Winter

Winter has found its way to Michigan this week.

After a lovely Saturday with 40° weather, Sunday took a nosedive into the 20s. The cold, frigid air was here to stay. The start of the week greeted us with low temperatures, wind chills and snow. The snow that fell over the city was just a dusting. The area is supposed to receive snow late Thursday into early Friday morning. This time it will be more then just a dusting. The weather is predicting about 1-3 inches of snow.

Along with the very cold temperatures is the wind chill. This morning with the wind chills it could dip down into the -15° region. It really felt that way out there. I was wearing gloves, but my hands were so cold. It felt like I wasn't wearing any at all. I'm thinking this should be the last day of extreme weather.

After dealing with the cold for this week, the weather will change again. Starting over the weekend, the temps will climb up to freezing. That will feel like a heat wave compared to what we are dealing with now. Looking at the 10 Day Forecast, there is a chance of high30s/low 40s. I'm not a fan of winter, but that is the winter that I can tolerate. I am already looking forward to spring. Bring on the warmer weather.
