Yeah this year is crazy, and first time ever a #16 has beat a #1 in the first round. Not really happy with Michigan's play overall in the first two games of the tournament but hopefully they can pick it up moving forward. The buzzer beater to beat Houston was awesome!

Good morning guys, FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!! Now if the weather would just cooperate. Our mornings have been really cold for about the past week. We're at 14 degrees this morning but going up to a high of 42. This IS like the fifth day in a row of sun for us so I guess that's a bonus.

Sounds like us a few weeks ago. It was around mid-50s to mid-60s for a few days and then we got 7" of snow.

Good Morning MCF, it was 30 degrees here this morning and we have been getting a little mix of snow rain a frizzle in the last 24 hours.
I is just difficult to get warmed up.
I was standing by the fireplace off an on most of the morning. Getting about done with this winter for sure can't wait till we get some consistent spring time weather.

Wow, so there's rumors of possible entities interested in buying and redeveloping the old Michigan Central Station in Detroit, Ford being one of them. Ford has been looking for space in Detroit for employees, specifically for autonomous and electric vehicle development. The Station was built in 1914 and has been vacant since 1988 when Amtrak ended its service there.

Good morning. Happy Spring! Woke up to an inch of snow this morning, not uncommon here in the springtime though. The grass is green the flowers are blooming and it's common for us to get a little Springtime snow and then be 50 the next day. Think that's why I love it here in VA.

Hope you all have a safe and fun day!
