Just checked the weather forecast for today.

Blizzard warning starting around 8am this morning and lasting until
early tomorrow. 12-14 inches of snow with 50 mph winds.

Going back to bed.




Turns out the 12-14 inches was from Thursday evening's forecast.
The latest update this morning calls for more. We are located
just below the "m" in Plymouth.

Richard would it be tacky to say you ought to be used to it by now?



Tim, the older you get the less used to it you become.

Absolutely right. I really think you'd be happier in south Florida,
at least in the wintertime.

Same here. Our pool was called Lake Ontario and it typically didn't
hit 70 until July.

Our "event" turned out to be just a dusting that has already melted. It's hovering around 34, but will hit 20 tonite. By next Wed. it's 65, and next weekend back to the low 70's. Buddy (the black Lab) is happy because he gets to come inside when it's below 40.

I was in Traverse City and that little arm of Lake Michigan was 69.4
in August.

Snow is really starting to ramp up in intensity now. Supposed to peak
this evening then slowly ease up, ending at about 9 tomorrow morning.
One *good* thing is that it is only in the mid 20's, so the snow will be
more of the light, fluffy type rather than the heavy wet stuff. Tonight
the temp is forcast to drop to about 5 degrees (F for our Canadian friend).

I think Don figured that out
5c is summertime up there in the frozen north isn't it?

i just got back from a grocery store run. At the moment we have 6" of
powdery snow on the ground, and the temp is 20F. Our driveway, our
street and the two state roads that lead to the main highway around here
have not been plowed. The main highway has, and it is slushy. Used the
4WD (High mode) in my truck for the first time and that, combined with
its high clearance, aggressive all season tires, and manual
transmission, made the trip easy.

Wasn't trying to be disrespectful to Don. I have no reason to dislike him.

If I wait much longer my trip to the grocery store will be like this:
