Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 11:30 p.m in "The City", where the current temperature is 36° per the NWS in GR, or 38° per the display on my DTWS, in both cases under cloudy-skies. The NWS is reporting a "Real Feel" of 26° with a wind out of the southwest @ 16 mph!

We have two advisories in effect as of now. The first is a Winter Weather Advisory for Central, South-Central, Southwest, and West-Central, MI until 4:00 a.m. tomorrow. Per the NWS and our on-scene Weather Reporter, there is rain/drizzle falling which will coat the snow-covered driveway, our deck,  and the sidewalks with a layer of ice, making walking and driving conditions very hazardous. 

Second, there is a Small Craft Advisory in effect from St. Joseph to Whitehall until 7:00 a.m. Monday. Southwest winds from 15 to 25 knots with gusts up to 30 knots will change to Northwest winds that will propel waves up to 10 feet in height!

The forecast high for tomorrow is 34° under mostly-cloudy skies, with an overnight low-temperature of a very chilly 15°! However, that daytime high-temperature will be four degrees warmer than today. The sun will rise over the ice-covered vast-gardens and our deck tomorrow @ 8:16 a.m. and set later @ 5:27 p.m.

We decided to go out earlier to visit our local library, followed by a stop at Grand Haven State Park  to get a few shots of the waves as they broke over the south pier and the lighthouses, followed by a visit to the Lake Forest Cemetery.

The wind was blowing sand and snow so strongly, that focusing was nearly impossible.

But I still got a couple of good shots.

These steps lead to one of our favorite spots in Lake Forest Cemetery, the plots of the Ferry Family .

The only deer we saw was unconcerned with our presence.

Lake Forest Cemetery is adjacent to Duncan Woods, so the deer roam freely between the two. 

We finished the indoor chores, read the USA Today and the Grand Haven Tribune and worked the crossword puzzles from both. Mary accomplished more than I, as she listened to more of her book and also cross-stitched at the same time. Mostly, I read and worked the crossword puzzles.

Tomorrow, we had no set plans, but we are certain that the icy precipitation will be a sure deterrent. That's all folks. Ciao.
