First off I would like to wish a happy birthday to my wife who will forever remain ageless and beautiful to me. This is the time of year for celebration and family, the giving of gifts and love in which she excels. Part of getting older is the ability to retain the youthful playfulness we all had in our younger years and pay it forward to our children and grand children even when our bodies begin to creak and groan as we get into our golden years. Our ability to remain young of mind as we age goes a long ways and I have enjoyed spending all these years with her as we are of one mind. Life is an enormous playground in which we can bring joy and cheer to all of those in our lives. Lori, happy birthday and thanks for sharing all these years together with me.
On the weather front we will see scattered snow showers with some drizzle mixed in over the next three days – we may see a light coating on the ground by Christmas morning though we may be hard pressed to see the inch we need to proclaim we had a white Christmas. Temps will range from the low to mid 30s with nighttime lows in the 20s. Our next system should move in by Thursday which will start out as snow then change to rain with the possibility of some thunder on Friday before it changes back to snow on Saturday. Below are the Christmas extremes from the NWS.
Christmas Eve and fresh snow on the ground! Who would have thought?
What a storm!!! That 0.1” of snow was tough to shovel this morning!! We are up to a whopping 2” of snow now for December!!! WHO KNEW?!???!
We got zilch here. I hope get some snowfall tomorrow, even if the ground is green.
It’s Christmas, everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS.V!!
Get ready the NAO is about ready to tank the beginning of January!
Wow!!! Been a while! Well I “marked it down” and I’m still waiting for those two storms this month that will bury us in snow!! Oops never mind we just had our 13th day in a row of above normal temps and zero snow!!! We are now well below average for season snowfall!! Keep the streak going!! Who knew?!??!?? ROCKY (Rockford) >>>>>BREAKING NEWS>>>>we will see 2 major snowstorms by the end of December! Get ready to ROCK n ROLL! Reply December 11, 2018 9:37 am ROCKY (Rockford) Wow we actually had an exactly average temp day! This is the first… Read more »
Thanks for listening and following my comments so intently! It is appreciated and keep it up!
Gotta keep score, so far the RDB is 0 for 10,000 on it’s predictions!!
Make room for the usual remaining 50-60 inches of snow. No headlines here.
Happy Birthday to your wife !!!
One more non weather note, gas prices here in Zeeland have dropped to a crazy low price of $1.84! I didn’t think I would ever see prices this low again! Cheap enough now to just spray it on the ground.
What place? I am going to Zeeland for PT in the tomorrow I would love to get some at that price.
So if the 10 day forecast holds, every day will end up being above average. That would run our incredible stretch to 20+ days in a row above average, maybe even beating our 22 day stretch we had back in August. That would be two impressive streaks within 4 months or so of each other. I’m guessing that has not happened very often, at least not in recent years. By comparison, the below average stretch we had in November only topped out around 16 days in a row.
Happy birthday to your wife Michael!
Off the over and over post on here… Happy Birthday MV’S wife …INDY!!
Happy Birthday to Mrs. V!!!
On the weather front there is some light freezing rain fell here, The temperature is now up to 33 so that should not be a major issue today. Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Lansing are still all on track for a top ten and maybe even a top 5 or better in the least amount of snow fall for December. It should be noted that in the past ALL winters seasons with a such a low December snow fall ended up with well below averages snow fall for the season. So I would expect the same to happen this winter season.… Read more »
Below average snow? Don’t tell that to Rocky, Indy, or WOOD that all predicted a very snowy winter!
Don’t look now but winter just started and we will be getting hammered! Mark It down!
12 warm days in a row and counting! We have now turned the corner on gaining back daylight and spring won’t be too far away
Not long at all Mookie!
