How Is Your Snow Day Going?
Mates,
I must admit a little jealousy as I do love a good snowstorm. But, its not quite so much fun when you live in cities and need to commute to places, get your kids to their events, things like that. This is the Ann Arbor weather statement per NOAA right now:
...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EST THURSDAY... * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 10 to 12 inches. * WHERE...Washtenaw, Lenawee, Monroe and Wayne Counties. * WHEN...Until 10 PM EST Thursday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Rain transitions to snow late this morning. Snow and falling temperatures will result in snow covered and slick roads. Peak snowfall occurs this afternoon with rates up to an inch per hour at times. Gusty north winds this afternoon and evening may lead to some blowing and drifting snow and poor visibilities. Snow rates drop off overnight with light snow continuing through Thursday. Rates may briefly increase to one half inch per hour Thursday afternoon.
I hope you are well prepared, don't have to drive too much, and are able to actually enjoy a good snowfall
Be safe, Go Blue, and if Harbaugh leaves don't worry, we'll find another excellent coach

No snow yet, I am super annoyed this isn't hitting up north as a snowmobiler. This winter has sucked for the northern LP and i'm sick of driving to UP for good snow to ride.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:36 AM ^
I hear feel your pain. It sucks driving past our place in Cadillac ( 6 hours ) to head to the UP. we just got home last night. Everything in LP is shot. What sucks even more, Indy getting 10+ of that nice system snow.All rain so far but the change is coming. gonna be a messy day.. Kids are on E learning the rest of week. poor Kids don't even get true snow day anymore.
February 2nd, 2022 at 10:47 AM ^
I read this wrong the 1st time, then figured out I was just tripping.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:21 AM ^
Sunny and 34 degrees here.... heading for a high of 42 today. The rain moves in tonight and tomorrow afternoon/evening changes to ice and then snow into friday. We're expecting 6" to 12".
Such is the season!
Stay safe Maize n Blue Nation!
Onward, Go Blue!
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:22 AM ^
6"-12" snow on the heels of a rainstorm could be big 'fun'. that's when power lines and trees come down.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:48 AM ^
Especially since they're talking about ice accumulations of up to 1/2".... The Asplundh convoy is most likely on their way.
February 2nd, 2022 at 11:01 AM ^
Where in Pa are you getting 6-12"?
February 2nd, 2022 at 12:05 PM ^
I just looked at the most recent forecast and they've actually lowered it to 4" to 8" with up to a quarter inch of ice.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:22 AM ^
Not bad down here in Virginia. We had 2 inches of snow last Saturday. 2 inches paralyzes the area around DC. These people have no clue.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:24 AM ^
hacked into rgard's facebook account. don't let him fool you, he loves the snow!
February 2nd, 2022 at 12:37 PM ^
Here's another:

Same thing with living in NC. Last year, school was cancelled because of "threat of snow".
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:39 AM ^
In the defense of NC officials... if those roads get any sort of ice on them, they are stupidly slippery--ten times worse than up north. I think they use glass to dissipate a lot of the heat in the summers, but it's terrible for winter weather. Or something like that.
February 2nd, 2022 at 10:54 AM ^
As someone who has spent many years in the Upper Midwest, the scariest roads I've ever seen were in ... Dallas, after an ice storm.
February 2nd, 2022 at 11:10 AM ^
Plus. In NC, they probably don't own any snow clearing equipment, nor do they have any salt/sand to spread. Sibling tells me that in Raleigh/Durham, they simply "wait for it to melt".
February 2nd, 2022 at 11:59 AM ^
Exactly my experience when I lived in NC. No equipment whatsoever, so things are bad if they get snow and ice and it remains cold for more than a few days.
February 2nd, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
I recall one year where there was a full week of snow, and one rather wealthy community hired a crew from up north to come down and clear.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:24 AM ^
Its snowing now and starting to stick. The rain overnight almost melted what snow was on the ground.
Your up to the moment weather report from northwest Wayne county.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:24 AM ^
Five inches of snow for South Central Kansas is like five feet for you. I have minimal outdoor chores to do. Have a nice stack of firewood on the porch. I'll make a run into town for several things, make a batch of noodles and probably bake a pie.
Don't worry, be happy. The next Michigan football coach will take us up a notch.
Edit: Just in from doing chores. It's 15 degrees with 25 mph winds-gusting to, likely, near 40. They say we have 5" of snow but it is hard to tell out here-flat, no trees or fence lines...the snow all piles up on the roads. We have about three miles out to the highway...my North Dakota raised wife says going into town can wait.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:24 AM ^
It's snowing pretty good here in Evanston. It rained yesterday, so there's a layer of slush covered with a new layer of powder. If your boots aren't truly waterproof, you're looking at icicle toes.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:24 AM ^
I have Florida on my mind.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:42 AM ^
Come on down! Supposed to be sunny and 80 here today.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:45 AM ^
I’ll pass. I prefer falling snow to falling iguanas
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:59 AM ^
That's only in Miami. Florida pro-tip: you never, ever go to Miami.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:25 AM ^
Nothing to report yet in Detroit burbs. Seems like the worst of it might hit south of here. It rained all night and melted away the snow on the ground. Wish it would stay 40 degrees and skip this snowstorm. We haven't had much snow this year, and the sun has been shining more often than usual. But I'm tired of the cold.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:26 AM ^
Will Harbaugh's flight to Minnesota be cancelled due to weather conditions?
