More Snow For Mid Michigan
There seems to be no end to these snow showers. Every day we pick up another 1/2 inch or so, just enough to keep roads icy. Most is lake effect. We currently have about 4 inches of snow cover. Our temperatures remain very cold and this is expected to continue until well into January. With the early sunsets that we have this time of year, the snow does brighten it up considerably. With these extreme temp fluctuations that have been common this entire year, I’m hoping that we will have an extended warmup in late January.
