Last March sucked bad here in MI. It was freezing cold and then it let loose with the biggest snowfall of the year! I am hoping this March is just wet and rainy.

Jersey use to have bad winters in March. Seems like for the past 4-5 years we just never really have a significant snow fall. Either it's too bloody cold and dry or too warm. Weather though I imagine is the least of Michigan's problems!

it isnt the snow as muchas it is the cold.
i hate the ice on the lakes as soon as ice out occurs im good til it returns.
fall is an awesome season (especially where i live) but winters are just too long and too much.
i start feeling like jack from the shining.
stir crazy, cabin fever...and myt post quality on here suffers.

Just got back in from shoveling the drive. Looks like we got 7-10 depending on the spot. Doesn't help that the wind was really gusting, so it blew all the snow from down the street our way. I got about 1/4 of the way done and decided that I don't really need to go anywhere today.

Ain't that the truth. We have had some warm weather (40's) and a few days of sunshine, so it hasn't been terrible. If I ever need cheering up, I just read the governor's press releases.
