Old man 2020 is gimping towards the finish line of a year which will remain in the minds of all as eerie and scary, to say the least. This is one we quickly want to put behind us, wipe the slate clean and do a do-over if that was at all possible. On the positive […]
We have a sloppy mess outside this morning with some freezing rain going on though temps are beginning to rise to just above freezing in Otsego. We had a couple of inches of snow on the ground when I went to bed at 10 pm last night, it is now about an inch of slush […]
We have another winter weather advisory which will move into place at 10 pm tonight lasting through 1 pm tomorrow afternoon for a good portion of Michigan. This system will feature a mixed bag of precipitation beginning as snow, then a mix changing to all rain as we get into the early morning hours […]
The terminology for an unsettled weather pattern is simply put “not staying the same”. This week will feature the possibility of seeing some sun tomorrow with the rest of the forecast fairly dismal with rain and/or snow the rest of the period.

Thanks to all my friends who visit the Weather Center and a Merry Christmas. We finally have snow covering the ground, perhaps a bit over an inch here in Otsego from the lake effect which is currently out over the lake at this time (4 am). The snow is expected to move back onshore with […]
The winds are howling this morning and a few snowflakes have begun to fall bringing forth the promised snowfall for Southwest Michigan. We have one of those Amish designed electric fireplaces which may come in handy today and help with the Christmas mood. If you don’t have a fireplace you can use the one below […]
