It's Winter in SW Michigan

I am at the top a of a river valley here and get lake effect snow

they will 4 inches down the road a couple of miles and I will 22 inches

my town board here is a bit different half are green and half are religious

when it snows here one half thinks god made it god will take it away

the other half says the sun will melt it

all the best

Spent most of my adult life as a trucker driving up north in the snow, never bothered me while I was up yonder. But if I was in snow down south I sweated bullets as these folks just cant drive in it, either running too slow, or all out and running 75 to 80 mph on snow covered roads

Here you go. Upper Peninsula right on the lake shore and we’ve got every bit of 3 feet on the ground.

Just went out to check the chickens and the snow in my driveway is up to my knees. Time to break out the Kubota…

It must get pretty cold up by Lake Superior!.. (and up in Cannada & Alaska).

I was working on the Fort Peck indian reservation in northern Montana a few years back, and it was 40deg below zero. It was so cold there was really no moisture in the air, so it almost didn’t feel like 40 below. Very crisp and refreshing :smile:

Last February here there was 2 days of -40 and it was wild.
Driving on the highway and ppl saying ‘wtf is going on w the windows?’ As they froze from the moisture on the inside!!!
Never seen that before in my life.
