Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2021-SW Michigan- Meteorological Winter Begins
Currently 31 with an average wind from the S of 4 mph. Feels like 31 degrees. Dew Point 30, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.05, Visibility 9 mi.,Sunrise 7:55 am, Sunset 5;10 pm.
Cloudy with a 70% chance of morning rain/snow. High 42. S winds 10-15 mph.
Cloudy overnight skies with a low of 41. SW winds 10-20 mph.
Another Clipper System is set to breeze by us, but this one will bring us more rain than snow. Not so much the system taking aim for Michigan by Sunday. Perhaps some snow here during that one (which would be much better than a wintry mix, which is always a mess) but the possibility of lots more snow is there for farther north – where they really need it for winter sports. Could be good for them.
The only seasonal change that makes sense to me is the Meteorological one. I know the reasoning behind the Astronomical calendar, but it really doesn’t lend itself well to breaking the seasons down in the 3 month parcels they fit in to. So- the real beginning of winter is upon us as of today. For me, just means getting through December, January, February because…March could be nice. Anxious for it already.
