fsck! Been lightly snowing here in WI for like 3 days now.

UP MI has some very snowy winters. If I remember correctly from the days when KI Sawyer was still an AF base, and my friend's wife was stationed there, I thought she said their average snowfall was somewhere around 250"!! Mostly lake effect snow, but it's still lots of snow.

I live in the UP of Michigan. I went snowboarding today too. It was sweet. Theres only about an inch of snow here but where I went snowboarding about 2 hours away there still was maybe 5 inches max. There was a lot of man-made snow though so it was all good.

We don't have very bad winters. I live by Lake Michigan and we don't get as much snow here compared to up north or western UP.

Oh yes. KI Sawyer that's up by Marquette and there is a ton of lake effect snow there.

edit: Pillage what city do you live in?

That's not just MI, it's the Upper Penninsula in MI. Marquette to be exact. A tad bit different climate than say Detroit. :)

Heh. Ton of snow is right. All I remember is going up to visit my friend's wife, she was a boomer on a KC-135, and there were like tunnels through the snow. Not for me. :)

Kalamazoo? Hmm I'm not sure how much will fall there. Got any on the ground yet?

Where I live it kind of sucks cause I like snow but last year was a really warm winter. We didn't have snow till a little before christmas and it was gone by the middle to end of February.
