Monday, Dec. 2, 2019-South West Michigan-Fair Weather Week Ahead – Maybe

Monday, Dec. 2, 2019-South West Michigan-Fair Weather Week Ahead – Maybe

Currently 28 with an average wind from the N of 11 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 25, Humidity 89%, Barometer 29.96 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Cloudy to partly cloudy today. High 33. N winds 5 – 10 mph.

Mostly clear to overcast overnight. Low 22. Light and variable winds.

Okay, peering ahead it would seem we are in store for a week minus any  new precipitation. So far it looks that way. Things can change but until next weekend we might be looking at fairly decent temperatures – for Michigan – and no new snow. We did get a wicked little storm the other night and have plenty of proof of that laying around. Crunching under foot and tire. Perhaps by next weekend most of this batch will be gone. Hoping so. Our goal, here in Michigan, is to hold on to as comfortable a temperature as we can for as long as we can. Especially in December because once things take a tumble, they go downhill quickly and it always feels like permanently. So far, so good. Should be a fine week for us.

Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019-South West Michigan-4″ Of Overnight Snow

Currently 31 with an average wind from the ENE of 10 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 91%, Barometer 29.38, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:53 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

50% chance of snow flurries and showers. Temperatures near steady in the mid 30s. NE winds 10 – 15 mph.

Cloudy. Low 27. NNE winds 10 -15 mph.

We were supposed to get a lot of wind, snow, sleet, freezing rain mix but what we got was all snow. A little over 4″ of wet heavy snow. I was told there was, but evidently slept right through,  an extremely loud, rumbling thunder storm last night about midnight. Totally missed it and I usually don’t miss thunderstorms. At any rate, this morning looks nice but it’s miserable to be dealing with. Too heavy to shovel, miserable to drive in. The next three or four days should help get rid of a bit of it with no new precipitation forecast. We’ll see. This morning was beautiful to see but not fun to cope with.
