Another cold morning with a temperature of 4° here in Otsego, windchill is -3°. The skies have cleared and today promises to be one of the rare sunny days we have in the winter.
We were blessed or plagued (depending on your point of view) with copious amounts of snow last week from daily synoptic events. I snow blowed again yesterday morning both my driveway along with various paths for the dogs and cats then off to my mother-in-laws house to do the same.
The snow is now almost up to the top rail on my split rail fence. This week will be a different story. We will lose some the of snow depth as is begins to pack down,
High pressure will bring fair weather the next couple days with temperatures above freezing by Wednesday. Low pressure will track south of Lower Michigan on Thursday with rain changing to snow by Friday.
No precipitation is expected until Wednesday afternoon when southerly flow brings in enough low level moisture for some drizzle or very light rain showers across the southern tier.
Good Day…….

Thanks Jack! Nice and clear out this evening too.
We have had three warmer-than-average stretches in Michigan so far this winter. Now our fourth big warm-up is on the way. This next warm-up will be a little different from the last three warm-ups. This warm-up will last, in general, at least two weeks. But this warm-up will also have a cooler-than-average day every few days. I think the coldest winter weather is done.

February has been a lot like January to start (cold). And it’s looking a lot like January to finish (warm). Do we get warm enough to finish above average again? We’ll see.
I sure hope so!! Bring on the WARMTH & MELTING!!
Crazy last year February we had several days in the 60’s this February has not even hit 40* degrees wonderful Winter sofar .. INDYDOG14!!
Yep, had 62 degrees on February 20th and 60 on the 21st, but even crazier than that was the red winged black birds arrived at my feeder on February 21st!
Wow Muskegon pushing a 100 inches of snow for the year is amazing.. INDYDOG14!!
They average close to 100″ for the winter.
The sun this morning is a beautiful sight!! The mild temps coming sound great!! SPRING is just around the corner. 🙂
Not too long now! I think most of us are completely ready for Spring!!

Woohoo! Right on schedule, both model ensembles continue to show mild temps for the next 2-3+ weeks! It looks like we’ve turned the page on winter and are slowly transitioning into spring.
The powder was also nice last weekend for skiing.
Big temperature spread this AM the airport is reporting 16° but here at my house I clear skies and +4 while in the far back yards cold sport it is only +2°
