Summer Weather Events First off, I am glad that Kyle is safe and sound after his close encounter with the tornado up in Gaylord. It looks like there was a lot of damage along M 32 in town. One of my youngest son’s friends lives in Gaylord my son has not heard anything from him […]
We have 64° at 4:30 this morning. There was a trace of rain from a few sprinkles passing through Otsego yesterday with a high of 77.5° and a low of 51°. Today we will see more summerlike conditions with partly sunny skies and high temps well into the 80s. It will also be breezy, with […]

We have a few light rain showers moving through this morning and that will be the theme for today. Clouds and possibly some drizzle could linger tonight. Rainfall totals could be a quarter to half an inch through tonight. The sun will return on Thursday leading to a warming trend. Warm conditions are predicted […]
These sunny dry days are nice with the exception of all the pollen in the air they are tolerable if one doesn’t mind having puffy eyes and a leaky nose. The past few days have been terrible for allergy sufferers like myself. Antihistamines are the drug of choice pretty much all season long. It is […]

We had no rain here in Otsego yesterday, our high/low was 84° / 59°. Most of the rain fell in the eastern part of the state, not even a drop here. We have gone eight days without rain. The days are getting longer. As I write this in the early morning, the skies become light […]
May Heat Wave While I do not generally consider a period of very warm weather in May to be a Heat Wave there is a good case to be made for one in 1977, 1962, 1987, 1991 And 2018. Unlike this year when May started out below average May 1977 started out warm. The first […]
We have a very comfortable 55° at 5:30 this morning. Yesterday we reached 89° with comfortable humidity, the morning low was 60°. This will be our last significantly hotter than normal day for next week or so. Normal high temps this time of year are in the upper 60s to around 70. Highs away from […]
In the ‘you don’t see this everyday department’, I was walking over to my neighbors yesterday and I caught movement out of the corner of my eyes, low and behold a half-grown pig comes walking out of the woods. We don’t have feral pigs around here so we herded the swine back to her home […]
