There’s a trace of snow on the ground already with occasional tiny snow flakes drifting down through the air. I suspect those will begin to gang up and make their presence know in larger numbers very soon. I saw something on social media this morning about finding joy in snow, because even if you don’t, there will still be snow. And I appreciate the wisdom of that. I do. And I try. I truly do. But in all honesty I usually fall short on the joy of snow part. Alas…heading into the wrong season for me.

Currently 33 with a SSW wind of 10 mph making it feel like 25 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 84%, Barometer 30.08 & falling, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:39 am, Sunset 5:14 pm. Cloudy with the possibility of flurries or snow showers. High mid 30s. WSW winds 10 -15 mph.

Cloudy to partly cloudy with the possibility of flurries early on. Low 22. NNW winds 5- 10 mph.

Right at the moment there is a weak sun striving bravely to break through the cloud cover. Good enough. At least it’s trying. Not going to warm up much today, but hey…if it just doesn’t snow, that’s good enough for me.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the ENE of 1 mph. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 25, Humidity 85%, Barometer 30:30, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 5:15 pm. Cloudy with the possibility of a bit of sun breaking through later today. High 36. WSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Clear to cloudy overnight. Low 25. Light and variable winds.

A rather bleak looking morning so far with nothing much more than a blah gray sky overhead. Tomorrow, for the moment, appears to be holding out the possibility of a frozen mix – which is the pits when it comes to winter driving conditions. I’m hoping that changes by morning, but for right now, that’s what we’re looking at.  Right now the beginning of next week seems to be offering the same conditions. So not good.

Currently 32 with an average wind from the NW of 6 mph making it feel like 26. Dew Point 27, Humidity 83%, Barometer 30.30 & rising, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 5:16 pm. 80% chance of snow showers, high mid 30s. NNW winds 5- 10 mph.

Overnight clouds, low 26. Light and variable winds.

Not much going on today. That’s fine. Snow showers come and go and side roads are still probably not the best. Looks to be a few days during this coming week where we will have a good chance of having peeks at the sun. Going to be welcome. From November right on through to Spring, we have a shortage of sunshine so when it shows up, we’re grateful.  It’s Michigan winter.

Currently 30 with a SW wind of 9 mph making it feel like 22 degrees. Dew Point 30, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.80 & rising, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 5:17 pm. 30% chance of scattered morning snow showers, cloudy afternoon. High 39. W winds 10 – 20 mph.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. Low 31. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

Winter Weather Alerts were in place today until 10 am. Road conditions are bad as a combination of snow and ice to a depth of .25″ is making things miserable. Listening to the radio on waking, I heard there were plenty of accidents and slide-offs during the morning commute. Personally, I cancelled a morning appointment that I won’t be resetting until spring. If I don’t have to go out in this wintry weather stuff, I won’t. I’m one of the lucky ones and I hope for the best for those who must be out and about no matter how bad the roads.

Currently 28 with an average wind from the ENE of 8 mph making it feel like 20 degrees. Dew Point 20, Humidity 72%, Barometer 30.20 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:34 am, Sunset 5:17 pm. 90% chance of periods of snow. 1-3″ possible. High 34, ENE wind 5 – 10 mph.

60% chance of overnight snow. Low 31. SSW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Precious little color left on the trees now. Here and there some lingers, but the main show has come and gone.

Nothing happening yet, but the call for an inch to 3 inches of snow today make me feel like I should probably get out and run my errands now rather than later.  We’ll see how it goes. Watching scenes of some serious snow falling elsewhere and I would hope it stays there – anywhere else rather than here. Since I have very little say-so in any of it, I reckon I’ll simply cope with whatever comes along.

Currently 24 with a NNW wind of 5 mph making it feel like 17 degrees. Dew Point 14, Humidity 66%, Barometer 30.58 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:33am, Sunset 5:18 pm.  Partly cloudy to mostly clear afternoon, high 33. ENE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Mostly clear with a low of 23. ESE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Sunshine to will make it feel warmer than it is – and it won’t be getting warm at all. At any rate, even with the temperature hovering barely over freezing, everyone will feel better for having seen the sun. We’ll take that as this year it does seem as if winter is settling in early and with a promise of not intending to be kind to us. We’ll see, but so far that’s the impression we’re getting.

Currently 27 with a NNW wind of 10 mph makes it feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 21, Humidity 77%, Barometer 30.33 & rising, Visibility 0.5 mi, Sunrise 7:32 am, Sunset 5:19 pm. 60% chance of snow showers. High 30. NW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low around 20. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Hazardous travel alerts were posted  this morning due to slick and icy roads. That will likely continue off and on as the snow and cold continues – especially on highway overpasses and interchanges. And so begins our Winter travel woes in Michigan. Annual misery that some people simply fail to accept and continue to travel at excessive speeds – thereby causing accidents in their wake where ever they go. It’s infuriating each and every year that some folks won’t – or can’t – adjust their brain to a changing weather conditions. Actually, when you get right down to it, even in summer weather with rain,fog, etc. conditions, it all comes down to speed being the killer. There are people who just should not be allowed behind a moving vehicle wheel.

Currently 33 with a NNW wind of 3 mph. Feels like 33 degrees. Dew Point 27, Humidity 78%, Barometer 30.32 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:30 am, Sunset 5:20 pm. Cloudy with a high in the mid 30s. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy with a stray snow shower possible overnight. Low 24. NNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

As is the wont of humans, who love to tinker with clocks and calendars, today we have the ‘observed’ Veteran’s Day, thereby giving many folks the day off from work. And what else counts, right? Well, in this case, Veteran’s Day, whether we have one day or two, the object is to remember and honor all of those good people who have given service to our nation. In some cases, given their all for our country, for our freedoms. So here’s hoping that somewhere in your busy schedule you’ll take a moment to do it right, think about the brave military past, present and future who have fought for your right to live a lifestyle where you have a day off to do whatever it is you deem important.

Currently 28 with a S wind of 12 mph. Feels like 17. Dew Point 19, Humidity 71%, Barometer 30.29 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:29 am, Sunset 5:21 pm. Generally cloudy with a high of 37. SSW winds 10 -20 mph.

Mostly cloudy tonight, low 29. Light and variable winds.

Very chilly and rather drab here on this Veteran’s Day.

I hope everyone takes a moment to think about those who have served our country so well, so many giving everything they had to do so. I salute each and every one.
