For Bill

Snow at Hermitage Station

Ice Lights
We got snow over ice … at least on our patio lights. Don’t want to know about the streets. Posted by Steve Pollock on Friday, January 12, 2018

Snow in Dixie
Snowing to beat the band in Music City and they’re as panicked as if General George Thomas and his Yankees was a-comin’ agin. Winter is always amusing in Dixie. Snow is purty though! Posted by Steve Pollock on Friday, January 12, 2018

Hello Autumn!
Hello Autumn. Nice to see you finally show up. But could we have something between 90 degrees yesterday and 67 today so I could use the blasted hammock at least once this year? Yeesh. Posted by Steve Pollock on Thursday, October 20, 2016

Wednesday
This pic pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the weather this week. It actually got hotter after I took this picture; it was 114 degrees later in the afternoon. God, living in the valley is hell.

Cold Weather
Cold is finally here. Temps have been frigid the past several days, with highs not hitting 50 and lows easily dipping down near freezing. The past couple of days have even necessitated gloves and a parka. A few people are still walking around in shorts but they are few and far between. The mass grumbling...

Wrong Again
It’s been back up in the mid-80s with high dewpoints for the past several days, just proving once again that trying to predict weather in Michigan is (especially if you’re a rank amateur, like me) a fool’s errand.

Autumn Is Here
Today did, in all seriousness, feel for the first time like autumn. It didn’t really get much above 60 degrees all day (it’s supposed to dip down to 36 tonight), and there was that unmistakable bite in the air that hasn’t been around for at least five months, or whenever the freak day or two...

Autumn?
Yesterday actually felt like the first hints of autumn to me — it was very hot, like it’s been for the most part for at least the past three weeks here in Ann Arbor, but it also was somewhat windy, the heat was accompanied by less humidity than it has been, and there was a...
