28 here also, but with a lot of frost. Had many hours of calm winds here. Looking at obs from Grand Rapids, it looks like winds stayed up a little. That could've made the difference. Spent about 8 hours with temps at/below 32 here. Not a problem though because I've learned from getting burned in the past to just prepare accordingly (outdoor plants) in case it gets colder than expected. It was sort of an ideal scenario to end up on the colder side of expectations because yesterday was very chilly with the wind off the lake -- high only made it to the low 40s -- which gave us a head start on nocturnal cooling, and then the wind slackened and eventually went calm.

Spring rain does hit different. Warmer and vibrant, great smells out there this morning

Rain starts early tomorrow for a couple days. Highs near 70. ️

Well, I’m tired of endless rhetoric and no action. meantime, we do stupid things like this:

ABSOLUTELY SICKENING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dusty in the desert

And then there's everyone's favorite corrupt Justice. Only the best and brightest for SCOTUS.

Rain

The weather has stupefied itself again.

1/4” of rain so far this morning.

.24” so far on the day, 2.60” for the month, 16.99” for the year. 46 degrees and moderate rain and a wet deck. Also breezy!

I actually took a short video of the moistness on my property last evening, the dripping sounds were amazing! IMG_4488.mov

50 degrees here with light rain and .14 in the bucket since midnight.

Rain in May and June is really soothing... totally different sights and sounds. I have so many videos on my phone from years past. I just don't want it happening all the time... like May and the first half of June in 2022. A little too much of a good thing.

Nice rain this morning moving up out of Kansas. First of many chances in the next 4 days. Things are really greening up. Trees just starting to bud out.

It got down to 28 here in MBY and while it it cold there is not much if any frost here.

The official H/L yesterday was 52/35 there was no rainfall the sun was out 91% of the time. The highest wind gust was 26 MPH out of the NW. For today the average H/L is 62/41 the record high of 86 was set in 1915 and the record low of 22 was set in 1967 the record rainfall amount of 1.40” was in 2009. The most snowfall of 3.0” fell in 1976. Last year the H/L was 48/32. The overnight low here in MBY was 28 and at the current time with clear skies it is 32. It looks like the official low so far is 29 and that will be the coldest low for this April. That would be the warmest minimum for any April since 2010 and the 5th warmest minimum for any April at Grand Rapids.

51F and cloudy.

Cool day ahead. High 78. We have rain coming in the next 3 days. 80-83* for High. Farmers happy I’m sure.

It's been years if ever I've had a rainfall forecast like this 4-6 inches. Severe weather also possible 3 straight days with Saturday and Sunday being especially dangerous.

I don’t know any people like that. Those I know see it for what it is. Politics, bs, void of average American’s concerns and needs. The minutia may be the secret sauce of American politics but most people just want a good sandwich.

Heard a lot of that on my walk last night. That, and I was probably hearing the forest bloom in real time as millions of leaves grew and slowly brushed up against one another on a massive scale, making for little pops along the way. There was no wind, no rain.

I agree. I love to hear the water dripping from the leaves. We aren’t fully leafed out yet, but in a week or two we will be.

Frogs are preaching to the choir tonight. Having a late night smoke on the porch and it’s noisy out here. Between the frogs and snoring dogs.

Lol. That is dumb. Charlie Kirk is quite obviously a charlatan on the right.
