We had quite a breezy day yesterday. A good portion of the leaves blew off the trees, of course after leaf blowing and mulching over the weekend it is time to do the same once again. I am lucky enough to have woodlots to move the excess leaves to, most I mulch back into the […]
We have clear skies at 6 am with a temp of 53° giving us a pleasant October morning. Enjoy today because this may be our last chance to get near 70° for a while. As we go through the week the weather and warmth will be in a declination phase and by the end of […]
All in all our fall weather has been nice with temps in the 60s and 70s with a lot of sunny days but as with all good things it will end to our typical cool and wet pattern as we creep closer to mid-month. Clouds will be around today leftovers from the remnants of Delta […]
12 Decades Weather records have been kept by the NWS office at Grand Rapids since 1892 but between 1892 and 1898 there is data that is missing. But starting in 1898 there is good data. This week I will look at the annual mean average temperature for each decade from 1900 to 2019. […]

I was out mulching the leaves with my lawn tractor yesterday and of course, with the wind the lawn was covered again by the time I finished. At times it seemed like a blizzard of leaves falling with all the trees we have around here but hey, that is the price to pay living in […]
We have a very mild morning with a temp of 63° at 5 am in Otsego. All the rain is up along the US10 corridor where it will stay until it moves out later today. The wind is rather gusty this morning blowing the leaves off the trees. This is the only precipitation we will […]
Can’t ask for weather much better than this, unless of course, one prefers hotter conditions. This week is one where you don’t have to run the air conditioner or furnace – the windows can be open for the allowance of fresh air to permeate the house. We did have one day last week when we […]
Yup, its that time of the year when the Weather Channel issues its new list of winter storm names for the upcoming season. Winter storms are named based on either meeting or the expectation to meet, at least one of the following criteria: – NWS winter storm, blizzard, or ice storm warnings covering at least […]
After the wet gloomy days we have had the sun will be a welcome change as the clouds begin to break up later today. Along with the sunshine we will begin a warming trend with perhaps 70° by next weekend. We have a better than 60% chance of above-normal temps over the next couple weeks […]
