Yesterday was fairly mild with drizzle, then it changed to snow later, and became a moderate snow shower by midnight.  Everything was covered with heavy, wet snow this morning, which is sticking to all the bushes and trees.  It is also quite windy, so not a comfortable day to be out and about.  I’m glad that we cancelled our trip to Detroit today since I’m hearing that the roads were pretty bad.  Our snow cover is about 1.5″ and there was  0 .78″ in my rain gauge melted down.
