Good morning guys. In the mid 20s again with wind chills down in the teens. Got some lake effect snow flurries this morning, enough to just cover the ground with a dusting. We're looking at our first considerable snow on Saturday - 1-3". Northern Michigan has been getting some significant lake effect snow over the past couple days - majority of areas reporting 3-8" this morning but Alba has reported 11" and Mancelona 15.8" - they're looking at around another 6" through tonight.

Good morning guys.

'Feels like' 7 degrees this morning. We're suppose to get 1-3" of snow tomorrow, most falling in the morning hours. Maybe another 1" on Monday. If it's going to be cold it might as well snow!

Good morning everyone. Just got back from PA testing robotic machinery for a week, the fun part of my job for sure!

We got our first snow of the year, it started yesterday afternoon. We got about 2" of sleet snow mix. Maybe another inch or 2 more today. It should be enough for the kids to sled on.

Good morning guys. Mid 20s this morning, appears we'll be starting near 0 tomorrow morning.

We got about 1.5" of snow on Saturday. Today/tonight we're looking at another 2-4", starting midday with the heaviest this evening.

Good morning guys. First snowy commute of the season. We got 4.3" of snow yesterday so we have roughly 6" on the ground right now. We're looking at another 3-5" of snow tomorrow from yet another clipper moving through and then possibly a dusting on Friday.

'Feels like' 7 degrees this morning. Tomorrow morning we're suppose to be starting out near -10.

The new pup is doing well and is getting accustomed to the snow... she's 12 weeks old now and weighs 5.5 pounds.

Afternoon everyone, sorry haven't been posting much lately, just been going through a separation/divorce and things haven't been fun or pretty lol, I'm in good spirits about the whole thing as it was a long time coming, but what can you do?

I still have my monte and it is at 397 000 kms so just about to break another milestone, still looks the same and runs like new

Quick question, is it possible to order old calendars? When I was finally able to get my stuff out of the house, she wrote all over the picture of my car in my calendar and I would like to see if I can get another one

Hope everyone is enjoying their day, I am not looking forward to going home and shoveling about 6 inches of snow

Good morning guys! I'll be clearing snow again tonight too, quite a bit of it.

We're under a winter storm warning and the snow has already started falling here. We're expecting 5-8" of snow today into tonight, the heaviest during the evening commute. NWS is predicting a period of snowfall rates in the range of 1-2"/hr.

I feel your pain ohara. I am 11 months into a seperation/divorce. As hard as I have tried it is not going pretty. It's been downright nasty. My divorce will be final in 21 days.
Keep your head up!
