Snow Storm!

We are in the middle of the worst snow storm! I haven't seen one like this since the late 70s! The snow is coming down 2 inches every hour - and sometimes more! I did go out for breakfast and my girlfriend dropped me off at the end of the driveway and it took me 8 full minutes to get through the three foot drift at the end of the drive and then plowing through the 2 foot we've already gotten!!! (Note nothing but exclamation points will do to express this really wild weather.)

My husband is at work and this is so bad I am worried about him getting home since the police (Holland, State and the sheriff's Dept.) have all said, "get off the roads!!" Such is life in the winter here in Western Michigan!

Snowfall

We are vacillating between the high 30s and rain, and the lows 20s and snow, snow, snow! This is an interesting weather phenomenon even for Michigan, and the strange thing is we already have a third of the snow we usually get during our winters and we're only in the first month of what is winter here!

Our winters usually begin in January, (sometimes the end of December) and run through February...well, sometimes mid-March, and most of our snow is accumulated in the the first two months of the year. We are, if we get the regular amounts in those first two months, for a record breaking year for snowfall!

I think that's cool, even if most people think it's yucky. Kind of bad for pot holes though...
