Zoom-Zoom, limewave and beccaB - fellow Michiganders sounds like the mid and western part of the state got hit harder. Our actual snowfalls were far short of the predictions and after seeing pictures of out west, Chicago, Indiana, Illinois and hearing the tales of Massachusetts here on this forum I am very glad we did not get what was predicted. The freezing rain and ice storms are awful just like those huge accumulations of snow. Well it's one wintery winter.

I'm just north of Ann Arbor but about 20 miles north of where I live the snowfalls were much higher.

Thoughts go out to all of you who are suffering from this and for enduring the ordeal.

It will be interesting to see the economic impact from this when the numbers start coming in. It's going to be very high.

Stay safe and warm!
