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.


Good point, Richard...

Cold front here too but far from freezing. It may be in the 40s 1st AM
but it is just raining now. It will start warming up again after that.
Good time to get in the hot tub ;-)
I have been using the pool but if it gets much cooler I may have to
back off a bit. The Florida guys think I am nuts but after watching my
grand kids who have gotten used to 69 degree water in the summer, I
decided to man up. I remembered I grew up with 70 degree water at our
community (private) pool,

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

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

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.

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?
