Ah...it felt so good (psychologically) to wake up Sunday morning and see the green grass. OK, so it was muddy green, but at least it was reassuring to know that the grass was still there. I had begun to wonder if we would ever see it again. LOL
So, just for fun, I went back and checked the official records for the month of January and the first week of February. You know what? It really was as cold as it seemed in January. Going into this weekend, we had only 10 days so far this year when the temperature made it above freezing. But, alas, things are changing.
This upcoming week is looking pretty good. Monday will be a tad cool, but then we'll warm up again on Tuesday and Wednesday, then cool down a bit on Thursday and Friday. The normal daytime high should be in the upper 30s so at least we are getting back on track...and the sun is shining again, too!
Enjoy!
Looks like a typical February week is coming up for us. Temperature will be up and down as will the weather....snow then rain, then snow. Of note will be a mid-week storm system that will pull out of the midwest and likely head up through lower Michigan giving us a warm day Wednesday followed by a much colder day Thursday. We saw a similar pattern last week although I don't think we will get quite as warm the day before the cold front passes as we did last week. No 50s this week...just 40s.
Yeah, well today was a smack in the face back to reality. I really enjoyed that touch of Spring earlier in the week, but here we go, back to February-type weather. The good news is that while some overnight temperatures will dip back to the very cold levels, daytime highs will at least be near or slightly above freezing. I still see a period of below normal temperatures for the rest of the week and the weekend (normal highs should by in the upper 30s), but at least it's not going to be "January cold!"
