    For certain we will not get what is forecast. I'd be surprised if we get much over 2" out of this. A bit further south they will probably get more than was forecast.

    But, the ground is white...

    I think you have a bit more than we do. That is okay with me though.

    6-7" total here. Now we need a little breeze to get the snow off the trees.

    So glad we didn't get any of that storm. No time for that stuff yet. Still have a few things to get put in the greenhouse to overwinter. my livingroom window looks out into the greenhouse. I still have plants blooming in there! No supplemental heat.

    We ended up with quite a bit more than the initial 1-3 they were calling for. Here are totals for towns right around where I live. Did not measure here ... let's just say we got enough.
    • Howell - 16.5"
    • Hartland - 16"
    • White Lake - 15.5"
    • Milford - 14"
    • Clarkston - 12.2"
    A little snow alien even showed up on my front porch.

    They are tough little buggers ... curious to see what they look like after the snow melts. Nice to have some color up until freeze up and first thing in spring. My 19 year old daughter made the alien; at times, still my little girl.
