Not too bad as winter days in early December go. I am assuming it will be getting worse the next few days, but we’ll take what we get. Perhaps a brief clearing of clouds on Friday and maybe Sunday. These won’t be all day events even if they do happen. Mostly we’re looking at the opportunity for some snow most days. My area hasn’t been the host for any of the lake effect snow so far, and hopefully won’t be. No guarantees though so our best bet is to simply be ready for whatever comes our way. That’s actually what it takes to survive Michigan winters, so most of us are equipped with what we need – if not going so far as to an appreciative attitude. No sense in trying for the impossible for those of us unable to see much joy in winter weather.

Some more than welcome breaks in the clouds this morning. Do you see that blue sky out there? What a lovely color. Of course it gets to the point where any color is a lovely color when we’re dealing with all our overcast winter skies. However, today is offering us some brightness and we’ll take it, happily. We seem to be looking at the chance for snow most days this coming week. I’d say especially Wednesday, along with some wind. Bundle up.

Currently 24 with an average wind from the WSW of 2 mph. Feels like 24, Dew Point 22, Humidity 90%, Barometer 30.08, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

Our dreary landscape, which is just beginning and prepared to linger for the next handful of months, is already overstaying its welcome. It is such a stark picture we’ll be looking at now until spring finally gets here and gives us some color and relief. And in so saying, the only thing coming our way for this entire next week would be more clouds, more cold and more snow showers. Thrilling isn’t it? Yeah….
