Winter

A true Michigander recently said this is the most bizarre winter. We average about 65" of snow in a winter, and this year we have had over 80" so far. Last Sunday the high was 7 degrees and we got several inches of blowing snow. It was probably the worst winter weather I've driven in because of whiteouts. Almost every school in the area was closed on Monday.

Today is a high of 42, the sun is shining and it's raining dreadfully hard. We will probably lose quite a bit of the snow today and all the standing water on the roads will freeze tonight into sheets of ice. And the forecast calls for 1-2" of snow tonight, 1-3" tomorrow, and 2-4" tomorrow night. That means we will have anything from 0-24".

We'll take some of that winter weather down here! We haven't had a really, really decent snow in years.
