Lots of sun yesterday with high temps of 65° after a morning low of 28° and just enough breeze to work comfortably outdoors. My wife is in charge of our multiple flower beds and I do the veggie gardens and lawns. Now that the danger of frost is (hopefully) gone it is time to get […]

We have 38° this morning at 6 am which is 10° warmer than we had for a low yesterday morning as we continue with our cool pattern. We have threats of widespread frost over the next three nights which isn’t typical though not unheard of for early May. Last year at this time we also […]
On May 9th 1923 one of the strangest snow storms to ever hit Michigan happened. Here is the write up from the NWS office out of Detroit on the storm. Not since records have been kept in Southeast Lower Michigan (Detroit as far back as 1870), has the snowstorm of May 9th in 1923 […]
