Mother Nature



In Michigan, especially on the west side, we're used to snow....lots of snow. We have regular snow and then "lake effect" snow....that wonderful snow that comes from cold air hitting the warmer water off Lake Michigan.

We almost take a perverse pride in talking about how bad it gets and the conditions we drive in. This year is no different.

Last week, we spent our drives to and from work battling sub-zero temperatures, glazed ice and blowing winds and then thanks to this ever-changing weather this was followed by a few days of rain and sleet producing flood warns and ice dams.

Today, it's back to the frozen stuff. After I left church this morning (Ash Wednesday), my drive consisted of misting rain, pelting rain, sleet, pelting sleet, hail and then snow....gotta love it. Oh, I shouldn't forget the wind, too!

As I sit here, the wind is blowing and the snow is piling up. Too bad I have to work tomorrow ...it would be a great day for a book and hot chocolate! :-)

Sounds like our weather here in New Hampshire! Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this type of weather. It doesn't snow in inches here...it snows in FEET. Anything under a foot here is considered a dusting. LOL

Hope you get to experience that book and hot chocolate soon.
