Last week we were running through the park in shorts.
But this is Michigan, so this week is different. Can you guess what my state of mind was when I snapped this?
The weather outside is frightful.
You would be correct.

Seems obvious to me that the ground hog lied back at the beginning of this month.
Pretty though

Oh, you poor thing — that looks wretched!! We’ve got 60s today and sunshine, but that’s supposed to change on Tuesday to rain and snow…again. Sigh. I’m ready to throttle that groundhog!

We had rain last night so most of the snow is gone..but we still have some…and now it’s getting colder again with snow predicted for tomorrow.

It is such a different world when the sun is out and shines down on the snow…It is about 60 here today, the lilacs have broken bud and the leaves are now visible.

I think we’re a long way away from lilac leaves. Or anything at all for that matter…but it does look pretty when the sun shines.

Wondering what the state of your snow is now. I donned mesh running shoes, a t-shirt, jacket, and capri yoga pants and went for a run today. In February. I can’t believe it.

Yesterday we had a lot of melt, and then last night it rained pretty good. So we have lots of open ground now. But more snow is predicted. Run while you can!

Word on the street is that Lansing got 12″. How did you fare? We got about 6″ of easy, fluffy lake effect. No running, but easy shoveling at least!

According to the weather guy (and why should we believe him?) in this area we got 6.3 inches. It was wet and slushy and made the snowblowing this morning sort of tough but I didn’t do it, so it wasn’t that bad! 🙂 Husband just came in from clearing the driveway. Roads were a mess this morning. I am sooooo glad I am retired!

It IS pretty, and I would like a storm so I could try out my unused year old snow shoes…BUT I did enjoy our sunny 58 degree day here.

Snow shes can be used next year. I think we just want to end this now if we can. Though probably not. I guess you’d be ok with just a 2 day storm, in the middle of the week so you’d get two snow days…right? I could live with that.

Fortunately, that missed us here in Wisconsin. I hope you had warmer weather today so some of that white stuff could melt.

It did seem like a lot, though other years we’ve had way more in one storm. Still, it snowed straight for more than 24 hours and we had to clean the driveway 5 times.

I spent the first 34 years of my life in Michigan. I remember scenes like this very well. But fortunately they are now just a memory. I still think very fondly of Michigan and the years I lived there… but I wouldn’t trade the southern Arizona life for anything now.

Giggle. Husband says next winter we are going somewhere else (as in warm). We’ll see. Being retired makes all the difference, knowing I don’t have to get up and deal with the snow if I don’t want to. And I rarely want to.
We’ve been out to Arizona a few times, and NM too. I want to retire there, husband is waffling on location of retirement. What I need is a really good horrible winter here to convince him. This winter was not that. And last winter he spent in Alabama, so I figure next winter ought to convince him it’s time to move.
