We had a winter mess late yesterday which began as rain, then changed to freezing rain and sleet, then snow on top of that. It only amounted to 1-2 inches of ground cover, but everything was a bit icy this morning. We had to go out shopping and the roads weren’t too bad by noon. Now the sun is out and there is quite a bit of melting happening, even though the temperatures aren’t that warm. Temps will be warming…
Today is a yucky day to say the least, but we aren’t getting severe weather like they are in the south. I’m happy for that. Instead, we are expecting freezing drizzle with some snow mixed in. All we have had so far is a little drizzle. At this time, it is doing nothing but we could see up to two inches of snow/ice later on. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 31°F, the humidity is 90%, and skies are overcast. Winds…
Yesterday broke some records for warmest day, but didn’t quite make it here. Our temperatures were in the mid 50s most of the day and even overnight. Now our temps are dropping and a wind advisory is in effect until 4 PM. Tomorrow looks to be a very stormy one, especially for the states south of us. As for us, we are expecting a mix of snow and ice. I had an appointment in Lansing which I cancelled. I don’t…
Today will be our final “nice weather” day with highs expected to reach the low to mid 50s, and sun at least half of our day. Clouds are expected to move in this afternoon, and portions of a winter storm will be affecting us tomorrow. There is a wind advisory for Wednesday. At this time, we are expected to get mostly rain, possibly mixed with sleet. Northern Michigan could receive all snow, even as much as a foot. Our 11:30…
We have been so fortunate this winter. Our weather has been fantastic for the most part. I know that snow lovers wouldn’t agree, but we oldsters can do without snow . . . . heavy snow anyway. Today will be much like yesterday but maybe not quite as warm. Temps made it into the low 50s yesterday which was a real treat. I’m still waiting for Mother Nature to give us what is due, but so far, most of the…
This is our second day of totally cloudless skies. How rare this is for Michigan in February. There is no precip in our forecast until Tuesday night, then another major storm is coming across the country. This is expected to bring the possibility of severe weather on Thursday for the south and Midwest states. At this time, Michigan seems to be on the northern edge but that can always change. All the states south of us are getting more winter…
There isn’t a cloud in the sky, temps should reach the mid 40s today, and no precip expected for the next several days. The only negative thing is the wind. It will be quite strong today, and will make it feel much cooler than we would like. At least we have the sun, and if we can stay out of the wind, it will be a very nice day. All the snow is gone except for a few resilient snowbanks…
All of our snow is gone except for a few spots where we shoveled. Mild temperatures and rain over the past two days took care of most of it. The southern parts of the state saw highs in the 50s yesterday, but we didn’t get nearly that warm. They also had very strong winds with some power outages, and we didn’t get that either. In fact, our winds are stronger today than they were yesterday. We are just now seeing…
We received 0.72 inches of rain so far and there is more on the way. Most of the snow is gone except for where the banks are, and a few low areas. Highs could reach near 50°F today although it has a way to go if it will get that warm. We are under a wind advisory for this afternoon until 7PM, but right now the wind is quite calm. The rain could change to snow by tonight, but we…
With the warm temps over the past 2 days, our snow cover has now dwindled to about 10%. With the rain expected tonight and tomorrow, that will probably take care of the rest of it. It feels like a spring day out there but clouds are are starting to move it. Substantial rainfall is expected over the next 24 hours but temperatures are expected to remain mild into the weekend. This was supposed to be a harsh winter for us; …
