BlueMorel Loc: Southwest Michigan

A couple of snow pics of the minus 12 degree windswept snow outside on January 31 (taken through my window), and ice-covered pics taken standing on my porch this morning, Feb. 12. Snow coming down right now, more ice predicted tonight on top of it.

Interesting shots. It was 71 degrees in southern Arizona today. Lots of sunshine. The good thing about sunshine is it doesn't pile up and I don't have to shovel it. The bad thing about sunshine--melanoma.

I prefer the cold to the heat - I can dress up for the cold but you can only dress so far down for the heat. I was born in the Midwest, lived in Virginia and Oregon, and have been back in the Midwest for 30 years. I love that it's green year round here. In between snows we have green lawns.

We are two lucky people, it looks like we both live in the place we belong.

I can admit to being kinda lazy when I'm freezing
my butt off, so I also shot from my front porch :-)

Not sure how this came about. Never seen it in 20
years I've lived right here. I'd heard that the Coast
Guard ran some ice breakers upriver from here, so
mebbe somehow the debris wound up down here.
All just hearsay and guesses. Use the "+" zoomer

I don't know where you're at, but a few rivers in the lower part of Michigan have ice dams a few miles long, some causing flooding from the backup. Officials don't want to break up the ice because then the ice chunks will flow downriver and cause more problems, plus the water will just refreeze. We expect some more flooding when those rivers thaw. This has been a bad year, but it's happened before and will again. Coldest winter in 20 plus years here.
