The winter storm moved in a bit later than expected and now will be lasting through Sunday. In addition the possibility of freezing rain and inches of snow, we’ll be getting wind and brutal cold temperatures following it. A messy storm bringing nothing good to anyone. Just be alert and watch out for road conditions if you have to travel.

Friday, Feb. 15, 2025-SW Michigan-Snow And Mean Cold Temperatures Coming

Friday, Feb. 15, 2025-SW Michigan-Snow And Mean Cold Temperatures Coming

Winter Storm Jett is going to be here starting tonight, bringing snow, wind and bitter cold temperatures following it. Winter seems to be never-ending this February and it is getting a tad tiresome. At any rate, be prepared for snow this weekend and very cold temperatures to start out next week. I’m always looking forward to spring but this year even more so. Not even looking forward to having to go out and feed the birds and squirrels in the coming days. I will, but not happily. Other than that, I’m hoping not to have to set a foot outside for as long as I can hold off having to do so.

Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025-SW Michigan-Yet Another Winter Storm On The Way

Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025-SW Michigan-Yet Another Winter Storm On The Way

Currently 21 with a 2 mph wind from the SW. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 29.96, Humidity 100%, Visibility 4 mi. Sunrise 7:43 am, Sunset 6:11 pm.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. High in the upper 20s. NW winds 5-10 mph increasing to 15-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers becoming partly cloudy overnight. Low near 10. W winds 5-15 with gusts to 30.

Measured about 3 1/2″ of snow from Winter Storm Iliana in my little backyard. Enough to force me to have to shovel a path and a space for feeding the birds and critters. Not looking forward to the next Winter Storm taking shape. This one will come in probably during the night Friday, through Saturday and perhaps finish by Sunday morning. More snow and more wind followed by bitter cold temperatures. Sounds to me like Winter Storm Jett will be more unpleasant than Iliana. Personally I’m tired of these winter storms one right after another. This has been and evidently will continue to be a most wintry month of February. I  did read that March, April and May could be slightly above normal temperatures and that, if it comes about, will be more than welcome.

Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025-SW Michigan-Another Storm Lined Up

Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025-SW Michigan-Another Storm Lined Up

Currently 18 with a 7 mph wind from the NNE. Feels like 10 degrees. Dew Point 12, Barometer 30.05, Humidity 79%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:44 am, Sunset 6:09 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Thursday morning.

100% chance of afternoon snow developing. 2-4″ possible. High in the mid 20s. E winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

100% chance of overnight snow. 2-4″ possible Low 15-20. NE winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 becoming N 5-10.

Yup – believe it or not when Winter Storm Iliana has moved on and we find out how much snow that one brought – be it a couple inches or more – we seem to have Winter Storm Jett in line to visit us over the weekend. No guesses yet what that one will bring, but looks again like we might possibly be in the middle of the path. I reck0n we’ll find out eventually. No question about it, this month of February has been an active one – and looks to continue along that same line. In the meantime, if you must be on the road later this evening or first thing tomorrow morning, be prepared and careful. You might be dealing with snow covered travels.

Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025-SW Michigan-Winter Storm Still On Track

Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025-SW Michigan-Winter Storm Still On Track

Currently 19 with a 4 mph wind from the SSW. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 17, Barometer 30.28, Humidity 88%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 6:08 pm.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy. High in the mid 20s. N winds around 5 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with an overnight low near 15. NE winds 5-10 mph.

Winter Storm Watch in effect from Wednesday 1:00 pm through Thursday 7:00 am.  5-7″ of snow possible.

So far we only have a storm watch in effect. It does look as if Winter Storm Iliana will visit us but so far, not exactly how much snow will be left behind.  Thinking somewhere around 5″ is looking likely. I reckon by late Thursday we’ll be finding out. In the meantime, be watchful and prepared for what ever is coming.

Monday, Feb. 10, 2025-SW Michigan-Get Ready For Winter Storm Iliana

Monday, Feb. 10, 2025-SW Michigan-Get Ready For Winter Storm Iliana

Currently 19 with a 2 mph wind from the S. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 18, Barometer 30.4, Humidity 86%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:47 am, Sunset 6:07 pm.

