Weather - 1/9/07

After a very mild stretch of weather, temperatures are beginning to cool down. We even saw a light dusting of snow come down late in the evening yesterday to remind us all in the U.P. that it is still winter and not spring (afterall, it is January). Temperatures yesterday were generally in the lower to middle 30's and today they are expected to hover around 32 degrees. Only light snow is expected today; no significant accumulation is anticipated. No major snows are expected within the next seven days which means the winter sports lovers will be in agony at the lack of snows in our neck of the woods.

Weather - 12/3/07

Needless to say, the weather has gotten quite wintery in the Upper Peninsula. A major winter storm overspread the region on Saturday and continued into the next day. Six to 12 inches of snow blanketed the region; with residents also enduring strong winds at times. The temperatures warmed into the low to mid 30's on Sunday but the precipitation continued as snow with some freezing rain and drizzle mixing in at times. There was a break in the snow for awhile during the day on Sunday, but then the lake effect snows kicked in. In the lake effect snowbelts, an additional six to 12 inches has fallen. The snow continues tonight and the temperatures have cooled off some into the 20's. It's definitely got that winter-time feel around these parts; just in time for the Christmas season!
