Hello Friends!
Saturday night, the winds were calm, the night brisk, the streets were quite, the front of the house looked as such:
It was forecasted and didn't come as a surprise but it did start snowing round about midnight. When the sun rose a strong dusting covered the ground and while flakes continued to fall, the locals scoffed and talk again of how the weather man was wrong. In fact some say it even started to rain. Snow storm indeed.
Then around one o'clock the wind picked up from the north and visibility began to shrink dramatically by the hour. The snow began coming down, but not really down but sideways. Slowly mutterings changed from a wimpy front to that of how many inches to expect and the number grew faster then a rumor at a high school
48 hours and 2 blizzard warnings later the sun shone its head today. When all was said and done the norther thumb of Michigan received anywhere from 9-15 inches. Snow squalls around the area were said to reach over ten feet. As we ventured out to run errands I saw snow that reminded more of the Dakotas then being in the Mid-West.
Stay warm and safe!