Partly cloudy this morning becoming  partly sunny in the afternoon. High in the upper 20s. W winds around 10 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight snow showers. Low 15-20. Light winds.

A few light snowflakes flying around this morning but shouldn’t see any this afternoon. In fact, we should see a bit of sunshine. Sounds lovely in spite of the fact that that brightness won’t do much toward warming us up. Perhaps a flake or two tomorrow but the thing to watch is Winter Storm Iliana which is coming in through our area late Wednesday into Thursday. We should get some significant snow from this one. Forecast prediction is anywhere from 3″ to 8″. Probably will be somewhere in the middle there, but do expect – as of now – to be coping with some shovelable snow.  Actually Iliana is the second storm on the move this week, but the first one, Winter Storm Harlow, is going to slide off to the south of us and should affect us at all. Iliana, on the other hand, very likely will affect us, so just be ready and prepared.

 

Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025-SW Michigan-20 Degree Days Continue

Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025-SW Michigan-20 Degree Days Continue

Currently 21 with a 3 mph average wind from the W. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 15, Barometer 30.26, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:48 am, Sunset 6:05 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of light snow showers until early afternoon. High in the mid 20s. NW winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy. Low near 15. Light winds.

Our chilly days stretch on ahead of us for at the very least the next week. Not seeing any single day get out of the 20 degree range. A few days with some snow tossed in for good measure and our Michigan February winter keeps on rolling along. We could see a bit of sunshine tomorrow, but it’ll be a chilly brightness at best. Right now appears to be snow moving in about Wednesday and again next weekend. Wish there was something more cheery in store for us – and there will be – but just not real soon.

Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025-SW Michigan-Gray Skies, Possible Light Snow

Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025-SW Michigan-Gray Skies, Possible Light Snow

Currently 25 with an average wind from the NNE of 8 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 18, Barometer 30.03, Humidity 81%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:19 am, Sunset 6:04 pm.

60% chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High around 30. E winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20.

70% chance of overnight snow showers. 1″ or less expected. Low in the mid 20s. N winds 5-10 mph becoming NW with gusts to 20.

No color at all in the sky to be excited about this morning unless you like the color gray. Look for the chance of some light snow later on and overnight. After that, I don’t see any more coming until starting around Wednesday. Then several days of it. Right now not seeing anything heavy. A rather dreary spate of February winter weather.

Friday, Feb. 7, 2025-SW Michigan-Cold Day In A Cold Month

Friday, Feb. 7, 2025-SW Michigan-Cold Day In A Cold Month

Currently 18 with an average wind from the SW of 2 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 14, Barometer 30.24, Humidity 81%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:50 am, Sunset 6:03 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers until midday then becoming partly sunny. High in the mid 20s. W winds 5-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy with an overnight low of 15-20 degrees. Light winds.

Darn cold out there this morning and looking ahead those are the numbers I’m seeing in our future. This will be a downright chilly month of February I’m thinking. Will make us even more appreciative when spring finally gets here. In the meantime, look for some snow on Saturday – not nearly as much as was predicted for us, but some anyway. Bundle up and think spring, that’s my advise for February survival. That’s my plan, anyway.

Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025-SW Michigan-Light Morning Snow

Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025-SW Michigan-Light Morning Snow

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 29.74, Humidity 100%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:52 am, Sunset 6:01 pm

Cloudy until midday then becoming partly cloudy. High in the mid 30s. SW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 30 increasing to W 15-25 mph with gusts to around 40.

Partly cloudy with an overnight low 15-20. W winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 40.

Looking a lot like Winter Storm Freya has, as so many of these storms in the past, given us a pass. Some light snow this morning but none of the ice associated with this particular storm. And Winter Storm Garnett, coming along behind, is not a certainty as to how much snow we’re getting on Saturday. Could have been 3-5″ but very likely looking like a 1-3″. Maybe. For this one we just have to wait and see how it develops.
