    Right where I want to be.
    Just talked with eldest daughter and she said they have about 7" on the ground and it's still coming down pretty hard.
    She had talked to our grandson who's at MSU and he said about the same there.
    We've got about 1/2" from what I can tell looking out the window.

    Oh, I don't like the looks of that snow one bit! Cold, wet, slippery. Not what I want, but then I not very good about getting my requests filled when it comes to the weather. Our last winter was from hell for sure. Just evil.
    This year, my son lives here so I'm not going to let old man winter bother me anymore than keeping me a shut in.

    We only got 6-7" here. I haven't even put the snow plow on and I won't. It will melt.

    Yeah that bright sunshine today did a job on it already, with the forecast we have, it won't be around very long.