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:28 AM ^
guessing he's already there. this will force him to spend two nights there and help him decide that there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home...
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:36 AM ^
The high temp in Minneapolis today is 7°. The low tonight is -15°. The high tomorrow is 3° with a low of -6°. No precipitation either day.
More than 3,000 flights were canceled through Thursday.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:42 AM ^
i'm guessing he's flying on somebody's private jet. but you don't want to land your plane at metro or willow run with a blizzard icing up your wings on your way home tonight or tomorrow.
February 2nd, 2022 at 10:05 AM ^
If the airlines are cancelling 3,000 commercial flights, it wouldn't make sense for a private jet to fly - especially in a non-urgent situation. The longer he stays there, the more opportunities for the Vikings to see Harbaugh's quirkiness and ask themselves if he is the right person for the job.
February 2nd, 2022 at 11:32 AM ^
He flew out last night, to be at Vikings HQ first thing, as scheduled.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:27 AM ^
We'll find another excellent coach....
Question. In your opinion , who was our last excellent coach?
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:48 AM ^
God you are a miserable sob.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:57 AM ^
Is there nothing I can say
Nothing I can do to change your mind.
Let me come to your emotional rescue.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:57 AM ^
that is rich coming from you (saggie) of all people, who stalk my posts and negs me for no reason. the points mean nothing, but your irrational hate and bizarre obsession though, that is something. have you considered seeing someone about that? are there other things in your life that are so miserable that you can't stop yourself? do you have someone you can talk to, a friend or family member? seriously, have you considered how petty and childish that is? what's up saggie, you should try to fix this.
February 2nd, 2022 at 10:27 AM ^
I do not downvote anyone. Nevermind , carry on.
February 2nd, 2022 at 12:50 PM ^
Weird flex from someone who constantly upvotes himself. Trying to imagine how sad life must be to feel the need to +1 your own nonsense
February 2nd, 2022 at 3:33 PM ^
You've been too busy posting half sentences and then upvoting yourself to have time to bother downvoting anyone.
February 2nd, 2022 at 10:38 AM ^
I was t talking to XM.
I don’t stalk your posts btw. If you post something I don’t agree with I may neg you or anyone else for that matter. Isn’t that the point of the feature?
Don’t worry about me my life is great. Great family, great job. Very happy person.
February 2nd, 2022 at 10:55 AM ^
now you are lying to cover up your unmerited hate. there is nothing about my OP that is the slightest bit disagreeable. and frankly, pretty much every one of your other stalking-negs has been on equally innocuous posts of mine.
i'm not mad, i'm just some dude on the internet, but you really ought to look into your heart and try and see what it is that motivates you to behave like this. you have a problem and it's eating you up. it probably has almost nothing to actually do with me, but man, do yourself a favor and look into it, try to figure it out.
i wish you well saggie, and if it makes you feel better to neg me, i guess, hey, knock yourself out.
February 2nd, 2022 at 11:27 AM ^
This is comical.
You came at me. Not once on this thread did I say anything about you.
I know it’s hard to believe that everyone doesn’t love your posts, but I don’t agree with some things you say and others I ignore and scroll past.
Enough with the armchair psychologist. And my screen name is SagNasty, not “saggie”.
February 2nd, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
I'm keeping an eye on you, saggie.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:35 AM ^
Shoveled twice already.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:38 AM ^
Snowing now in Fort Wayne, Accuweather says 1-2 Feet, locals say 15-18 inches so both right I suppose. Boss had foresight to let us work remotely today and tomorrow, thankful for that. Now down in basement office adjacent to Man-Cave, and having flashbacks to the early covid lockdown days. Getting thru it, snowblower tested and ready, lets GOOOO! Let it SNOW!!
Definitely easier to stay on MGoBlog here LOL.
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:39 AM ^
Jim Harbaugh's cold heart isn't producing snow over here. A shitflake drifting towards Minneapolis
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:45 AM ^
Ratio increasing here in Saline, accumulation starting. Roads are slushy. Wish we were getting the original estimates (6-10” today, 8-14” tomorrow), but I’ll be pleased with a good foot on the ground at the end of it all!
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:50 AM ^
71 and sunny here in Fort Myers, if anyone cares...
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:57 AM ^
Lots of snow dropping
No Nanny for our 3 and 2 year old
Drinking will start early
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:58 AM ^
your drinking, or the kids....?
February 2nd, 2022 at 10:02 AM ^
a little Niquil naptime..... best babysitter ever.
I jest.... I jest....
