A blast From the Past!

A blast From the Past Over the years there have been some big snowstorms on or near St Patrick’s day. In 2014 parts of the mid-Atlantic got walloped. Washington, D.C., received 7.2 inches of snow and for Washington that was some storm.  As the 10th-largest March storm in Washington, D.C., it knocked the historic blizzard […]

Spring Ahead

It seems like it was just yesterday that we set the clocks back to winter time and now it is time to reset them (the clocks) to summer time. There was a time when Michigan was on EST time for the whole year and in the mid or late 1960’s we started going on EDT […]

Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms. While it is only March it is not too early to think about thunderstorms. It seems to me that the number and intensity of storms has been down the last few years. Any way here is some information on thunderstorms. My sister lived in Fort Myers Florida for about 15 years before she passed […]

Marching Forward

  On Monday we will flip the calendar to March and the start of meteorological spring. While some like the snow and cold of winter I like the warmth of late spring and summer. That is by far my favorite time of the year.  During March we start out with 11 hours and 14 minutes […]

Warm February Days

Warm February Days From time to time there has been talk of the trend for “short” winters lately. In looking at past history there have been very few winters where it has been cold from the start to the end. That can be said for most summers as well as few have been “hot” from […]

Record low snow fall!

Record low snow winter. Of course, we will not know for sure how much snow this winter will have (as of today it is 9.4”) But at this time the winter of 2020/21 is running very similar to the winter of 1905/06.  For November, December and up to Friday AM I will give you a […]

1971!!

50 years ago. This week I will look back 50 years ago at 1971.  In September of 1970 I just started a new job that I would have for the next 36 years. While I did not live in Grand Rapids at the time (I lived in Bay City then) I will look at the […]
