Fog And Rain For Our Tuesday . . . . .

Our weather today is wet but mild.  We had the possibility of freezing rain this morning, but it didn’t happen.  We lost quite a bit of snow yesterday and the next three days are expected to be thaw days.  It’s always nice to get rid of old snow before more falls. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 35°F, the humidity is 94%, and skies are cloudy with light rain,.  Winds are from the ESE at 2-4 mph, and the pressure is…

A Slight Thaw Day . . . .

A Slight Thaw Day . . . .

It isn’t much, but we can see the snow on the deck melting very slowly.  We’ll see even more on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as our high temps reach from 10-20 degrees above average.  There is still about 3 inches on the ground and I’m sure that we’ll see more snow before winter is done.  It’s nice to have a reprieve from time to time however. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 36°F, the humidity is 66%, and winds are from…

A Little Sun But Not Much Warmth . . . . .

A Little Sun But Not Much Warmth . . . . .

We have partly cloudy skies this afternoon and a snow cover of about 3 inches.  We had snow showers yesterday which gave us another inch.  This morning brought some light flurries which didn’t add much to our snow cover.  At least the sun makes it brighter but it is still very cold. Our 2 PM temperature is 22°F, the humidity is 65% and winds are from the west at 5-10 mph, and the pressure is 29.70 in and steady.,  The…

More Cold And Snow For Our New Years Day . . . .

After receiving another couple of inches of snow yesterday, today our temperatures are much colder.  We did have a little sun earlier, but now clouds have become dominate.  Highs were supposed to reach the low 20s today but I don’t think it will make it.  We now have snow cover of three inches once again. Our 3:30 temperature is 19°F, the humidity is 67% , and winds are from the west at 5-14 mph.  The pressure is 29.72 in and…

More Snow And Blustery Conditions . . . .

Today was very cold and windy, but not as bad as yesterday.  Our top wind gust yesterday was 56 mph.  This cold air will be with us until at least Monday, but the little warmup that we get won’t last long.  This has been a real winter for us, and I’m ready for it to end.  I don’t mind the snow as much as these cold temperatures.  Yesterday brought scattered, lake effect snow, and we had the same today, just…

Cold, Snowy And A Wind Advisory . . . .

After a lovely 53 degrees yesterday,  the cold front moved in late yesterday, dropping the temperatures 15 degrees in about 45 minutes.  We had rain all day and some showers were quite heavy.  There was 1.49″ in my rain gauge at 8 AM, and snow began shortly after.  We now have about an inch on the ground with a lot of blowing, and snow squalls continue.  After a high wind warning early today, it has now decreased to a wind…

A Dark, Dreary Day Ahead Of Another Strong Cold Front . . . . .

A Dark, Dreary Day Ahead Of Another Strong Cold Front . . . . .

Today will be on the mild side, ahead of a strong cold air mass which will affect our weather for the next week.  Tomorrow will be the worst with very strong sustained winds and gusts as high as 60 mph.  Today will be rainy with the possibilities of some thunder.  In fact, we heard a little thunder yesterday with the rain, but it was off in the distance.  Some storm chasers reported hail between Owosso and Chesaning.  We received almost…

Early Morning Ice Storm . . . .

Early Morning Ice Storm . . . .

This morning is dark and dreary with freezing rain.  There’s a thin layer of ice on the trees, bushes and my deck.  Temperatures will be on the rise so it isn’t expected to be long lasting, and hopefully the ice will melt very soon. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 32°F, the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast with rain, although I think most has stopped  for now.  Winds are from the S at 1-4 mph and the pressure is…

Merry Christmas From Mid Michigan

Merry Christmas From Mid Michigan

Our Christmas Day has cloudy skies and temperatures about where they should be for this date.  We have no precip and winds are light.  Freezing rain is in the forecast for tomorrow morning, so I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere.  I hope no one gets what northern Michigan got last March.  Freezing rain is far worse than a blizzard. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 35°F. the humidity is 73%, and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the NE…
