spring

The National Weather Service is forecasting a warmer and drier than average spring for Michigan.

This is the beginning of severe weather in West Michigan. Do you have a plan of action for you and your family?

Remember to set those clocks forward Saturday night as daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. EST Sunday. With the change, it is going to be lighter sooner. That means changes in routines a bit, whether that's driving, bicycling or walking.

I know the calendar says spring is just around the corner. However, with all the snow and cold it's hard to believe it, right?

I'm really big into atmosphere. It may sound weird, but there are just times in my life when the way it looks or feels outside makes things perfect. Maybe it's going to a hickey game in December and it's snowing and cold outside. Or a perfect summer afternoon with that deep blue Michigan sky on the way to a ball game.

Today is the first day of Spring. And even before the actual spring happens, an event that REALLY ushers in Spring has already occured.

I am a guy. No way around it. I like sports. I'm a big fan of steak and potatoes. I don't really own any pink shirts. And there's one other thing I like...

So I have a friend visiting the last two weeks of April. He asked if there were any cool events or other things going on in Grand Rapids... After looking around and checking things out.. the short answer was no! I think April is a hard time for indoor and outdoor events...
