Yesterday’s drive home from work was a scary situation for many people.  Heavy snow, wind, hail and even lightening thrown in for fun. This storm is not to be taken lightly. Be careful diving today, tonight, in the morning. Road crews will be doing their best for you but you need to take responsibility for what you’re doing out there. Lots of folk without power right now because of the high winds. Better conditions coming Friday through Sunday. We might even see our temperatures sneaking into the 40 degrees Sunday and Monday. That won’t last either, but it will be a welcome change from what we’re dealing with now.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SSE of 4 mph. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 29.64, Humidity 96%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

100% chance of snow showers. Possible heavy snow showers. Snow accumulation 2-4″ possible. NW winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 45.

This morning is not bad but things will go downhill later today through tomorrow. Very windy conditions expected. Possible heavy lake effect snow will follow the clipper system snow that starts it all off. This afternoon and evening might be bad enough but tomorrow could be ferocious. If you must be out driving, please be careful. Depending on how much of this predicted snow we get will be made more dangerous by high winds. This is not going to be a fun couple of days.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 23, Barometer 30.4, Humidity 86%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

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.

Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. W winds around 10 mph.

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….

Winter Weather Advisory continues through noon today.

Measures 3 1/2″ in my little backyard this morning but many areas around me got much more. Definitely winter weather no matter how much snow you measure. And it continues. There appears to be snow mentioned in every day during the coming week. Bundled up, keep the snow shovel handy and either enjoy it or endure it…what ever, just gear up and get through it.

Currently 26 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 26, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.95, Visibility 1.2 mi. Sunrise 7:52 am, Sunset 5:09 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Saturday 7:00 am,

Got some overnight snow, more today and tomorrow. Well, then even though the Winter Weather Advisory comes to a halt, we are still looking at more snow – some possible every single day for the next week. I reckon winter has set in. Had to eventually but personally I’m never ready. Nor appreciative. Yet here it is anyway. Keep the snow shovel handy.

Currently 31 with an average SSW 6 mph. Feels like 26 degrees. Dew Point 27, Humidity 86%, Barometer 29.87, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:51 am, Sunset 5:09 pm.

Mostly sunny until midday becoming mostly cloudy. High in the mid 30s. NW winds around 10 mph.

70% chance of snow. 1-3″ possible. Low in the mid 20s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Starting out with supposedly partly cloudy skies, but looking outside all I see is a mostly overcast sky right now. Not surprising, it’s what I usually see out there during these months. There is a pretty fair chance for some snow tonight and tomorrow with a bit of accumulation. Looking ahead, there is the opportunity for snow of some sort every single day for the next week. We know how these systems very often miss us – going north or south – east or west.  So for us? We get what we get, but don’t be too surprised if we see snow in one way or another to end up November and start out December.

Have a wonderful, and grateful Thanksgiving Day. Give thanks for your blessings and if you stop to list them, you might be surprised, perhaps, at how much you have to be grateful for.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the N of 2 mph. Feels like 31 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 94%, Barometer 29.98, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7;50 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the lower 40s. Light winds.

Mostly cloudy becoming partly cloudy with a low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

Hard to imagine but it’s a possibility that we could see another peek at the sun today. Yesterday was delightful. And after today, all I see in our forecast is the chance of snow showers showing up every day for the next week. Let’s all hope for some breaks in today’s clouds on this day before Thanksgiving. We all know from past weather history that things could be SO much worse than they are this time around. Grateful for the fact that they aren’t. Getting into my grateful mode a day early but hey…nothing wrong with that.

Currently 34 with an average wind fro he SW of 4 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 28, Humidity 77%, Barometer 30.32, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:49 am, Sunset 5:10 pm

Partly sunny becoming mostly sunny today with a high in the upper 30s. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy. Low in the lower 20s. W winds around 10 mph with gusts to around 20.

It may be chilly out there but at least today it’s bright. Might be out last one so I’d suggest you enjoy it as much as you can. Except for a brief exception, our temperatures will be dipping into downright cold. And most sites are showing some form of precipitation for many of our days. Not sure yet what Thanksgiving Day will present for us to be driving in, but it will be a pleasant surprise if it’s dry. Big cold system marching from west to east across the country so we’re not the only ones heading into cold weather. Doesn’t make it any more comfortable but it’s nice to share, isn’t it?
