Cold And Windy . . . .

Cold And Windy . . . .

Today will be cold and no relief is sight.  We have about 1.5″ of snow cover at this time. The winter storm expected early next week will remain well to our south, so no problems for us expected from that one.  There are no temps above freezing expected for us anytime soon, so guess we may as well get used to what we have. Our 2 PM temp is 22°F, the humidity is 72%, and winds are from the W…

Really Feels Like January . . . .

Really Feels Like January . . . .

The deep freeze is upon us.  Yesterday saw no thawing and we won’t see it today either.  In fact, I don’t expect any melting for at least a few weeks.  The big snow storm is still coming but will remain well to our south.  It seems that Kentucky and Tennessee will get the brunt of it.  Snow lovers will be disappointed. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 23°F (-5°C), the humidity is 91%, and skies are cloudy but I see the…

Back In The Deep Freeze . . . .

Back In The Deep Freeze . . . .

We had a few snow showers yesterday, but not enough to really add to the ground cover.  I guess I’d call it a trace of snow.  We had a little melting, but that’s not going to happen today.  We can still expect a few snow showers through the weekend, then no precip in the forecast through next Wednesday. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 26°F (-3°C), the humidity is 80%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the west at 6-11…

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

We woke to a white world this morning.  We had a mix of snow and rain most of yesterday which left us with 2 inches of slush or an icy mix of snow and ice, which ever you prefer.  We have snow flurries once again this morning but not enough to accumulate.  A follow-up on the storm expected Monday, from what I’ve seen, it looks like most of it will remain to our south, but still too early to give…

A Little Sun Following A Day Of Rain . . . .

A Little Sun Following A Day Of Rain . . . .

After a day and night of constant rain, today we have the sun trying to make an appearance.  Yesterday’s precip amount was 1.33 inches.  It rained all day, then switched to wet snow late last night.  It was covering my deck when I went to bed, and I expected to see an all white ground cover this morning.  There was no snow remaining.  We will start losing our warm temperatures after today, and very cold temps will be with us…

Another Rainy, Dreary Day . . . .

Another Rainy, Dreary Day . . . .

After yesterday’s spring-like weather, today ushers in more winter for us.  It will take a few days to feel the brunt of it, but we know it’s coming.  I’m hearing that we should be prepared for a snowy January, and I’m happy that I don’t have to travel somewhere every day in it.  As for today, I expect that it will be very wet but continued mild. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 43°F, the humidity is 97%, and skies are…

Springlike Weather . . . .

Springlike Weather . . . .

Although our temperatures are very warm for this date, the day is gloomy and quite windy.  It feels like a day in March instead of December.  But it won’t last long as another round of frigid weather will be upon us soon.  This is typical for Michigan in winter.  Our coldest, stormiest days usually happen in January and February, so we better enjoy today. Our 12 Noon temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 77%, and skies are overcast.  Winds…

Feels Like Spring . . . .

Feels Like Spring . . . .

It is very mild today and quite pleasant to be outdoors.  We do have a chance for rain later, but no precip at this time.  There was a bit of drizzle yesterday which left  0.02″ in my gauge, and tomorrow could be wet as well.  Early next week is expected to be on the warm side right through New Years Day.  I’m hearing that January is expected to be a snowy month.  We’ll see how that works out. Our 12:15…
