Murphy's Weather

Currently 19 with a N wind of 8 mph making it feel like 9 degrees. Dew Point 10, Barometer 30.17 & rising, Humidity 67%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 6:17 pm. Sunshine and clouds mix, some morning snow flurries. High near 25. NNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy to clear overnight, low 0. N winds 5 -10 mph.

Right now a nice blue ski and watching clumps of overnight snow fall, in fact got hit with several of them going out to feed the critters this morning. Pretty to watch, but so sick of snow. It just keeps keeping on. Sounds like this is the best of the week, right here, cold or not. I guess we have to enjoy the bits we get that are even close to being enjoyable in February in Michigan.

Currently 21 with an E wind of 13 mph making it feel like 9 degrees. Dew Point 16, Barometer 30.04 & falling, Humidity 78%, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 7:36 am, Sunset 6:15 pm. 100% chance of snow today. 1-3″ expected. High 24. ENE wind 10-20mph.

60% chance of overnight snow. Low 13. NE winds 10 -15 mph.

Light snow falling and it seems like this will be what we see most of the day.  Looks, right now, as if 3″ is a distinct possibility. Oh well…we’re in the middle of February and nothing from here on will seem all that bad because it will soon be March and…March could be nice. Fingers crossed on that, but after the January and February we’ve gone through I think we deserve a decent March. We’ll see how fair Mother Nature can be.

Currently 22 with a NNE wind of 6 mph making it feel like 14 degrees. Dew Point 14, Barometer 30.16 & rising, Humidity 72%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 6:14 pm. Cloudy to partly cloudy today, high 26. NNE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy to cloudy overnight, low 12, E winds 5 -10 mph.

Nothing much going on out there today, which is good. Doesn’t appear any new snow is taking aim at us for the moment. A chance for roads to be better to drive one and the cold isn’t so fierce that getting out there to travel won’t be so miserable. For mid February, this is not a bad little stretch of weather. We’ll take it and happily. Could be so much worse.

Currently 18 with a W winds of 17 mph making it feel like 3 degrees. Dew Point 12, Barometer 29.76 & rising, Humidity 76%, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 7:39 am, Sunset 6:13 pm. Cloudy with a 90% chance of morning snow showers, high 21. W winds 15 -25 mph.

Some overnight clouds, low 11. NW winds 10 -1 5 mph.

Still cold, still snowing, still winter. Pretty much sums it all up in my little corner of the world.

Currently 30 with a SE wind of 8 mph making it feel like 22 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 29.74 & falling, Humidity 79%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:41 am, Sunset 6:11 pm. Partly cloudy morning will become cloudy afternoon with a slight chance of afternoon rain. High near 40. S winds 5 -10 mph.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of rain/snow. Low 19. WSW winds 15 -25 mph.

Well, today is a bit different. Perhaps some of the snow pack will melt, which will be nice. Back to the cold tonight/tomorrow so I’m afraid all of that melt will quickly become icy surfaces for walking, driving. Such is the way our weather is going. February can’t vacate the premises soon enough.

Currently 23 with an average wind from the W of 20 mph making it feel like 8 degrees. Dew Point 18, Humidity 81%, Barometer 29.78 & rising, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 7:42 am, Sunset 6:10 pm. Windy today with snow showers. High 24. W winds 20 – 30 mph with higher gusts possible.

Partly cloudy tonight, low 18. SS Winds 10 – 15 mph.

Getting harder to make myself get out in the morning, wade out and clear a square to scatter the bird seed and peanuts. I have to, I know this, ’cause there sure is nothing for those critters to find to eat beyond what some folks like me are providing. So I do it. But getting to be grudgingly and that’s not nice. I’m just so tired of the wind and the snow and the cold and… Alas…I imagine the critters are even more tired of it. After all, they have to live out in it, which is a miserable thought. We’re all waiting for spring.

Currently 24 with an ENE wind of 14 mph making it feel like 12 degrees. Dew Point 23, Humidity 93%, Barometer 29.61 & falling, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:43 am, Sunset 6:09 pm. Cloudy with a 100% chance of more snow. 1-3″ expected. Some sleet or freezing rain possible. High 32. E winds 10 -20 mph.

80% chance of overnight snow. 1-3″ expected. Low 121. W winds 15-25.

We did get 5″ of fluffy overnight snow from Winter Storm Maya and evidently lingering chances for more continue to hang around. It’s not bitter cold out there, but it is getting tiresome, seeing only white everywhere. Maybe it would be more acceptable if snow came in colors – maybe blue or green or pink. Plaid would be pretty. I don’t know, I think I’m getting goofy from being home-bound too long. What ever. Getting toward the middle of February and Spring will be just around the corner…granted a snow packed corner, but still…

Currently 22 with an average wind from the ENE of 11 mph making it feel like 11 degrees. Dew Point 19, Humidity 85%, Barometer 30.27 & rising, Visibility 9 mi, Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 6:07 pm. Cloudy today, high 31. E winds 10-20 mph.

Tonight – Winter Weather Advisory in place until Wednesday. Windy. Sleet/freezing rain/100% chance of snow. 3-5″ of snow expected. Low 26. E winds 20 – 30 mph.

Bracing for yet another storm to blow in and make life more miserable that usual. It’s been non-stop. We are paying dearly for the mild November/December. As it stands most would agree it would be a much better plan to even it out and have an equal share of misery every unfortunate month from November right on through than to have it all lumped together in January/February. Not that we have much choice or say in the matter, but if we did…things  would not be as tough as they’ve been lately. At any rate, Winter Storm Maya seems to be barreling toward us, paying a visit starting this evening right on through Wednesday morning. Swell.

Currently 22 with an E wind of 10 mph making it feel like 11 degrees. Dew Point 14, Humidity 71%, Barometer 30.50 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:46am, Sunset 6:06 pm. Cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers, high 25. E winds 10 – 15 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a 50% chance of snow showers. Low 20. E winds 10-15 mph.

Nothing much going on so far today. It’s comforting to say that. It’s cold, but then it’s been cold, it seems like, for so long that there’s nothing unusual about that. An ugly rumor that perhaps Tuesday will bring about another ice storm, but we’re all hoping that comes to naught. Too many yards, too many downed trees, remaining from the last one to even think about it happening again. Just one big misery of a winter!

Currently 9 with an average wind from the NNW of 2 mph. Feels like 9 degrees. Dew Point 4, Humidity 79%, Barometer 30.88 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:47 am, Sunset 6:05 pm. Partly cloudy today. High 22. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy overnight, low 11. Light and variable winds.

Well, after pulling through the wicked Polar Vortex, Mother Nature figured we hadn’t suffered enough so she sent along ice storms for us to try to survive. We did. Not without roaring treetop winds of more than 40 mph, power outages, travel restrictions – in other words another prime example of why winter is one miserable season not fit for man nor beast.

Right now the sun is shining. It’s cold, make no mistake, but the sun is actually shining. This in itself seems to be a minor miracle. Lots of people still without power/heat/TV/Internet. Hats off to all the hard working folk who work out in the weather we have to endure to restore our utilities – those precious utilities that we so take for granted until they’re gone. This winter can’t go away fast enough!
