So happy we aren’t getting any of the Nor’Easter – the 4th in the past month – that’s going on along the East Coast. It’s March, for crying out loud. I see the on-air meteorologists on the Weather Channel getting ecstatic about the snow, but far as I know, they’re the only ones. I realize that even here we aren’t beyond the realm of possibility for additional snow, we’ve had snow in March, even April, but enough already. It seems as if we’ve had a tremendous amount of snow this year but in actuality, we’ve had about 72″ in Grand Rapids, which is about average. Don’t know why it seems like so much more, but it does. Perhaps, and likely, because we had such a wonderful snowless month of February and so the snow fell, at least a bit of it, almost daily the rest of the winter. Whatever the reason, we feel like we’ve had more than our share and will gladly forgo any additional snowy ‘fun’.

Currently 26 with an average NE wind of 16 mph dropping that to feeling like 14 degrees. Dew Point 16, Humidity 65%, Barometer 29.98, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 7:54 pm. Mix of sun and clouds, high 39. ENE winds 15 – 25 mph.

Partly to completely cloudy tonight, low 24. NE winds 10 -20 mph.

Not a bad little first day of Spring. Going to have at least some sunshine and although it’s on the cool side, it’s not snowing. That’s an enormous plus right there. From now on it’s only going to get better. Heading into my favorite two seasons and I’m thrilled.

Currently 33 with an ENE wind of 13 mph dropping that down to feeling like 24 degrees. Dew Point 20, Humidity 58%, Barometer 30.04 & rising, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:47 am, Sunset 7:53 pm. Partly cloudy today with a high of 42. ENE winds 10 – 20 mph.

Mostly clear tonight. Low 22. ENE winds 10 -20 mph.

Nothing spectacular going on here today. No alerts, warnings, cautions…simply a day. The closest it gets to being special is that it’s the last official day of winter with spring ready to begin tomorrow. Good enough.

Currently 40 with an average wind of WSW wind of 10 mph dropping that down to 34. Dew Point 22, Humidity 48%, Barometer 30.07 & rising, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:48 am, Sunset 7:52 pm. Plenty of sunshine, high of 53. W winds 10 – 15 mph.

Mostly clear skies with only a few passing clouds, low 27. NW winds shifting to ENE 10 – 15 mph.

A super sunny day. Even a bit more warmth. Not up there where I’d like it to be, but better than it’s been. A Sunday for being out and about and doing whatever sounds like it’s the best for the day. I’ll be looking for Robins – nary a one of which I’ve seen yet.

The coming week looks to be heading toward clear skies and we’ll see where it ends up. So far, so good.

Currently 26 with a N wind of 8 mph dragging that down to feeling like 17 degrees. Dew Point 13, Humidity 58%, Barometer 30.19 & rising, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:52 am, Sunset 7:49 pm. Mostly sunny today with a high of 39. NW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low of 24. NNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

So happy to see the sunshine today. The temperature might not be heading up too high, but the sunshine makes it all feel so much better. We’ll take it!

Currently 29 with a WNW wind of 10 mph dropping that down to feeling like 20 degrees. Dew Point 22, Humidity 76%, Barometer 29.82 & rising, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 7:48 pm. Mostly cloudy with the possibility of snow flurries. High 39. NW winds 15 – 25 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight, low 20. NNW winds 10 -20 mph.

Well, not much of an improvement yet, but it’s coming. Has to be. Eventually I’ll be able to write about the warm temperatures, soft breezes and sunshine. I have faith. Although….the next Nor’Easter coming into the East Coast, with all probability next week, shows in some scenarios that that misery – snow – is going to push on over into Michigan. It’s a wait and see thing, of course, but am most fervently hoping that proves to be wrong. Alas….

Currently 26 with WNW winds of 10 mph dropping that to feeling like 16 degrees. Dew Point 15, Humidity 64%, Barometer 30.16 & falling, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:55am, Sunset 7:47 pm. Cloudy with a few peeks at the afternoon sun. High 38. W winds 10 – 20 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low of 27 degrees. WNW winds 10 – 15 mph.

So…there is still a chance of snow flurries popping in and out today and tomorrow. No kidding, it just won’t go away and stay away. And I realize after what they’re going through on the East Coast I shouldn’t even think of complaining – yet here I am, complaining. All I want is Spring. Sunshine. Warmth. The chance to sit outside and drink some coffee or tea. I don’t think I’ve ever spend a month of March moaning and groaning so much about the weather. I’m sick of the weather. I’m sick of me being sick of the weather.

One of these days I will be able to say there won’t be any more snow here until next winter. And I’ll be so happy to be able to say that. Speaking of the East Coast, I am seeing there is a very good chance that they will have the 4th Nor’Easter coming in late next week. Seriously. I don’t think I’d be able to stand it. I’m pretty sure I’d be packing up and moving…lord knows I’m tempted to do that here.

I so hate winter weather :<(

Currently 27 with an average NNW wind of 11 mph dropping that down to feeling like 17 degrees. Dew Point 21, Humidity 77%, Barometer 30.11 & rising, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 7:46 pm. Cloudy with a few snow flurries possible. High 32. NNW winds 10 -20 mph.

Cloudy tonight with a few snow showers likely. Low 21. NNW winds 10 -20 mph.

In all honesty, I am so sick of winter weather, now, cold….wasn’t it Thumper in the old Bambi movie who said, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.”?  I think so. So I’m not saying anything at all.

Currently 31 with a WNW wind of 8 mph dropping that to feeling like 23 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 93%, Barometer 30.03 & falling, Visibility 4 mi, Sunrise 7:59 am, Sunset 7:45 pm.  60% chance of snow showers, high 39. NW winds 10 -20 mph.

Partly cloudy with the possibility of snow flurries. Low 24. NW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Frankly just sick and tired of cold and snow. A couple of fairly decent days come our way and then back comes the snow, slippery roads and colder temperatures. Which is what we have today. Tiresome at best. Should be back into the lower 40s by next week, but that’s then, this is now.
