Finally….some SUN!

Sunshine has been a very rare treat this month of December, so it was great to see the pockets of blue for part of our Wednesday. On average, December is the cloudiest month of the year here in West Michigan, featuring a measly 22 percent of available sunshine. This year, however, December has been even cloudier than average. 7 of the first 10 days of this month have recorded a ZERO in the sunshine column. This means skies were completely cloudy on those days. On the other three days, one of them recorded only 3 percent of available sunshine and one recorded 17 percent. Yesterday, the calculation came to a whopping 31 percent. For those of us who desperately needed to see the sunshine, it was certainly a very welcome appearance!

Any more sunny days ahead of us? I hope there is more sunshine in the forecast. This time of the year, I will enjoy it while we have it.
Yep, the sun was out. It actually felt nice enough to not wear a jacket! And of course, my 4 year old saw that the sun was out and HID his winter jacket from me… didn’t think he needed to wear it again because it was summer again.. still haven’t found it! Stinker!
