, and skies are cloudy. Winds…
I’m seeing where northern lower Michigan has about one inch of snow cover. As for us, we had a graupel shower while I was out this morning. It didn’t last long but it happened. It is mostly cloudy but the sun has peeked through a few times. Tomorrow is the day when we could see our first snowfall. One weather site is saying that we could get between a trace to an inch of snow cover. I’m not ready to…
The only bright thing about today is my lovely yellow maple tree. It always hangs onto it’s leaves longer than most others, and gives us something brilliant about an otherwise gloomy day. Temperatures aren’t even expected to reach into the 50s today and it feels like November. The wind and rain has stripped most leaves off the trees, but most of the hardwoods retain some. I’m hearing that the UP had some snow overnight and we could see some flurries…
A cloudy morning became a partly cloudy afternoon. Although it is quite chilly, the sun makes it seem more pleasant. Today is the first of what appears to be a lengthy stretch of cool weather. I’m not seeing any above normal temps in the upcoming days. We were a bit spoiled by those that we had, but now it’s time to go back to reality. Our 2:45 PM temperature is 51°F (11°C), the humidity is 62%, and skies are partly…
Today is really quite nice. It is warm enough to go out without a jacket and we are seeing the sun often. Can’t complain at all. We do have a chance for some rain but it’s been dry so far. It is a bit breezy but a nice day to have the windows open. In fact, this may be our last. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 73%, and skies are mostly cloudy. Winds are from…
We received a little over an inch of rain yesterday and last night. The rain is continuing this morning but it is not expected to last all day. At least that’s what the forecast says. Looking at the radar, however, I think it will be an all day event. The temperatures are supposed to be mild. Next week is expected to really feel like fall, with temps on few days not expected to make it out of the 30s. That…
Yesterday was wonderful. We had sunny skies with just a few thin clouds occasionally. Temperatures made it into the upper 70s. We sat out on the deck last night and temperatures remained in the 70s until late. There was even a bright moon to set the ambiance. What a great day for the end of October!. But as expected, we have some very cold air approaching and we could even see our first snow flurries. Rain is showing on the…
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…
