Only a couple of days ago it seemed as if we might be in for some snow this weekend, but now, it’s appearing more and more that the snow will go to the north of us, more to upper Michigan, leaving us with rain. Which is fine and dandy as far as I’m concerned. I’d love to see the snow hold off as long as possible, so if this particular storm wants to wander off and miss us? Good enough! I’m fine with that plan.

Okay, so now the picture for the weekend seems to be minus snow for my area. Who knows? But for now, we seem to be looking at rain rather than snow. It sounds as if the snow will be hitting in the upper portions of Michigan. I know. I know. Just yesterday…but things change with the weather so quickly. A tiny wobble here, a wiggle there, in the systems and a whole new pictures comes in focus. So – for now, it’s rain. We’ll see how it goes.

Partly cloudy. Low in the upper 20s. W winds around 10 mph becoming light overnight.

Not much out there right now but clouds. We have a gray sky. Not very attractive, in fact, downright boring. But hopefully they will drift on out of our picture and leave a clear path for some sunshine. Looking forward to it.

Currently 34 with an average wind from the S of 2 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 30.05, Humidity 99%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:01 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Well, this weekend is shaping up to be interesting. Not quite sure what to expect yet beyond precipitation. What kind? That’s the part up in the air. (No pun intended…well, maybe just a little one)  Depending on whether the Euro or GFS system takes center stage, we could get anything from rain to rain/snow to snow.  Sounds like a grand weekend to stay inside, bake some bread, clean out a closet…what ever. But it does sound as if it’s going to be an inside activity weekend.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the ENE of 2 mph. Feels like 23. Dew Point 24, Barometer 30.03, Humidity 89%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:00 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Partly sunny at some point today. High in the upper 30s. Light winds.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

My understanding is that at some time today we will see some sunshine. Not right now, though, ’cause it’s totally overcast out there this morning. Not a peek of the sun anywhere in sight. And it’s pretty chilly. Definitely a jacket on morning to go out and toss bird seed and squirrel peanuts at the back yard feeding station. Not going to warm up a whole lot today, but with any luck, seeing some sunshine will make it feel more comfortable. We’ll see how it goes.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the NE of 2 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 89%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:59 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the mid 30s. Light winds.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

Not a particularly pretty day and a bit chilly but with no wind blowing to speak of it could feel worse. Looks as if sometime next week we might – unless things change, and we all know they can and do – see a few days with temperatures in the upper 40s. Won’t that be great? For December? In Michigan? Absolutely. Looking forward to it.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the NNE of 4 mph. Feels like 25 degrees. Dew Point 23, Barometer 30.14, Humidity 73%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:58 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Mostly cloudy tonight becoming partly cloudy with a low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

Nothing much showing up in our forecast as far as snow showers for the next week. Not like places in the rest of the country. Now there is a proper Nor’easter taking aim at the East Coast. Sounds like double digit snowfalls in many places. This is the second winter storm to form already and lucky both of them skipped on without bothering us here in SW Michigan. Fingers crossed this pattern continues.

Currently 38 with an average wind from the SSW of 4 mph. Feels like 35 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.52, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 5:07 pm

Mostly cloudy. High in the lower 40s. W winds 10 – 15 mph becoming NW in the afternoon.

Mostly cloudy becoming partly cloudy. Low in the upper 20s. n winds 5 -10 mph.

The weather forecasts are all over the map about what sort of winter we’re going to have – how much snowfall, where will be fall in the temperature range. I’m, personally, going to settle (as much as nature will allow me to) on the one that says mostly above temperatures and below snowfall. Sounds like a wonderful Michigan winter to me. But then, I’m not a winter weather fan. So I’m not shining my snowmobile, fine tuning my snowshoes, polishing my skies.  Me? I’m stocking up on books, snacks, bird and critter food, lining up Britbox TV segments to watch…my usual winter prep routine. Then I’ll settle in and accept whatever Mother Nature throws at us. As usual. After all, what choice do we really have? But bottom line, my fingers are crossed and hopes are up for the lighter winter forecast for my little backyard area.

Currently 37 with an average wind from the SSW of 7 mph. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Mostly cloudy today. High in the low 40s. W winds 10 -15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy with a chance of some snow flurries showing up. Low in the mid 30s. SW winds 10 -1 5 mph.

Yesterday not a hint of snow flurries showing up – today, there it is – that ugly s word. Flurries or showers of it not so bad, but if I had my druthers, I’d rather not hear even that. Hopefully it won’t happen and if it does, it will be gone by morning. So far, so good around here. Much unlike the states that got hammered with the snow storm that traveled across the nation to the south of us.

Currently 37 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 33, Barometer 30.22, Humidity 85%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the mid 40s. W winds 5 – 15 mph.

Mostly clear overnight. Low in the lower 30s. W winds 10 -15 mph.

Lucky us, we escaped any of the snow storm that swept along to the south of us, dumping more than 10″ on places like Cleveland. That’s one doozy of a winter storm to start the season off with. Here we’ve only had on measurable snow, back in November and it wasn’t much and didn’t last. That’s my kind of winter weather.
