RE: Snowpocalypse!

in #small-talk3 months ago

Glad to hear your survived it. I don't feel like we get as much snow as we used to here in Michigan. The west side of the state gets the heavy lake effect stuff, but the east side where I live only gets that sort of thing if the wind shifts counter to the jetstream. I feel like a lot of the crazy winter weather has started to push down south. We get more days with the feels like temperature in the -20's to -30's than we get snow.

Sort:  

I didn't know you were a fellow Michigander. Sort of weird when the last few years we missed a lot of hits, as you say, went down south out around us, but when temps hit -20 without snow, it's like something is missing in the picture when you walk outside and just feel extreme cold and barren trees, the landscape looks dull.

Yep, all my life. It's a pretty great state. I feel like when I was a kid I used to get a lot more snow. Maybe it's just a perspective thing. The Saginaw Bay seems to be an insulator, we don't get hammered like the west side of the state does.

-30 yikes

Yeah, lower than -20 they close school. They clocked -54 in Ironwood, MI last weekend I think.
