Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021-SW Michigan-Sunshine & Warmer Temps Have A Lot Of Work To Do
Currently 39 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. Feels like 36 degrees. Dew Point 35, Barometer 29.66, Humidity 86%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 6:23 pm.
Partly sunny with a high around 40 degrees. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.
Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of rain/snow possibly mixed with some freezing rain overnight. Low in the lower 30s. SW winds 5 -10 mph.
The sun is shining and the temperatures are higher – but they sure do have a lot of work to do. I went out and measured at various spots in my backyard and right now there is an average of about 14″ of snow on the ground. Heavy, wet snow as of now that really doesn’t want to go anywhere fast. We know it will go – eventually – but there’s definite proof of a beastly month of February everywhere. Long icicles are beginning to drip and hopefully will vanish before too long. Dead grass and mud will eventually be revealed as the snow retreats into oblivion. But for now we just have to enjoy the sunshine, the warmer temperatures and know that Spring will be with us before too long. Thank goodness.
