Rain showers, 57. Windows open feels good.

Rain showers moving through this morning, maybe even a thundershower later. Temps should stay in the low 60's with the rain today and probably not get above that through Monday with highs generally in the upper 50's and low 60's and nighttime lows in the 40's. Garden will not like this weather but for me it's refreshing. Along with the cool temps, daily rain chances as well which is def nice after the extended dry period.

Sun finally broke through about 2 hours ago. 79/66 with a heat index of 81. Gusty south wind keeping it nice especially in the woods. Hoping for at least a1/2 to 3/4’s tonight

Fog, low clouds with temps in the mid 60's this morning should give way to a very warm and humid day... 82 is forecast with dews as high as mid 60's. Cool weather in the 60's looks to follow for the next week. Interestingly, the bugs have not been that bad. I think the heavy frost put a hurting to the noseeums and the dry weather has kept the skeeters in check. Have noticed some blk flies on the increase but nothing too annoying yet.

Beautiful Sunday morning already in the mid-60's... should reach mid 70's. Smoking a pork butt. Could use some rain, .05" yesterday Been splitting and stacking all week from a couple trees that fell two years ago. About 65% done with this winter's wood.

They'll eat worms and some crawling bugs but they're not gonna chase down a flying bug. They are peckers.

Warm and windy over this way. 76 this afternoon with dew around 50. Feels pretty good, wind keeping bugs at bay.

Weather station read 33 at 5 am this morning with a heavy frost. Hopefully last of the season! Cool spots: Baraga Plains, Baraga County 25 Stonington, Delta County 26 Champion, Mqt County 27 Doe Lake, Schoolcraft County 28 Marquette Sawyer 32

As expected, most of the N woods of MI, WI and MN are under a frost advisory tonight. Beautiful day under 100% sun with a high of 59, chilly north wind. Currently sitting at 58/30. The temp will fall quickly as the fun falls below the hills south and west of me. Quick warm up to around 70 tomorrow.

Looking at the forecast map, interior parts of the yoop will likely see some freezing temps tomorrow night. I should be around 35 but will take no chances as that's solid frost territory and with the hills and valleys locally, colder pockets do form around here. Probably will be the last frost for me as my proximity to the lake makes it more difficult moving forward but I have seen 30's for lows in June, July, and August and in fact, in interior areas 30's are fairly common from time to time in the summer.

Point has 38 tonight and 35 tomorrow night but inland a bit, upper 20’s and low 30’s tomorrow night. To be safe will have to cover a few things as I have already planted heartier veggies.

Spent most of my time as a kid living in N Indiana in a small town In between Ft Wayne and South Bend... it was rural but still busy and heavily populated. Growing up I had always wanted to live in a truly remote area and on top of that I really disliked the heat and humidity of the corn belt, loved wintertime and snow, so this area was a no brainer for me. Not to mention I'm a fairly introverted person anyway so the lack of people suited me well. The closest town to me is Big Bay which has a population of 381 but has also lost 33% of its population since 2020 for whatever reason. It's a small hunting, camping town that sees a bit of a bump in activity during the summer and autumn months from tourists but a literal ghost town in winter. It has a small general store with gas and the basics... I can be there in 15 min. Marquette, the biggest city in the UP with a population around 20k, has all the necessities, some decent restaurants and a few big box stores and is a 25-30 min trip, depending on the weather. Close enough but also far enough away that the summer tourists don't bother me. Occasionally I do go downstate and back to Indiana for different things and the traffic, the people and the hustle can be a bit overwhelming but reminds me exactly why I live where I do, down a dead-end dirt road in the middle of Michigan's n woods.

That’s what makes it so great. If I had to live in Texas I’d probably kill myself and if I had to live in Chicago I’d kill somebody. To each their own.

It's "garbage" free.

Ya don't say.

What's your March-May total? Seems like you've been ground zero for rain.

45 degrees this afternoon down in Big Bay picking up mail. Hoping for another soaking rain tonight. Cool weekend in the 60's on tap with some more rain chances.

Don’t get your panties in a bunch. In general, things seem about 2 weeks ahead of last year. I have seen it this early, and just as late as well. 2015 didn’t have a full canopy until June 10th ish.

This is my ash, it's just off my deck as well. Well behind most trees.

These are maple but there's plenty of ash and they're leafing out as well but well behind, maybe 20% leaf out. Two weeks earlier than last year.

1.2" of much needed rain, everything is lush and green. Looks like some snow could skirt the northern portion of L Superior tonight. Looking off my backyard deck, 17 days ago vs today. 60 to 75% leaf out.

68, sunny with a light breeze. Should reach low 70's today. Yesterday hit 82 for the high and it felt too warm. I have zero tolerance for heat anymore. After the warm day yesterday the mosquitos and the noseeums are out in full force. The noseeums are the worst, they aim for the eyes and ears and bite like a mf'r. They'll peak in 2-3 weeks and last about 6 weeks. Too early for the black flies and deer flies, maybe another few weeks.
