So, has anyone else been getting hammerd with snow?? This cold air coming over LK MI has really kicked up the lake effect snow. West MI got hit pretty damn hard, i'm about 25-30mi west of the lake and we got about 18-20" over the weekend, some places along the lakeshore have been getting hit good for the last 2 weeks!!

Yesterday was -11 on the thermo when I pulled into work. Today was better, only -2.
Snow today though, but only 1-3" for us. I hate snow.....and cold.....I hate that too. I think I live in the wrong part of the country.

It was -15 yesterday and today it "warmed up" to +4 and it snowed a couple of inches. Accidents, spin outs, major delays in traffic, etc. You know the usual winter crap.

so today i was shoveling the snow, and i had a brilliant idea. my mom said to me that the snow was so light that you could use a blower to clean it off. I proceded to use my leaf blower to clean off my camaro and 3/4 of the driveway! i had people stopping infront of my house and staring at me, i know i looked weird, but that was fkin easy!

this weather is crazy... monday morning around 12:50am ... i'm sitting at my work computer, responding to some emails... suddenly a very loud noise!
My bedroom/office is on the north side of our house... I had my rolling shudder down and door closed... freakin inside pain of the window imploded!
Only thing I can think of is due to the pressure differential... between the metal shudders, outter pain, air layer, inner pain, and my door being closed (tight seal and carpetted) ... but regardless ... my window is now full of duct tape lol... we're trying to get it warranteed but the guy that installed them 7 years ago is no longer in the business/retired

This weather is stupid. I've got frost forming on the inside of my wooden front door. I can't feel a draft or any leaks in the seal but there must be somewhere. Anyway all I need is an ice scraper for inside the house now.
