Tonight, -16 C with a wind chill of -23 C in Michigan. Extremely clear and a bit of a meteor shower. We might even get Northern Lights tonight.

Yep, about 5 inches. The real problem for us is that the ice on the roads has been polished to a very slippery sheen by the wind. And the temperatures are cold enough that salt is not melting the ice. My kids in Cleveland are being inundated by lake-effect snow off of Lake Erie along with arctic cold. Have you got much snow?

By the way, how are your UK trip plans shaping up?

Rob, are you in UP Mich or downstate ? How much snow have you had this season ? Used to be just outside Milwaukee, Wi and we used to get that lake effect snow that downstate Mi would kindly send us LOl....

Our snow here in South Shields has finally melted overnight. Enough for the season this year !

Beth, I live in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, almost dead center in the middle of the Mitten. Our area seems to be spared the really heavy snows of the southern and far northern regions of the state--thanks mainly to Lake Michigan funneling the snow storms around its south and north ends! Make no mistake, we do get some pretty heavy snow from time to time, just not as much.

Gotta love lake effect snow! For those of you not associated with the Great Lakes, those fortunate/unfortunate souls living near the lake shores, especially Lake Michigan and Lake Erie, experience much more snowfall than those inland due to the added moisture and winds generated by these massive bodies of water. In fact, storms on the Great Lakes can be monstrous and are never to be taken lightly--4800 shipwrecks since 1679 will certainly attest to that!

Thanks for explaining what the "lake effect snow" is Rob.  Not something I think I want to experience!  I'll stick to too much sunshine, thank you.Smile

More snow forecast for the UK but maybe, just maybe Oxford will miss it again! Can people really enjoy snow do you think members?

I think I could if I knew it was for a short period of time and I was on holiday.  Or alternatively if I was a child again or into skiing!!

On an everyday basis during a l o n g winter ............... NO, Brrrrrr

I ADORE snow!! I always have!! And we've gotten clobbered by snow every year. I don't even mind shovelling out my car!!

The only thing I don't like is driving in it. Luck for me, I can call out of work if the schools are closed and walk to the store if I need to!
