Woot! How convient that there happens to be college basketball on at 6 a.m. today.
November 18th, 2014 at 6:28 AM ^
The snow day!!

I have a 45 mile commute one way. This is basically hell. I will be spending a lot of time in the car today.

Last week I finally caved and started wearing my winter coat. This morning, I had to break out my scarf. These are two things I certainly was not anticipating having to do in mid-novmeber. No denying it, regardless of what the calendar says, winter is back and with a vengence.
November 18th, 2014 at 12:17 PM ^
here in Frankenmuth too. But super cold. Looking very Christmas-y. Bronner's is probably busy.
November 18th, 2014 at 3:13 PM ^
Fellow Muth resident here - isn't Bronner's always busy ;)
November 18th, 2014 at 6:48 AM ^
Kids have a snow day today, we've gotten nearly a foot so far here in beautiful northern MICH. I should probably get my ass out of bed and go shovel.
November 18th, 2014 at 9:06 AM ^
Why did I for some reason think you lived in Arizona? Who the hell am I confusing you with?
November 18th, 2014 at 9:38 AM ^
Rich Rodriguez?
Don't worry a lot of people make that mistake.
November 18th, 2014 at 9:19 AM ^
Just got back from a trip North. Was looking jealously at the weather report. Freezing cold but bone dry down here...
November 18th, 2014 at 6:51 AM ^
Supposedly, we're in for a few inches tomorrow in Metro Detroit, but for the time being, it's just effing cold between being all of 12 degrees at the airport and the 20+ MPH sustained wind where I am at right now. The only time we typically get hammered by snow off the lakes (at least here in Wayne County) is in that rare instance when the wind comes out of the E-SE...it has happened though.

I've been watching the radar hoping some of that would come our way -- but it's been really interesting to watch it just hover over the west side of the state for a couple of days now.
Either way, it's way too early for this. The last few years, the November games have actually been OK. I think the Ohio State game either last year or the year before I ended up in a t-shirt because the sun was so warm. I can't remember the last game we had with actual snow on the ground.
November 18th, 2014 at 7:00 AM ^
is so fickle---I only have 3 inches on the ground here, but the next school district to the east is shut down. Same with most of them to the southeast of me, down in Cass County, where some have a foot of snow.
So much for fun here, as the normal 25-minute commute is gonna take at least an extra 10 minutes.
November 18th, 2014 at 7:14 AM ^
I suppose I shouldn't complain that it almost froze in NOLA this morning...

It's the humidity. Freezes you to your bones.
November 18th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
it's the wind. If it's 20 and no wind, it's fine. But even 30 with a strong wind...Brutal. Windy today. Not pretty.
November 18th, 2014 at 9:26 AM ^
I lived in the Phoenix area for 5 years after college before moving back to A2. There was one day where the temperature in the morning was high 20's, low 30's. Despite clearly experiencing temperatures much lower than that on a regular basis in Michigan, I don't believe I've ever been colder in my life.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:34 AM ^
I remember being befuddled by native Floridians complaining when the temps dropped below 45 after I moved to Tampa (later Orlando) from Ohio. Personally, I hated the Florida summers (basically May through October) and thought the winters were the most pleasant season down there.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:39 AM ^
I'll never understand how people willfully choose to live where it's disgustingly hot for eight months out of the year and you spend three months hoping your house doesn't get wiped out, but hey, to each their own.
November 18th, 2014 at 10:33 AM ^
I moved to Florida 3 years ago from NJ.
Since then Florida hurricanes 0, New Jersey hurricanes 2.
November 18th, 2014 at 10:54 AM ^
I'm closing in on retirement -- and planning my second house hunting trip on the West Coast of the Big Island. Might get some rain and some wind now and again, but cold will be the 50s. Also those noon games in Ann Arbor will start at 6 or 7 am and allow for sun the rest of the day.
November 18th, 2014 at 12:23 PM ^
is the safest large city, weather wise? Saw that on weather.com a few months ago.
November 18th, 2014 at 7:53 AM ^
It's 32 degrees in North Carolina! I thought I moved away from this type of weather

This will be my son's first year of winter driving. Even though he has a 4wd Jeep I'll still be more than a little concerned.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:13 AM ^
I like days like today because Facebook reminds me how many of my friends are teachers!
Thankfully, working from home is an option (see how hard I'm working right now?) so I get to enjoy it through the window without having to step outside.

so there always a chance for more.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:54 AM ^
We go ten inches.

Hoping for about 3-5 feet on the 29th in Columbus, with snowfall rates exceeding 5 inches per hour.
November 18th, 2014 at 10:59 AM ^
I remember freshman year walking from Alice Lloyd dorm all the way to the Frieze (sp?) Building when it was like 0 degrees. My face almost fell off from the cold, and as I walked into class hoping my cheeks might some day move again, I commended whomever came up with the name for that building.
Oh,and it's 30 in DC but we're supposed to get 68 by Monday... Not too shabby.
November 18th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
Over here in Buffalo NY some of the south towns got well over 3 feet last night while the north side of the city (where I am) got less than an inch. Gotta love lake effect
November 18th, 2014 at 5:53 PM ^
The standard maps fool people. On a standard two D map it looks like Lake Erie is curving towards Toronto, but kook at Lake Erie on a globe and you'll see that the long axis is aimed at the area in Orchard Park south of the city and around the stadium and the Southtowns region. The long exposed run of open water just brings that moisture up and have it collide with the cold air to bomb that area - but it makes good skiing. I lived in Amherst and Williamsville for 10 years.

dress warmly, drive a well-maintained 4wd and give yourself some extra drive time. i love all the seasons. living in northern lower, i always tell the people down here that for us yoopers, this is the banana belt.
love the other seasons too, but don't miss socal (13+ yrs) one minute. oh, and we don't have fire, mudslide, riot, or earthquake season up here either.
November 18th, 2014 at 7:24 PM ^
Has been messed up.
Out here in Denver since last Sunday (the 9th)...
73/45
64/18....dropped 15 degrees in 15 minutes and like 35 degrees in 2-3 hours...
19/11
10/0
14/-11
35/1
25/11
32/-1
39/21
A lot of those days had wind chills well below zero and there was at least 4 inches of snow during this period. And now it is back to seasonal weather...high in the 50s and a low in the 20s...for now. At least it is sunny.
As for western NY, that is crazy. It is lake effect snow on steroids...
