Grand Rapids, Michigan temperature records began in 1892. Since then, only 12 years have produced the first official freeze in November. While many places have had a freeze, the official site at the airport has not. 2026 will be number 13 - rare company indeed. #wmiwx #miwx

Michigan photographer Bee Cee caught the shot of a lifetime tonight through his telescope. Here is a still frame of the short video he took of a flight crossing directly in front of the moon. #lunareclipse #eclipse

When the sun is out, the line would at least have some red on it. No such luck today at @FlyGRFord. 0% possible sunshine. It's been just over three months since we had a day with 0% sunshine. The last occurrence was on April 29! #wmiwx #miwx

🚨 BREAKING: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has just fallen to its lowest level since August 1983- 340.3mb. That's a 42 yr low. No matter where you stand politically, it's a remarkable statistic: America's emergency oil stockpile hasn't been this depleted since the Reagan era.
