1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,339
Good morning, Northern Michigan.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,059
And this is Cup of Traverse City for

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,279
01/05/2026.

4
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:08,099
I'm Mike.

5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,359
And, today, I'm gonna age myself a little

6
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:14,320
bit. But, first, let's, take a look at

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:14,980
the weather.

8
00:00:15,384 --> 00:00:17,385
As you guys might have noticed, if you're

9
00:00:17,385 --> 00:00:18,125
around here,

10
00:00:18,905 --> 00:00:20,685
some snow fell last night.

11
00:00:21,144 --> 00:00:24,105
I would guess probably three to five inches

12
00:00:24,105 --> 00:00:26,505
ish in my yard. I had to shovel

13
00:00:26,505 --> 00:00:29,144
my way into the studio this morning, but,

14
00:00:29,385 --> 00:00:30,285
I got here

15
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:32,060
and all is well.

16
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,760
So for the rest of the day, patchy

17
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,399
snow, freezing rain before 10AM, cloudy with a

18
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:38,760
high near 35,

19
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,399
south wind around five becoming west in the

20
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:41,899
afternoon.

21
00:00:43,914 --> 00:00:44,895
More precipitation

22
00:00:45,274 --> 00:00:48,314
is a 30% chance. Cloudy tonight with a

23
00:00:48,314 --> 00:00:51,054
low around thirty and a calm wind.

24
00:00:51,515 --> 00:00:54,634
And Tuesday, rain showers before 1PM,

25
00:00:54,634 --> 00:00:57,210
and then rain and snow showers likely high

26
00:00:57,210 --> 00:01:00,570
near 37. Calm wind and becoming south around

27
00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:02,909
five miles an hour. Chance precipitation

28
00:01:03,289 --> 00:01:04,430
is 80%.

29
00:01:05,209 --> 00:01:07,069
Little or no snow accumulation

30
00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:07,950
expected.

31
00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:09,790
Okay. So

32
00:01:10,515 --> 00:01:13,234
how I'm gonna date myself here is I

33
00:01:13,234 --> 00:01:14,295
am going to,

34
00:01:16,114 --> 00:01:17,334
remember back,

35
00:01:17,715 --> 00:01:19,954
when I was a kid. And on a

36
00:01:19,954 --> 00:01:22,215
day like this, we would all be huddling

37
00:01:22,275 --> 00:01:23,575
around the radio.

38
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:27,141
And, yeah, I know TV existed, but TV

39
00:01:27,141 --> 00:01:29,680
was not fast at telling us when the

40
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,819
schools were closed.

41
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:33,760
And, the radio was the fastest. You had

42
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,739
to wait till the

43
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,125
break between songs or or whatever whatever you

44
00:01:38,125 --> 00:01:40,364
were listening to. News talk really didn't wasn't

45
00:01:40,364 --> 00:01:41,025
a thing.

46
00:01:41,405 --> 00:01:42,784
This is seventies, eighties,

47
00:01:44,364 --> 00:01:47,004
radio, so, you know, that dates me right

48
00:01:47,004 --> 00:01:47,905
there. But

49
00:01:48,525 --> 00:01:50,939
used to wait around the radio and hope

50
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:53,180
that we heard our school. So I'm gonna

51
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:55,520
read the school closing list for this morning,

Wolverine Community Schools are closed. Okay. That's what

170
00:06:27,264 --> 00:06:29,185
we woulda heard on the radio. Of course,

171
00:06:29,185 --> 00:06:31,105
the DJ probably would have done it a

172
00:06:31,105 --> 00:06:31,925
little faster.

173
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:32,589
But,

174
00:06:33,389 --> 00:06:36,269
anyway and Traverse City, I didn't see them

175
00:06:36,269 --> 00:06:37,810
in the list at all. So

176
00:06:38,110 --> 00:06:40,269
I think Traverse City is just running as

177
00:06:40,269 --> 00:06:40,769
usual.

178
00:06:41,550 --> 00:06:42,050
So

179
00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:44,430
I guess that's good. Don't wanna have to

180
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:46,055
make up days at the end of the

181
00:06:46,055 --> 00:06:47,895
year, but this this year hasn't been bad.

182
00:06:47,895 --> 00:06:49,175
The way they do that around here is

183
00:06:49,175 --> 00:06:50,714
they get so many snow days,

184
00:06:51,014 --> 00:06:52,615
and then they gotta make them up at

185
00:06:52,615 --> 00:06:55,495
the end of the school year in June.

186
00:06:55,495 --> 00:06:55,995
So

187
00:06:56,535 --> 00:06:59,210
or they'll, they'll make their spring break a

188
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:01,230
little shorter sometimes, but,

189
00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:03,129
you know, we'll have to do that this

190
00:07:03,129 --> 00:07:05,150
year. I don't think, but we'll see.

191
00:07:05,521 --> 00:07:07,521
And we're actually supposed to get into the

192
00:07:07,521 --> 00:07:09,461
forties later this week. So,

193
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,660
yeah. The the weather around here is

194
00:07:12,961 --> 00:07:14,581
crazy. Catch you tomorrow.
