[columns] [span6] [/span6][span6] [/span6][/columns] The photos above are of the Kalamazoo River in back of my house – the trees off shore are supposed to be on shore. These were taken with my new HD 14 megapixel video camera which also takes snapshots. Here is the video I took showing the rapid flow rate…
Another wet morning underway – we have received over 5 inches of rain thus far in Otsego for the month. I hope to get some photos and video later today or tomorrow of the Kalamazoo river behind my house. This means getting on the mudrucker boots and trudging 100 yards downhill through the woods. Sometimes…
This photo was taken by SS of the unhappy snowman, I am sure he (or she) is now is a small lump whimpering next to the tree. The only snow I see know is up on Bittersweet down the road but most snowmen don’t have the ability to bounce around like Olaf to get up…
We have had 1.90 inches of rain since midnight (through 7am) recorded by my weather station – the latest NAM model I ran this morning predicts up to another 2.5 inches before the storm system moves out tomorrow. Temperature is a balmy 58° much like a summer morning. Most of the forecast area is under…

High temperatures yesterday approached 50°. Fog and drizzle will persist this morning then rain showers will move through this afternoon as low…
First off lets take a look at our weekly weather history events: February 11 1899: Muskegon records their all-time record low of 30 below zero. Grand Rapids falls to 21 below and Lansing 22 below. 1999: A surge of warm air ahead of a cold front brings all-time record high February temperatures to much of…
Yet another cold morning with temperatures in the single digits. 6° in Kalamazoo and 8° in Grand Rapids, we have 5° here in Otsego. We should see temperatures encroaching 30 today and the 40s tomorrow. The first image to the left is the visible satellite from yesterday showing the snow cover on the ground. The…
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…
