More Cool Weather for Mid Michigan

Posted by: chatcat, 10:30 PM GMT on April 28, 2012

Once again, Michigan is under the influence of cool Canadian air. The temperatures have been below-normal for most of our April but warm air is in the forecast for next week. I've given up on my hydrangea bush blooming this summer since most of the buds have been damaged by frost. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what it does. It may surprise me.The dopplar has been showing showers over our area all day but with the low humidity, there wasn't a drop.Right ...

Very Blustery in Mid Michigan

Today was not a good one to be out and about. What began as a very pleasant morning turned quite cold and very windy.

We did reach 86F by late afternoon but today should be a little cooler. Yesterday's high temp record was broken by 12 degrees. I did get out for a nice bike ride and stopped by the Shiatown East Park (pictured above) for a rest. I am so out of shape and did a lot of huffing and puffing especially on those hills. We don't have any ...

Record Warmth For Mid Michigan

Posted by: chatcat, 3:25 AM GMT on March 15, 2012

With our temps well into the upper 70s today, one would never think that they were in Michigan. It is hard to believe that spring is still over a week away since today felt more like early June. Our high in Owosso reached 80F but here my thermometer read 76F. It is 11:15 PM and my windows are still wide open.I celebrated by washing windows and putting some screens in place. The summer birds are all back as well as the wasps. We actually sat outdoors for awhile ...
