Weather Journal 4 April

Here we've got wind roaring thru the trees, windows rattling and a dusting of snow on our wooden deck. That translates into number of 30 degrees with a 35 WNW wind with gusts to 40.

On the national map there's a tight looking low centered over Lake Huron. The barometer bottomed at 1003 MB and is now up to 1007.

We are also under a wind advisory. This aims to tell people that winds of 30 to 45 MPH are expected and that driving maybe difficult.

Going forward today 1-3 inches of snow is expected. It will be much worse to the north with a blizzard warning for Marquette.

While all this is going on I'll be looking for a copy of the new Time magazine and it's list of 51 things we can do.
