I should see the grass in the yard by the end of the day.

Sun came out around 11 AM, the driveway and the roads are clear and dry already.

And to think I was riding the bike yesterday.

Here we go again. 30 minutes to go 12 miles home. Roads are snow covered and drifting.

1 hour 20 minutes to drive 11 miles (into Grand Rapids) yesterday morning. And that was with lighter traffic since a lot of schools had closed.... Always remember a full cup of coffee before heading out the door--makes the lengthy commute more enjoyable, if that's possible.

Nah, wasn't even close to [the instrument panel character whose name I won't mention] weather. I was just a fine spitting this morning.

There are places that you can go if you don't want to be around snow.

Michigan is not one of those places.

Good luck.

There are. Some of us are anchored more securely than others.

We had our first hard frost a few mornings back.

No "blinky" to watch for here. The Japanese must think you have enough brain cells to know when it may be icy.

If you have done 50 or more Michigan winters, you can whine all you want. It is the precursor to becoming a snowbird.

On that note. Enough snow. I'm good. All set. Good, thanks. That's plenty.

LOL! No whine. Just looking out the window and reporting snowfall. It was a good run for 2016.

Yeah- while out hunting yesterday morning we picked up an inch or more- most of it melted as it came down, especially early. Probably would have been 4 or so. Most of it is gone now, but I still have a white roof and portions of the yard.

I love it.

No snow here (yet) just some light frost.

Riding in 60F weather saturday, 4 inches of snow this morning and 30F. No riding in the next few days.

Enticers, and YES! I put them away ready to ride.

Our snow is mostly gone today (still in some shadowed areas), but the roar of motorcycles will soon be replaced with the two stroke sound and glorious smell...

It's been in the 60s with lows in the high 30s for several days now. BRRRRRRRrrrrrr

But it did make fermenting my German pilsner easier to temp control.

We got about 3 or so- the pavement is all melted and dry, the lawns are probably 50% melted. That said, it looks like the lake effect snow machine is gonna crank up later this week with colder temps...
