Midwest Storm

Anybody else "enjoying" this storm right now? I'm on the west coast of MI, and the wind just blew a window out. Supposed to have blizzard conditions tomorrow too, perfect for my "before sunrise commute".......

Take care in the white stuff, though up there y'all do much better in it than the worthies in this state. We get snow, everybody panics.

Hey, I like snow!

The last time I drove in S. Carolina the people there went nuts when it snowed just a little bit. The fools were driving 5 mph on the road shoulder when there was nothing more than a 3' diameter patch of blown snow every 100 yards or so... Kind of freaked them out when I was doing speed limit in the left hand lane tho...

Where in WI are you going? I wouldn't be too worried about the snow in WI. I'm in the NW part of the state and it's cold but very little snow. It snowed 1" the other day and the forcast is for warm (for this time of year) and little in the way of precipitation until early next week. I believe the line of snow the weather people are talking about is north of here, from Fargo to the arrowhead of MN, around Duluth

sandrat- Here in Plainwell got lots of wind, no major damage and the roads are clear. Lawn chairs are who knows where...

Heard a tree fell on a fire truck that was responding to an accident yesterday night.
