Good morning, Northern Michigan.
And this is Cup of Traverse City for
01/05/2026.
I'm Mike.
And, today, I'm gonna age myself a little
bit. But, first, let's, take a look at
the weather.
As you guys might have noticed, if you're
around here,
some snow fell last night.
I would guess probably three to five inches
ish in my yard. I had to shovel
my way into the studio this morning, but,
I got here
and all is well.
So for the rest of the day, patchy
snow, freezing rain before 10AM, cloudy with a
high near 35,
south wind around five becoming west in the
afternoon.
More precipitation
is a 30% chance. Cloudy tonight with a
low around thirty and a calm wind.
And Tuesday, rain showers before 1PM,
and then rain and snow showers likely high
near 37. Calm wind and becoming south around
five miles an hour. Chance precipitation
is 80%.
Little or no snow accumulation
expected.
Okay. So
how I'm gonna date myself here is I
am going to,
remember back,
when I was a kid. And on a
day like this, we would all be huddling
around the radio.
And, yeah, I know TV existed, but TV
was not fast at telling us when the
schools were closed.
And, the radio was the fastest. You had
to wait till the
break between songs or or whatever whatever you
were listening to. News talk really didn't wasn't
a thing.
This is seventies, eighties,
radio, so, you know, that dates me right
there. But
used to wait around the radio and hope
that we heard our school. So I'm gonna
read the school closing list for this morning,
01/05/2026,
and it's alphabetical.

we woulda heard on the radio. Of course,
the DJ probably would have done it a
little faster.
But,
anyway and Traverse City, I didn't see them
in the list at all. So
I think Traverse City is just running as
usual.
So
I guess that's good. Don't wanna have to
make up days at the end of the
year, but this this year hasn't been bad.
The way they do that around here is
they get so many snow days,
and then they gotta make them up at
the end of the school year in June.
So
or they'll, they'll make their spring break a
little shorter sometimes, but,
you know, we'll have to do that this
year. I don't think, but we'll see.
And we're actually supposed to get into the
forties later this week. So,
yeah. The the weather around here is
crazy. Catch you tomorrow.
