Enjoy today’s sun because tomorrow is bringing snow back into our picture. Again, not much warmth with the sunshine today but this is the best we can do in a Michigan January. Just happy to see blue skies and sunshine. Personally, I won’t be all that thrilled to see clouds and snow tomorrow, but that’s what we’re going to get. I have very little to say about what weather we get. If I did, it would be a constant 78 degrees with mostly sunshine and a light breeze blowing. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, if you’re not a winter enthusiast it might. For me? Definitely. In the meantime cold with sunshine today and snow tomorrow. That’s it.

Currently 17 with an average wind from the NW of 6 mph. Feels like 7 degrees. Dew Point 8, Humidity 69%. Barometer 30.55 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:08 am, Sunset 5:38 pm.

It’s wonderful seeing some sunshine this morning. Not warming at all, but giving the illusion. No warming, in fact, in our immediate picture but hey…it’s heading towards the end of January and that just leaves us one miserable winter month left, so that’s encouraging. Looks like some snow moving in over the weekend and as of right now, it seems Monday could bring us the most of it. Hard to tell, as usual. Just be ready for some white stuff that will need to be moved around for 3 or 4 days in a row. Hopefully, it won’t be a back breaking amount, but do have that shovel on hand, anyway.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the W of 8 mph. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 21, Humidity 73%, Barometer 29.93 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:08 am, Sunset 5:37 pm.

Overcast with the chance of some snow showers or flurries. No accumulation expected. High 31. WNW winds 15-25 mph.

Cloudy to partly cloudy overnight with a 40% chance of snow showers in the evening. Low around 10. NNW 10-15 mph.

A couple of days before the temperature tumbles again. Sounds like some serious snow over on the shoreline but the lake effect snow shouldn’t get over as far as to my little backyard. It’s amazing what a few miles distance will do. We are expecting some snow over the weekend, but so far, no predictions on much accumulation. Just typical January winter weather for Michigan.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 31 degrees. Dew Point 26, Humidity 88%, Barometer 30.00 & rising, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 8:09 am, Sunset 5:36 pm.

Cloudy today with a 30% chance of some snow flurries. High mid 30s. S winds 10-20 mph.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight snow flurries. Low 26. SW winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35.

Yesterday turned out quite different from the forecast. A fine snow mixing with a freezing drizzle did a fair job of icing up roads and sidewalks early yesterday. Not what we were looking for and certainly not what we needed. Hopefully today won’t give us any reruns. A couple of decent temperatures will stick with us and then it gets cold again. The usual up and down of winter temperatures.

Currently 25 with an average wind from the NW of 3 mph. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 22, Humidity 89%, Barometer 29.71 & rising, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 8;10 am, Sunset 5:35 pm.

Cloudy with a slight chance of snow snow showers. High around 30. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Overcast with a chance of some overnight snow showers. Low 22. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Lots of differences in the weather reporting stations. Some have a chance for snow every day except for perhaps today and Friday. Others, not so much. So I guess it’s going to be one of those wait and see weeks. At least the temperature for today isn’t hideous. Not time to break out the picnic supplies, but at least not down there close to the zero mark. And cold temperatures are again set to dive down our way – and much farther south – very soon. So enjoy today and bundle up for the rest. Well…I’d keep that bundle up going for today, too, but then anything less that about 72 leaves me cold :>)

Currently 12 with an average wind from the E of 4 mph. Feels like 5 degrees. Dew Point 4, Humidity 71%, Barometer 30.09 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:33 pm.

Partly cloudy morning will become a mostly cloudy afternoon. High 26. Light and variable winds.

Cloudy with a 20% chance of some snow showers. Low 16. Light and variable winds will becoming NW 5-10 mph.

So – it was a whopping 1 degree this morning when I stepped out to feed the critters. That’s a bit too nippy for me. Thankfully the sunshine has made it feel a tad warmer than it is today. We’re very fortunate not to be dealing with the winter storm that is hammering other parts of the country. We could end up with a bit of snow about mid-week, but for sure we’re going to be hanging on to the cold weather. A typical Michigan January winter week.

Currently 8 with an average wind from the ENE of 10 mph. Feels like -5 degrees. Dew Point 5, Humidity 85%, Barometer 30.53, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:32 pm.

Partly cloudy with a high of 19 degrees. ENE winds 10-15 mph.

Clear overnight skies. Low 2 degrees. Light and variable winds.

Thankfully we aren’t dealing with the woes from Winter Storm Izzy – not the snow nor the ice. But we are having to handle the cold. It’s January in Michigan, so that’s to be expected. January and February are cold months here, no getting around it. It was a whole 8 degrees this morning when I went out to feed the critters and I expect it to be colder tomorrow morning for that chore. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if we dipped to zero or below. Just lucky that’s all we have to be subjected to for now.

Currently 21 with an average wind from the NE of 13 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 15, Humidity 80%, Barometer 30.28 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:31 pm.

Cloudy. High 21. ENE winds 10-20 mph.

Cloudy with a low around 10. NE winds 10-15 mph.

So – Winter Storm Izzy (isn’t that the coolest name yet?) is setting a solid path in a scoop to the south of us, missing us entirely. Good going, Izzy. Our temperatures are going to remain cold, but the snowfall will miss us and I, for one, am not the least bit unhappy about that.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the NE of 8 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 28, Humidity 91%, Barometer 29.97, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:30 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of morning snow showers. High 33. N winds 5-10 mph.

Cloudy overnight skies becoming partly cloudy after midnight. Low 17. N winds 5 -10 mph.

Well, a few fairly comfortable (for January in Michigan) days and her come the really cold numbers again. Saturday night could get to around zero. Sounds like the daytime temperatures will remain in the twenty degree range all next week. Bundle up. Think Spring.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the W of 5 mph. Feels like 25 degrees. Dew Point 28, Humidity 92%, Barometer 30.00 & rising, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:29 pm.

Cloudy with a slight chance of a few snow flurries. High 36. WSW winds 5-10 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a low of 26. Light and variable winds.

Nothing much in view as far as anything severe coming at us. Not for now, anyway. Our temperatures will continue to go up and down…not too far up and more down than is comfortable, but that’s just usual wintry stuff. Merely regular Michigan January winter weather.
