Enjoying The End Of Our Warm Weather – Mid Michigan

Enjoying The End Of Our Warm Weather – Mid Michigan

Our day began with clear skies and sun.  Now clouds have moved in but temperatures will be well above average.  Today and tomorrow will probably be the end of warm days as a strong cold front will be knocking on our door.  We certainly can’t complain since our early autumn weather has been wonderful.  I’m not even seeing any significant rain anytime soon in our forecast. Our 1 PM temperature is 68°F, the humidity is 37%, and skies are cloudy. …

Another Perfect Day In Mid Michigan

Another Perfect Day In Mid Michigan

We have yet another beautiful October day with temps in the low 70s, clear skies, and a light breeze.  It just couldn’t be any nicer.  There is no mention of rain until Thursday, and then just a chance.  We have had frost the past two nights but none of my remaining plants seem to be affected.  We aren’t expecting any more low temps in the 30s until possibly Friday. Our 4:30 PM temp is 73°F, the humidity is 16%, and…

Frost On The Pumpkin This Morning – Mid Michigan

Frost On The Pumpkin This Morning – Mid Michigan

Temperatures fell into the low 30s overnight, and everything was covered in frost this morning.  I moved my hanging plants close to the house and they seem to have survived.  We were under a frost advisory until 9:00 this morning.  Now our temperatures have recovered nicely and highs should reach the mid 60s this afternoon.  It looks like it will be a very nice day. Our 11:45 AM temperature is 60F, the humidity is 57% and the dew point is…

Sunny And Breezy In Mid Michigan

Sunny And Breezy In Mid Michigan

Today is sunny but cooler than yesterday.  We also have a fairly strong breeze which keeps it feeling uncomfortably chilly if you aren’t wearing a jacket.  This weather is expected to continue until the latter part of the week.  Then we should really start feeling like autumn.  Temperatures will struggle to reach 50°F by next weekend.  We are seeing more colors developing on bushes and trees, and against the blue sky, it’s peaceful.  Just received a message that we have…

More Beautiful Weather In Mid Michigan

October couldn’t have come in any better than it did.  We could see highs near 70F today but winds are expected to be quite brisk.  This weather will probably only last another week or so as I’m seeing highs only in the 40s two weeks from now.  I guess we have to expect that as autumn moves on.  Our Fall season has been wonderful this year, so we really shouldn’t complain. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 66F, the humidity is…

A Beautiful Day In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Day In Mid Michigan

Our weather is shaping up to be a great start for the first of October.  We are getting into the frost season and it won’t be long until the summer flowers will all be gone.  My Mums are all open and will resist the frost as will the roses.  Once they’re gone, then it will be snow season.  I’m not looking forward to that but I am looking forward to being back on standard time.  My body has never adjusted…

Fair Weather For Mid Michigan

Fair Weather For Mid Michigan

Yesterday was dreary and cold.  It really set the mood for following Hurricane Ian on YouTube, riding along with the storm chasers.  I have many relatives and friends in Florida and I’m still concerned for those that I haven’t heard from yet.  Unfortunately, some are in the Fort Myers area.  My sister/brother-in-law who owns and runs the cabins in Cheboygan, were very concerned about their home in New Port Richey, and their daughter who lives in Tampa.  It was big…

Another Rainy Day In Mid Michigan

Another Rainy Day In Mid Michigan

We had intermittent rain showers yesterday which produced 0.18″ of rain.  Today is turning out to be much the same.  We did start the day with some sun, but it didn’t last long.  Temperatures are a little cooler today with highs only reaching the mid 50s.  We’re making up for those above-average temps that we had most of September.  I’ve been watching coverage of Hurricane Ian as it moves closer to the west coast of Florida.  I have quite a…

Really Feels Like Fall Today – Mid Michigan

Really Feels Like Fall Today – Mid Michigan

Temperatures aren’t expected to even reach 60F today, and this will continue for the next 3 days.  At least we don’t have to worry about a hurricane, although some weather gurus are saying that it could head in our direction later on.  I’m feeling anxious for the people in Florida right now.  My In-laws, who have the cabins in Cheboygan, live just north of Tampa and they are getting ready to close the cabins for the year and head back…

Wet, Cloudy And Chilly For Our Beginning Of Autumn – Mid Michigan

Wet, Cloudy And Chilly For Our Beginning Of Autumn – Mid Michigan

It’s as if Mother Nature decided that now that summer is officially over, we should be getting fall weather.  No more warm temperatures for us!  We went from AC weather to running the furnace almost overnight.  Local forecasters are even telling us that they don’t see any warmth coming anytime soon.  So I guess it’s time to brace ourselves for what we know is coming.  I’m still hoping for some nice, sunny days, even if we have to wear jackets. …
