Maybe I should listen to the DW and go pull the slide in before we get hammered with wet, heavy snow. Trouble is she's not always right, but she's never wrong.

We were supposed to get anywhere from 10-20" last night. Woke up this morning ready to dig my way to the pole barn to get the tractor. (AFTER COFFEE of course). Anyway, looked outside to see maybe 3" on the ground. So, either it's all still "up there" headed to SAABDOCTOR or something "fizzled" along the way...... Either way, I'm hoping that everyone gets the same "break" that we got last night.

Of course, the Great Lakes are down about 36" in total volume, we need the water, but not all at once !!!!!

Happy weekend, everyone. Let's hope all are as "fortunate" as we were this morning!

Snow

Norton Shores, Michigan (the other West Coast). We got a little over 12'' of WET snow yesterday afternoon and evening. It is starting to feel like a real Michigan winter. This probably will not help the lake level much but any thing is welcome at this point.
