A Wet, Soggy Day . . . . .

A Wet, Soggy Day . . . . .

Rain moved in sometime overnight and has continued intermittently since then.  Radar is showing most of it pushing off to the east, so I don’t think that today will be a total washout.  Temperatures continue above average but fall to around where they should be by early next week.  Then by Christmas, the temps will be quite warm again, so no white Christmas for us this year. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 45°F (7°C), the humidity is 96%, and skies…

Rain On The Way For Our Weekend . . . . .

Rain On The Way For Our Weekend . . . . .

Our Saturday is beginning with cloudy skies but mild temperatures.   Normal temps will be back with us early next week, but then another bout of above average temperatures for the Christmas weekend.  This has been the pattern most of this year.  I’m not complaining, especially with what we dealt with last Christmas. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 46°F (8°C), the humidity is 63%, and winds are from the SE at 3-6 mph.  Our wind chill is 42°F (6°C) and the…

A Very Pleasant Friday . . . .

A Very Pleasant Friday . . . .

Today will be mostly sunny with highs near the record temperature.  Breezes are light, so not a bad day to be outdoors.  Yesterday was pretty windy, so it felt colder than what it actually was.  This is great weather considering that Christmas is only a week away.  I hope we don’t have to pay for this later, like in the spring. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 48%, and winds are from the SW at 5-9…

Continued Cold And Breezy . . . .

Continued Cold And Breezy . . . .

We have more clouds today than yesterday, and temperatures are a few degrees warmer, but with the wind, it doesn’t seem much nicer.  We are seeing the sun peek out a few times, but it has been mostly cloudy.  There hasn’t been any precipitation, and forecasts aren’t calling for any anytime soon.  Our December weather has really been nice. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 35°F (2°C), the humidity is 61%, and winds are from the SW at 3-8 mph.  The…

Our Coldest Day So Far . . . .

Our Coldest Day So Far . . . .

It feels downright frigid out there today.  Our high barely made it to the freezing mark, and the wind was brutal.  We are supposed to have milder temperatures closer to the holiday, and that’s fine with me.  A white Christmas doesn’t seem to be in the cards this year. Our 4:45 PM temperature is 32°F (0°C), the humidity is 63%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the west at 8-16 mph, gusting to 25 mph.  The wind chill is…

It Really Feels Like Winter . . . .

It Really Feels Like Winter . . . .

Temperatures will barely make it above freezing today and no sun either.  We did received a little rain overnight, barely over a trace, and some areas were reporting snow flurries.  If it happened here, I didn’t see it.  Since the weather isn’t very nice today, it’s a good day for putting up the Christmas tree.  That always makes the day seem more cheery and bright.    So many people decorate their homes anymore, and it’s nice to see with it…

Cloudy And Cold . . . . .

Cloudy And Cold . . . . .

After a record breaking warm day on Saturday,  today will be back to where it should be for this date.  It doesn’t look like we will be having anymore warm days for awhile, and snow is in our forecast for today.  One of the YouTube weather guys says that a polar vortex will be affecting us around Christmas.  It would be nice if it brought some snow as well.  A white Christmas is always nice. Our 11:15 AM temperature is…

A Little Rain For Our Friday . . . .

A Little Rain For Our Friday . . . .

Our chance for rain was very slight today, but we did have a quick passing shower earlier. The main issue today is the wind.  We are  under a wind advisory until 6 PM. Gusts as high as 40 mph are possible, so not the kind of day where one would want to be outdoors.  Highs are supposed to be in the  upper 50s, and our car thermometer showed 61°F (16°C) while we were at the store.  It didn’t last long…

More Cloudy Weather . . . .

More Cloudy Weather . . . .

Our day began with sun, but now skies have become overcast although no sign of any precipitation.  Also, temperatures are very mild, in the 50s.  So that alone makes for a pretty nice day.  More seasonable weather will come for our weekend and we could get some rain as well as gusty winds.  Next week will bring seasonable temperatures and mostly dry weather. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 52°F (11°C), the humidity is 69%, and skies are cloudy.  Winds are…

A Beautiful End To A Very Nice Day . . . . .

A Beautiful End To A Very Nice Day . . . . .

Today was about as nice as one can expect in December here in Michigan.  Highs reached the upper 40s and light winds.  It is ending with a lovely sunset  We had sun most of the day, so not the dreary weather that we are used to.  Tomorrow should also be quite nice, but maybe not as sunny as today.  I’m waiting to here about the possible storm that was predicted for early next week.  No update on that as yet….
