Unlike many other places in Michigan, I’d say we got off quite easy with this latest winter storm.  We only got about 5 inches, and with the sun out, it’s melting pretty fast.  Counties south of us got more snow and even had some thunder and lightning with it.  Even Lansing reported some thunder-snow.  Today is bright and sunny, and just a lovely winter day.  For those who love winter sports, they won’t have it nicer than what today is.

Our 11:45 AM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 86%, and winds are from the WSW at 3-6 mph.
