It’s a nice looking day out there, one could almost imagine spring right around the corner. But when you step outside, you know better. That wind is bitter cold and cuts right through you. Most definitely does not feel close to spring. Got lots of winter left, so it’s basically unrealistic to start thinking spring already, but I can’t help myself. I can think it, even if I can’t feel it yet.

Currently 20 with an average wind from the ESE of 8 mph making it feel like 11 degrees. Dew Point 15, Humidity 78%, Barometer 30.44 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:27 pm. Mostly cloudy today with a high of 29. SE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy tonight. Low 24. E winds 5 – 10 mph.

Nothing going on here today even though there does appear to be yet another winter storm – Gia, this time – parading through the middle of the country. We’ve really lucked out this winter, so far.

Currently 22 with an average wind from the NNW of 12 mph making it feel like 11 degrees. Dew Point 14, Humidity 71%, Barometer 30.37 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:26 pm. Mostly cloudy today with a few snow showers possible. High 27. NNW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight, low 18. N winds 5 -10 mph.

Trying to get used to the furnace turning on so often during the night. When it gets down into the teens at night, that little rascal is working hard.  I’m so longing for warm summer nights with the windows open, the sound of crickets and….well…eventually. Just have to weather the weather, stay warm and wait it out.

Currently 20 with an average wind from the  NW  of 13 mph making it feel like 8 degrees. Dew Point 13, Humidity 73%, Barometer 30.11 & rising, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:25 pm. Cloudy with a 60% chance of more morning snow flurries, High 24. NW winds 15 -25 mph with higher gusts possible.

Cloudy overnight with a low near 20. NW winds 15 – 25 mph.

Well, from enjoying 40 degrees to now being caught up in 20 degrees…big difference. We do still have a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until about 7pm today, with perhaps another 1″ of snow expected. Only got a little over a half an inch overnight, but actually could have been more. The wind was whipping around so strong, I’m sure a lot of it that fell was simply blow away. At any rate, winter has returned.

Currently 38 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph making it feel like 33 degrees. Dew Point 37, Humidity 94%, Barometer 29.73 & falling, Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:24 pm. 80% chance of a few morning showers mixing rain with snow in the afternoon. High near 40 in the morning with temps falling through the day. W winds 5 – 10 mph with busts to 15-25.

Cloudy with a few snow flurries overnight possible. Low 22, WNW winds 15 – 25 mph.

Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 5pm this afternoon to 7pm Wednesday. Rain changing to snow. 1 – 4″ possible. Winds gusting to 40 mph.

Right now, this morning, it feels almost like spring outside. We’ve been so mild so far. Been lovely. Things will change tonight/tomorrow, but in the meantime so far this has been a really decent winter in Michigan.

Temperature 33 with an average wind from the SE of 21 mph making it feel like 22 degrees. Dew Point 27, Humidity 77%, Barometer 29.91 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:33 pm. Windy today. SE winds 20-30 mph with gusts to 40. 100% chance of rain showers. High 48.

50% chance of overnight rain showers. Low 29. WSW winds 10 -20 mph.

For the most part, the freezing rain expected overnight missed us. There was a crusty surface on things this morning, but the majority of that mess went to the north. We are still going to be enjoying the unseasonable warmth today – tomorrow – but then the bottom falls out, the cooler temps settle in with some lake effect snow on the way to winter up the scene. Doesn’t look like any more 40 degree days in our future for awhile, but while they were here, most of us were happy about it.

Currently 34 with an Average wind from the NNE of 9 mph making it feel like 27 degrees. Dew Point 24, Humidity 67%, Barometer 30.31 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:22 pm. Morning mix of sun and clouds will give way to all clouds in the afternoon. High mid 30s. ENE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy with an 80% chance of overnight freezing rain. Low 29. ESE winds 15 – 25 mph.

So far, so good today, lots of morning sunshine. But the overnight forecast leaves a lot to be desires. Fingers crossed this doesn’t come about. Will make for some ugly morning commuting for those in the work force.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph making it feel like 24 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.81 & rising, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:20 pm. Dense Fog Alert In Place. Early fog with clouds, afternoon sunshine. High 43. WSW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight. Low 29. NW winds 10 – 15.

The fog was supposed to have started to lift by about 9:00 this morning but it’s getting more dense all the time. No idea of how long this is going to hover over the area, but not good driving conditions out there right now. Our fairly mild temperatures appear to be holding on for now. Good news except for those involved in winter sports. Since I’m not numbered among them, this is all good for me.

Currently 33 with a SSW wind of 9 mph making it feel like 25 degrees. Dew Point 30, Humidity 88%, Barometer 29.80 & rising, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:20 pm. Sunny today with a high of 42. WSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Clear overnight skies. Low 28. Light and variable winds.

We have a pretty nice little patch of weather with us again. Strange winter weather – but I love it. 30s and 40s? Oh my yes. Could be SO much worse this time of year in Michigan. Whatever is causing this – El Nino, La Nina? Who cares? Well, somebody obviously does, but I don’t. Just keep bringing this rather mild winter weather our way and I’ll be a fan of whichever one we’re dealing with.
