So…after a semi black week…let’s face it it’s become almost a pewter gray Monday, a steel gray Tuesday, a charcoal gray Wednesday – Thanksgiving – then supposedly a black Friday. Honestly, the day after sales used to be fun after a holiday. They were. But then I’m talking decades ago, back when people were civilized and just went to catch a bargain or two. Now they’re cut-throat raiders. I wouldn’t try one these days without full body armor and a body guard. It’s insane.

On a more civil vein, I hope you all had a grand Thanksgiving Day full of food and gratitude.

Thanksgiving Day is gray and gloomy here but once the tables are set for that scrumptious turkey dinner, things will brighten up immensely. Take a moment today to give thanks for everything, big or small. There’s so many things to be grateful for. Even gloomy days like this…at least it isn’t snowing. For that I give great thanks.

Been blowing rain around all morning and it’s a cloudy mess, but so far it’s now offering any snow to us. And we’d like to keep it that way. Way too much for most people to be doing this day before a holiday. And we’re keeping our fingers crossed that tomorrow, the big travel day, remains road-safe.

Currently 38 with an average wind from the S of 7 mph. Feels like 33 degrees. Dew Point 37, Humidity 98%, Barometer 29.63 & rising, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:46 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

No precipitation forecast for today, or tomorrow for that matter. About Wednesday and again next weekend. Fair enough. Sounds as if Thanksgiving day will be mild and easy traveling here in SW Michigan. We’ve had plenty of them where that wasn’t the case. No telling at this point what Christmas may bring, but this holiday will provide safe roads. We’ll take them one at a time. Good enough.

Currently 44 with an average wind from the SW of 15 mph. Feels like 37 degrees. Dew Point 35, Humidity 71%, Barometer 29.61 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 5:11 pm.

I see the wind down here on the surface is around 15 mph but way up there where the clouds are living, it has to be mighty windy. Those clouds are really moving fast. Glad it’s up there and not down here. We’ve had quite enough of the wind lately. Enjoying this nice spate of pleasant unusual November weather. Just seeing the sun would be good enough but these mild temperatures make it all even better. Absolutely nothing to complain about right now…well, beyond the fact that we’re heading into my least favorite season, Winter, and not my favorite, Spring. But other than that…

Currently 32 with an average wind from the S of 7 mph. Feels like 26 degrees. Dew Point 30, Humidity 90%, Barometer 29.89 & falling, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:44 am, Sunset 5:11 pm.

A few overnight clouds. Low 30. WSW winds 5 -10 mph.

A nice mild day, the first half of a pleasant late November weekend. We are in a mild weather pattern right now that is both surprising and welcome. We are all well aware, here in Michigan, that when the bottom falls out on this pleasantness, and it will, things are going to get Winter ugly. Fingers crossed that this holds off for as long as possible. At any rate, for today we’ll get busy and do some last minute outdoor tasks so that when Spring arrives, eventually and hopefully inevitably, things will look tidy and neat.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the NW of 10 mph. Feels like 22 degrees. Dew Point 21, Humidity 66%, Barometer 30.12 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:43 am, Sunset 5:12 pm.

A cloudy morning should give way to a partly cloudy afternoon. High 35=6. WNW winds 10 -15 mph.

Mostly clear overnight skies. Low 21. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Yesterday was another blustery day that brought tons of more leaves into my tiny backyard area. It would be nice if they could lay where they are and not be shifted around anymore this year. And since we got rain yesterday along with the wind, it was all wet leaves I had to tackle this morning. Looking around, there are a lot more leaves littered along the back of this townhouse complex and since I’m the only one here who uses the little back yard for a little back yard, they all seem to end up down in my area where I have to deal with them. I guess that’s the price I pay for being able to sit and relax back there, feed the birds and squirrels and enjoy myself. But I really have had enough of leaf raking for the year. Really I have.

Currently 44 with an average wind from the S of 17 mph. Feels like 36 degrees. Dew Point 42, Humidity 93%, Barometer 29.80 & falling, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:41 am, Sunset 5:13 pm.

Cloudy. Low near 30. WNW winds 15 – 25 mph. Higher gusts possible.

Okay. A dandy day to stay in and tend to indoor activities. Wet and windy out there this morning. And it’s going to remain that way right on through to tonight…and even then, the wind intends to hang around through the night. Again, all I can say is at least it isn’t snowing. So all’s well in my little corner of the world.

Currently 40 with an average wind from the SSW of 5 mph. Feels like 36. Dew Point 36, Humidity 86%, Barometer 30.19 & rising, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:40 am, Sunset 5:14 pm.

Not much out there today but gray. At least no rain or snow, but most definitely no sunshine either.
