Found some ice in the birdbath this morning. Appears to be time to turn it on at night now. November is starting out on the chilly side, as it should. As it must. After all, we’re now rapidly heading into the winter months. They’ll be here sooner than you imagine. Seems like we were just waiting for spring and now we’re at the other end. Would must prefer it to be the opposite but I haven’t much say in the matter. Aiming to get out and rake leaves out of my tiny backyard area – hopefully for the last time this year.  The past few days of harsh winds have managed to cram a ton of them up close to my backdoor again. Had enough of that, now. Shouldn’t complain, however, won’t be long and I’ll be complaining about the snow in my backyard needing to be moved. Alas…

Yesterday’s wind was fierce. Trees are looking mighty different today from just a few days ago. Also our temperature is down considerable, too. And it’s going to stay there. No need to be looking for anymore 70s or near 80s…not for some time to come. It was nice while it lasted but alas….it’s now long gone, blown away by some persistent high winds. Looks like Saturday I’ll be back out in my little backyard with a rake again. Hopefully for the last time this year. And so starts the month of November in Michigan.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a 20% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 40s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 40 decreasing to 30.

Not a very pleasant forecast for any trick or treaters this evening. If the rain holds off, sounds as if the wind won’t be so kind. There are so few of the little candy seeking goblins anymore it probably won’t matter so much. But for those out there, try to keep them dry and tied down so they don’t blow away. No more rain in sight after this until Sunday. That, unfortunately, appears to want to last until Wednesday, so a rainy period ahead.  Should take care of what leaves are left behind after the wind blows through.

Wind and rain will help bring down a lot of our leaves. It’s that time of the year. I hope you’ve had the chance to get out and do some leaf peeping while the leaves were still all connected and the color was brilliant. Been a pretty fall this year. Evidently the weather has cooperated along those lines. Hard to believe we’re on the edge of slipping out of October and falling into November already. Sure came around fast. Now to get ready for Halloween to polish it all off.

Currently 67 with an average wind from the S of 4 mph. Feels like 67 degrees. Dew Point 59, Humidity 77%, Barometer 29.92, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 6:37 pm.

Enjoy today and tomorrow because this could jolly well be the last of our 70 degree days. Not seeing anything like this in the foreseeable future. This is remarkable weather for the end of October in Michigan. Lots of 50s and 60s. Getting more toward the 50s as the days go on. Our rains could become more prevalent and chillier. Just the way it is. In the meantime a couple of really comfortable days are ours. Go forth and enjoy them.

Looking like rain tonight and then again about Thursday. Other than that, plenty of sunshine and a couple of fairly warm days mixed in there. Don’t be looking for a whole lot more of those comfortable days, we’re lucky to be getting two of them. Might see more rain coming, it’s almost November and things turn a little damp from now on. Count us fortunate none of it is looking to be snow yet. A lot of the brilliant color has faded from the trees in places. In others, it’s still blazing away. Again, that time of year. Soon enough Mother Nature’s attempt to appease our senses with color in order to make us forget the dull white and black color scheme she really has in mind will be way gone.

Currently 45 with an average wind from the SE of 2 mph. Feels like 45 degrees. Dew Point 34, Humidity 66%, Barometer 30.37, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 6:40 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the upper 50s. Light winds.

Such a pretty day, nice and bright – but it’s darn chilly out there. Nice to know that this coming week will bring us a couple of comfortable days. Upper 70s, might even see an 80. Won’t last  but we’ll take what we can get even if it’s only one or two days at a time. We should get some rainy days coming this week, too. And mostly back into the chilly temperatures. Things could be so much worse the end of October in Michigan, we we’re grateful for what’s in store for us for now.

Currently 47 with an average wind from the WNW of 6 mph. Feels like 43 degrees. Dew Point 37, Humidity 68%, Barometer 30.39, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 6:41 pm.

This should be a great weekend to get out and take in the fall color. The rains that will eventually get around us will take down a lot of them, the color will fade and the opportunity will be lost before too long. That colorful confetti all over the ground is proof that it’s now or perhaps never for leaf peeping. Like spring when the light green begins and suddenly Poof! everything is green and lush, our falls are much the same. The color begins, blazes away, the leaves start to fall and suddenly it’s all gone and what’s left on the trees will be dull brown. Then nothing but bare branches. So…get out there, take a look, take your pictures and enjoy it while it’s there.

Mostly clear with an overnight low in the upper  30s. NW winds 5-10 mph.

Not a very pleasant morning but it should become more so in the afternoon. Still chilly but at least not so wet. Might look for more rain from Monday night into Thursday along with a couple of 70 degree days. Not many of those remaining, so we need to enjoy every one we do get. The ground has become a confetti of color with so many leaves now letting loose and falling. Won’t be long before all that left will be the skeletal bare branches of trees above us. Not yet – but not far away.

Currently 46 with an an average wind from the SE of 3 mph. Feels like 46 degrees. Dew Point 43, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.18, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:07 am, Sunset 6:44 pm.

Sunny with patchy morning for. High in the lower 60s. SW winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with a 100% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 40s. SW winds 5-10 mph.

We could be getting some rain tonight and again tomorrow. I do hope so as we won’t be looking at another chance until next week some time. This weekend continues to look cool and dry. Perhaps a good weekend to get out and look for leaf color. It will warm up a bit next week, not as cool as this coming Saturday and Sunday.
