Winter Water Drops by Superior Seasons
The folks at Michigan Storm Chasers share a detailed statewide Michigan weather forecast every morning that you should definitely incorporate into your daily feed. On Facebook they share that although we will see temps above freezing for most of the state, even topping 50 degrees in southern Michigan, temps will drop later in the day, potentially precipitously in what is known as a “flash freeze”. A flash freeze happens when rain has fallen, completely stopped, and then shortly afterward air temperatures drop from the 40s or 50s down into the 20s or colder. Ryan explains is all in their excellent video.
Michael shared this photo 13 years & one day ago on December 17, 2012, remarking that it was strange to see rain in December in the UP. Here are a couple more he shared to our Absolute Michigan group on Flickr, and you can see more in his The UP Eh! gallery.

The snow and red berries and red house complement each other. It’s a shame to have this flash freeze weather as everything was cleared up so nicely and this morning it was not treacherous to walk, although still a bit dicey at the park where I walked, so I stayed on the snowy grass. I did see MSC’s explainer of the difference and I am sure I used those terms interchangeably all along.

It might be for months of wearing Yak Traks after looking at MSC’s UP forecast! And our own today was not so great either … my 2025 walking regimen goal has been trashed by this cold and ice, not to mention the heat, humidity and wildfire smoke.
