Partly cloudy and windy this evening. Clouds to diminishing winds later. Low 23. WSW winds 20-30 mph with higher gusts possible.

The sturdy winds moving through tonight, rather than issuing in colder weather, will be bringing along much warmer numbers than we’ve been experiencing. No complaints about that from most of us. It’s been brutal cold the past few days. And it’s not that it isn’t going to be cold, but it isn’t going to be bone chilling cold. Big difference. Huge. So just be happy about our slight warm-up. I know I sure am.

Currently 11 with an average wind from the W of 15 mph. Feels like -5. Dew Point 4, Humidity 71%, Barometer 30.42 & rising, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8;13 am, Sunset 5:26 pm.

Cloudy with a few snow flurries possible today. High 13. W winds 10-15 mph.

Some overnight clouds. Low -2. WSW winds 5- 10 mph.

Hang in there. Not going to warm up much today and certainly not tonight, but tomorrow the numbers start to climb a bit. Not to balmy by any means, but much better than today and tonight. I don’t see another blast of arctic air aimed at us any time real soon. Not that it won’t happen again this winter, but for the next week or so we seem to be safe. Just be careful out there in temperatures like we have today. Doesn’t take to long to get into real trouble if you aren’t.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the W of 17 mph. Feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 24, Humidity 81%, Barometer 30.11 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8;13 am, Sunset 5:25 pm.

Partly to mostly cloudy today with a slight chance of some snow showers. High today 31 falling to near 15 as the day progresses. WNW winds 20-30 mph with higher gusts likely.

Cloudy tonight with a few snow flurries possible. Low near 10. WNW winds 10-15 mph.

The temperature we’re waking up to this morning is as good as it ‘s going to get. The temperature is going to fall all day long ending in a pretty chilly night. Tomorrow will be plain old cold and tomorrow night even more so. Tuesday is going to be brutal, too, but after that the numbers will climb a bit. Just need to bundle up and get through this frigid blast.

Currently 16 with an average wind from the SE of 13 mph. Feels like 2 degrees. Dew Point 8, Humidity 68%, Barometer 30.34 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:24 pm.

Mostly sunny with a mix of sun and clouds later. High near 28. S winds 10-20 mph.

60% chance of overnight freezing drizzle. Low mid 20s. S winds 10-15 mph becoming W.

Roads could get ugly and dangerous tonight and early tomorrow morning. As bad as being dumped on by snow is, freezing drizzle – ice – is much worse. Bitter cold is scheduled to set in late Sunday and through Monday. Will all of this miserable winter weather, just be careful, be cautious and stay safe and as warm as possible.

Currently 2 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like 2 degrees. Dew Point 2, Humidity 100%, Barometer 30.24 & rising, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:23 pm.

Partly cloudy with a low of 9 degrees. SSE winds 10-15 mph.

Good thing there’s some sunshine out there this morning. We have at least the illusion of warmth. And that’s all we have because it’s just plain brutal cold. And as chilly as this is, it sounds as if next Monday is going to be even more so. So prepare to be bundled up to the teeth if you must be outside. Hopefully no more heavy snowfall in our immediate picture. I measured almost 9″ from this past one. That’s a lot of snow.

Currently 23 with an average wind from the W of 9 mph. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 18, Humidity 79%, Barometer 29.97, Visibility 1.8 miles, Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:22 pm.

Partly cloudy overnight with a 40% chance of snow showers. Low 5-10 above. NW winds 5- 10 mph.

I measured 8″ of snow from this current storm. A bit more to come but the majority of it is already with us. We will be getting a bit more of course. I hope not too much. Even though this isn’t a heavy snow, my back is already reminding me that shoveling the small skating rink size space for feeding the birds and critters probably isn’t my best sport. Alas…

And the cold temperatures are with us. Next Monday sounds brutal, so the secret to survival appears to be keeping warm. Do your best.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the SW of 20 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 93%, Barometer 29.46, Visibility 0.91 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:21 pm.

The snow started in light this morning but I see it’s picking up now. Hard to tell how much snow we will get in my little backyard area. The weather maps appear to have this storm hitting the hardest along the Michigan Lake shore. The highest wind gusts along that line, too. However, the rest of us won’t be let off the hook. A little less snow, a little less wind, but we’ll probably get plenty of both for sure. Driving will become ugly as this progresses, so if you can stay off the roads, more the better. If not, be cautious. Stay safe.

Currently 15 with an average wind from the SE of 4 mph. Feels like 10 degrees. Dew Point 12, Humidity 85%, Barometer 30.33, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:19 pm.

Sun and clouds today. High 29. SW winds 10-20 mph.

A few passing overnight clouds. Low 19. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Okay, so it’s cold. But at least it isn’t snowing or drizzling freezing stuff. This is probably as good as it gets in a Michigan January. Just seeing some sunshine is a wonder. Look for some snow about mid-week. Sounds like perhaps a bunch over by the lake shore but maybe not so much around my little back yard. A couple more inches? We’ll see how it goes. But the cold will definitely be hanging around.

Currently 16 with an average wind from the N of 8 mph. Feels like 6 degrees. Dew point 8, Humidity 71%, Barometer 30.11, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:18 pm.

Cloudy early becoming partly cloudy in the afternoon. A few snow flurries are possible. High 26. N winds 10-15 mph.

Some overnight clouds. Low 13. Light and variable winds.

I got 4″ of snow overnight in my little backyard so Winter Storm Frida didn’t totally miss us. As predicted the brunt of the storm seemed to pass to the south of us.  The snow isn’t bad, but the cold seems brutal. And it doesn’t look as if it’s going to warm up anytime soon. Bundle up, thing Spring, carry on…

Currently 28 with an average wind from the N of 11 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 25, Humidity 88%, Barometer 29.91, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 8;14 am, Sunset 5:17 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 7:00 am Sunday. Patchy freezing drizzle at onset with the possibility of 3-6″ of snow. Some blowing and drifting possible with gusty NE winds.

Cloudy today with a 60% chance of snow. High 29. NNE winds 10-15 mph.

Overnight snow. Low 18. NNE winds 10-15 mph.

We seem to be on the northern edge of this storm so it doesn’t look right now as if we’re going to get slammed by this one. A little wobble either way could make a difference of a few inches. It needs some watching and without doubt the roads, either way, will become unpleasant to be driving on. So just be careful.

What looks more troublesome is the deep dip in the temperature for next week. Days of 20 degrees and a few daytime temps in the high teens. That’s darn cold. So be prepared to have to bundle up before heading out.
