Wednesday, March 7, 2018 South West Michigan – Predicted Rain Became Snow

Currently 26 with a NNW wind of 12 mph dropping that down to feeling like 16 degrees. Dew Point 22, Humidity 84%, Barometer 29.81 & rising, Visibility 6 mi, Sunrise 7:07 am, Sunset 6:39 pm. Cloudy becoming windy. A few more snow flurries possible during the day. High 34.  NW winds 20 – 30.

30% chance of overnight snow flurries. Low 23. WNW winds 10 – 20 mph.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until about 1:00. We were expecting mostly rain during the night, however, sheer determination from Mother Nature insisting on that becoming snow. Measured 2″ on the ground and .12″ of melted down precipitation from the rain gauge this morning. The bottom layer of the gauge was hard ice, so it was evident that the rain started out as predicted, but the temperatures dropped turning that into something else as the night wore on.

Left my car out of my minuscule garage (seriously, barely room for a car) because I always take advantage of a free car wash when Mother Nature is going to provide the rain. Not quite as planned this time around. Fact is, I’m not going anywhere for the next few days, so as far as I’m concerned it can sit right there until that snow melts. As it will. Eventually.
