Hope you all had a good Easter/April Fools Day. Though it was cool and breezy outside most of the time was spent in fellowship inside. Depending on where you live in the state today will probably be the warmest day of the week – unless you live in south southern Michigan. Tuesday is going to […]
February 25 1957: Mild and rainy weather prevails with lows in the 40s and highs in the 50s. The low of 47 degrees at Grand Rapids sets a record for the warmest low temperature for the date. Over an inch of rain falls as a cold front moves through. February 26 2000: Record warm weather […]
Lots of snow this month – I have dog runs I cleared out with the snow blower in my back yard. The dogs seem to be more content to porpoise through the snow ignoring my thoughtful trails. We have a large back yard full of dog tracks. My older Aussie just kind of plows his […]
It is time for our weekly look at past weather events. February 4 1838: An ice jam on the Grand River causes flooding of much of Grand Rapids during early February.

We have light snow over the area this morning – a few spots near Lansing saw around 6 inches of snow early on! It is interesting to see the radar over Lansing showing the snow rotating from northeast to south west pretty much hanging out over that area. There is a winter weather advisory for […]
A quiet weather and a slow warming trend will occur over the next several days. The warmest air will surge into the area on Sunday and Monday ahead of an approaching low pressure system. This system will provide widespread rain and windy conditions from late Sunday through Monday. A strong cold front will push through […]
Another cold morning as this blast of Arctic air holds on for a couple more days. We have 7° in Otsego with a wind chill of 0. Grand Rapids is reporting 15°, Kalamazoo is at 7°, Lansing 13° and the low teens along the lakeshore. These are all reports from 7am. Occasional light snow will […]
We have have been lucky thus far this winter with the lack of synoptic snow events as most of our snow has been from clipper systems. The cold air and lack of moisture, and a mainly north wind has limited lake effect but had built up a snow base over a few weeks rather than […]
