As the southern boys would ask.  "What is that white stuff?"

It hit the low 30s today so we had a couple of inches melt.  I was in Bowling Green this afternoon/evening and they barely had ground cover.  I guess 43 miles makes more of a difference that I thought.  I was there making phone calls for my cousin who is running for US Representative.  Keep your fingers crossed cause if he wins we will have a representative with an A+ NRA record.

What's so nice about that .. sounds like work.  We do that kinda stuff in the summer when the thermometer tops out at 80*. :rolleye:

Sure envy you Jimbo! ;yes;   It's rare if we can get one snow to fall on another. The previous one always melts before the next one comes. :madd:

It seems to have quit, for a while anyway. It's suppose to fire back up tonight again.

I haven't had working windshield wipers on all three vehicles for two days now. The little vent grid right below them on all three vehicles was filled solid, clear to the top of the hood with ice. Spent most of the morning pouring buckets of hot water into those vent grids to free up the linkage arms  :doh2:
Now I got a skating rink in the driveway. :biggrin:

It's been VERY snowy in the UP of Michigan. The snowfall total for the first five days of December was 36" of the white stuff. The hunting this winter may be tough and very expensive. MI VHNTR

I was in a deer stand Saturday afternoon, and it was 75 degrees.  Sunday morning it was a chilling 44 degrees.
Oh dear, no deer, but I did see a bunch of turkeys which are out of season.

On the east side of Lake Michigan we are getting what is left of that storm. I don't mind the snow but I really don't think I want 2 feet over night! Right now there is about 6 inches but it is still coming down. Yesterday it was 50. All the snow we had melted.

Last night when this system started coming through we had a thunder storm IN DECEMBER! One of the neighbors trees is now in my back yard, guess I need to get the chain saw out!

Yeah it's too cold for me  :holdon:  :hahaha:
Actually it's 12 above right now. Not really too bad.

I actually was going to try and slip out today. I doubt the snow cover is this bad in the woods, with all the tree cover, but we'll find out.
