Skywarn Classes

There are two Skywarn classes on Saturday.  I will not be able to attend this year due to prior family obligations and the threat of Corvid 19 (I have respiratory issues and don’t want to take the chance of contracting it even though the chances may be small to none).

Saturday

March 14th, 2020

10:00am – 12:00pm  

Luella Collins Community Center

419 126th Avenue

Wayland, MI

Saturday

March 14th, 2020

2:00pm – 4:00pm  

Bloomingdale Schools Auditorium

629 E. Kalamazoo Street

Bloomingdale Township, MI

 

The information covered in the Skywarn class is found here on this site under the MIReady menu along with other weather training opportunities.  You can also enroll online for the course at MetEd.


You may see some fog in your area this morning.  We may flirt with temps close to 60° today which will be our warmest day for the rest of the week.  A quick shot of rain will move in this evening…

No actually it’s a bit more, probably a lot more that haven’t been identified yet.

Actually it’s at 12 in Michigan but way more than that unofficially. The health director of Ohio stated today she thinks over 100,000 people in Ohio already have it. But they have only been able to test a small sample.

Yep, it’s only going to get worse.

Get ready, a major cold front will be barreling through tonight! This will help usher in a great ski weekend up in snow country! Have fun golfing with wind chills in the low 30’s! Incredible!

The golf course is jam packed today.

Our son’s tournament has been cancelled. Last one of the season. Bummer.

Yes this virus thing is getting crazy! Maybe we need some hot weather to slow it down?

While many events are being either canceled or postponed that will not be the case at local money locations. Latest from our local venues on their “concern” for their paying customers and employees
“Van Andel Arena, DeVos Place and DeVos Performance Hall: Events will be taking place as usual. Organizers are closely monitoring the situation.”

My friend and his brothers have tix to the B1G tournament and intended on spending the weekend in Indy. It and every other remaining conference tourney has been cancelled. They are on their way back home. The NCAA tournament is still on for now, but I suspect that will be cancelled too. NBA season has been suspended. MLS season has been suspended. MLB is suspending all operations. The NHL just announced that their season is over.

My son has a hockey tournament tomorrow through Sunday. I will be surprised if it is not cancelled.

This is CRAZY!!

NCAA Tournament will be cancelled. All teams are pulling out. Too bad for MSU when they actually had a pretty good shot this year at making a little noise.

Back to the upper 50’s and possibly 60 degrees today. Next week looks warm too. Spring is popping early!

Forget golf this weekend, it will be cold! instead head up to snow country, because the conditions will be excellent! I love it!

Nub’s Nob already had to close some runs and lifts due to lack of snow. Likely more will be forced to close after 50 degrees and rain today. Sad to see even the up north ski resorts struggling this year.

Rocky (Rockford)
Rocky (Rockford)

You are 100% wrong as usual. They have so much snow on the runs they don’t even need to make snow! Get real!

Mookie

“47 of 53 runs open. Arena Glades and Tower Glades are closed until we receive more snow. Expect low snow depth and variable conditions in all glades. Caution is advised..” And they are very mild today and about to be pounded with warm rain. Absolutely horrible conditions for early March up north!

Rocky (Rockford)

You really are clueless! I will be skiing in pristine snow conditions starting Friday lasting all weekend long, while you are sitting in your basement blogging and trying to tell me about the ski conditions! Absolutely ridiculous!
