Very chilly out there this morning but it’s turned bright and makes it look warmer than it is. Hang in there because about Wednesday we could possibly be nearing 50. Yeah, seriously. Won’t stay there, but it see temperatures zooming into the upper 40s even for a day is encouraging that Spring is on the way. It’s not right around the corner yet but it’s on the road heading this way. Good enough. In the meantime, enjoy today’s sunshine and Wednesday’s temperatures.

Currently 17 with an average wind from the SW of 7 mph. Feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 8, Humidity 67%, Barometer 30.3, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 6:10 pm.

This is going to be another brutal bout of cold for a few days. But by about mid-week our temperature will likely have climbed into the 40s. Just crazy ups and downs. And throw in snow flurries or showers just for fun. Yup – It’s February in Michigan.

Woke to about 3″ of heavy snow this morning. This is ideal snowman making stuff. Also the heart attack kind so if you have to move any of it. If you do try to be cautious.  This is going to turn into a mess this afternoon as the temperatures rise and the precipitation turns into rain. Good idea then, if you can, to try and clear some of that away from your sidewalk or driveway because the temperatures are set to plunge again and it will all turn into ice. Not a good thought, but there it is. I guess this is the way it’s going to be going. Temps up and down and mixes of snow and rain. Doesn’t sound all that much fun, does it?

Currently 29 with an average wind from the W of 2 mph. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 24, Humidity 80%, Barometer 29.89, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:48 am, Sunset 6:07 pm.

Expect it to be warmer toward tomorrow morning than today or this evening. But…that bit of warm up is probably going to bring snow along with it. Nothing spectacular, but more than we’re been getting. Looks like a bit of snow on Friday, too. Maybe a bit more on Saturday. Well, there’s the chance, a small chance, of snow flurries or showers darn near every day. Face it, it’s February. Can’t expect too much more than that. Just keep the boots and snow shovel handy.

Currently 34 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 32, Humidity 90%, Barometer 29.67, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:49 am, Sunset 6:06 pm.

Sounds like a few days of light snow but the coming weekend might be a winner. According to some weather sites anyway. Some not so much. Those offering us a bit of sunshine lift spirits merely by giving us the thought. I know it does mine. I guess it’s yet another wait and see forecast. And that makes me laugh. All boils down to a guessing game, doesn’t it? Flip a coin – heads snow, tails snow – or heads sunshine, tails sunshine – or a mix of both? Very professional.

Currently 20 with an average wind from the SSE of 4 mph. Feels like 12. Dew Point 17, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.01, Visibility 9 mi, Sunrise 7:50 am, Sunset 6:05 pm.

Okay, so all week it kept saying this was going to be the best day of the coming up. Sunshine. Do I see any sunshine out there so far? No. No, I don’t. So far it’s nothing but yet another gray sky morning. If we do get any sun shining down on us, I guess at this point I’m going to be surprised. Pleased, but surprised. The rest of the week look plain old miserable with a darn good chance of freezing drizzle mixing in with snow showers. Doesn’t that sound lovely? Yeah. Right. Sounds a lot like a miserable February weather week to me. I am SO thinking Spring.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the NW of 3 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 26, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.12, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:52 am, Sunset 6:03 pm.

Cloudy with a 70% chance of snow showers. Patchy freezing drizzle possible. High 31. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight. Low 15. WNW winds 5-10 mph.

Could get a little messy today so do be careful if you’re out and about. Tomorrow should be a fairly nice day but watch out for freezing drizzle after that again. Sounds like a rather dreary week for the most part. Too many chances for bad roads and sidewalks. Be careful.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SSW of 5 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 18, Humidity 69%, Barometer 30.2, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:53 am, Sunset 6:02 pm.

Variable cloudiness overnight with a 40% chance of snow flurries. Low around 25. SW winds 5-10 mph.

It’s been brutal cold some nights and mornings but it’s a bit better for now. Nothing much in the forecast to be any different. Next Tuesday looks to be the best day of the week, with what could be plenty of sunshine. Can’t complain about that, even if it is only one day a week. This time of year in Michigan we’re lucky to see the sun at all.

Currently 13 with an average wind from the SE of 3 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 6, Humidity 89%, Barometer 30.48, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 6:00 pm.

A mix of sun and clouds becoming a mostly cloudy afternoon with a 20% chance of snow showers. High 24. S winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a 20% chance of snow showers. Low near 15. SSW winds 10-20 mph.

Nothing much of note in our forecast. Overnight temperatures should rise at least a tiny bit from the brutal last few nights. But cold weather and slight chances of snow flurries or showers continue to be our outlook for the foreseeable future. Lucky, at the moment anyway, nothing spectacular in the offing. No complaints here about that.

Currently 4 with an average wind from the N of 3 mph. Feels like 3 degrees. Dew Point -2, Humidity 79%, Barometer 30.44, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 5:58 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of afternoon snow showers. High 15-20. Light winds.

More proof that winter is busy showing it’s true nature, watch for more snow showers and colder temperatures. At least we aren’t dealing with the misery that Winter Storm Landon is still spreading around. Ice has been one of the major components of this winter storm system and we, in my area, lucked out and missed that part. Not so lucky elsewhere. Winter storms that bring snow and cold are bad enough, but the ones that usher in ice are the very worst of the season. Ice is treacherous and frightening. We need to consider ourselves just plain lucky to have to deal with snow and cold. As much as I hate it, I do consider that the best of the options. Anyway, cold tonight and cold again tomorrow night before it levels out a tad. Bundle up.
