    They are in the same 14"range then. I've had enough already and only plowed once this season. Lol.

    Forecast of about 6" for us in Oakland County....but I have to drive to Traverse City tomorrow afternoon. Hoping is moves through quick, so I am not stuck driving in it...10-12" all the way up 75.

    I haven't yet gone outside but looks like maybe 4". All in all, a far cry from all the hype. Normal.

    We got maybe 4" where I'm at in the SW corner of the state. Will probably go out and plow a little since it's not going to just melt right off.

    Ended up just over 8" here. A few large branches from the Norway spruce in the front yard snapped. Fences around the apple trees took a beating. But we still have power...sub that is 1/4 mile away is out. Almost 200 homes out there.

    All in all, what we got was a long way from what was predicted. Oh how I wish weather forecasters would go back to forecasting weather rather than trying to make people believe it is so terribly bad out there and millions are affected.

    I don't think we will ever see that again.

    Don't like listening to anyone that "overemphasizes" all the time. :handshake:

    We a had a storm come thru Saturday that knocked down everything, we just got power back this morning. Almost every road in town was closed due to impossible to travel with telephone poles and wires in the road. a neighbor and I cleared a notch thru the trees to pass thru on our section. Slow cutting as the wires were all wrapped in White Pines and Hemlock in the road. I lost about 20 trees, either snapped or blow right over.
