Believe it. It is blowing and snowing. And as they are saying the worst is yet to come. Can't wait to spend tomorrow playing with my fabrics.

Well since I got home, about 90 minutes ago, we have gotten about a quarter inch or more of ice. Blergh

Ice is really bad.. We had some of that before our snow... At least with snow you have traction.
Stay safe!

It's 8:30 ish and all we have here so far is a little dusting and a little rain. My daughter lives 3 hours from here (other side of Novi, Mi) and she has about 6 inches allready. Maybe we are in the dead zone... or slow zone... the last time they said we were going to get 6 inches... we got about a half an inch. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining, just dont trust the weather to the tv. hahaha we all have our little quirks... that's mine.

It looks like a lot of Michigan is getting pretty well blasted... we have about a half inch but it is blowing and drifting. Two of my 6 kids have checked in, all safe and warm. The other three will probably call in the morning. I dont worry about me, but my heart goes out to people who have to go out. Everyone stay safe, please dont go out in this unless you really have to.

well, central ma got 9 inches today.. we are having a nice little lull now, but we are supposed to get another 13-14 inches when it starts again, and ice / sleet in the midst of that...

i have to call into work in the am to see if we are running... i hope not..driving in the snow doesn't bother me, but sure hate to drive on the ice

besides, i have a lot of sewing to do!

Where are you at in Michigan...it's yucky here...we went to the store at about 8:30pm...only had to go about 3 miles...the windshield iced up on us and it was impossible to see. We cleaned it off before we started the drive back home...and again, icy blades and frozen windshield. We have about 6" I'd say...and the blowing is pretty strong.

I'm about 11 miles from the Michigan/Ohio line on the Lenawee/Monroe Co border...it's pretty messy.
