We got our first snow here in Mendon overnight and today. Looks like about 5" and still snowing. We are about 20 miles North of Indiana, so it is pretty much on schedule. 8)

The weather guessers really put their foot in it AGAIN. Two days ago they were talking the MAJOR snow storm and predicting 6 -12 inches of snow. It has been snowing for about six hours now and we have about an inch. The ground is still warm from the week of 50 and 60 degree weather so it is not sticking. The one thing that can change the mix is if the wind direction shifts and comes out of the southwest across the pond (Lake Michigan),... then we can get lake affect snow and that can accumulate. My bet is about 3 inches of snow,... and that will be gone by Tuesday. We have this local weather guy who sounds JUST like chicken little....

Stay warm and be safe if you have to venture out! Out here in the desert southwest it's a chilly 80 with a sky full of sun!

Over predicting is OK with me. Three years ago here in Central Oregon, they predicted 2 to 4 inches overnight. Over two feet of that miserable white stuff came down that night.
What is this "snow" of which you speak? (87 here today).

Jackson County here, 9-10 inches. Very heavy wet stuff. Forecast for 50 degree mid-week will make things muddy.
Talked with a friend in northern California last night, poor guy had to mow his grass yesterday afternoon!

Looks like the storm took a right turn before it got here and took aim at Saginaw and below....nnnnn I am good with that. We got about 3 inches. It will be gone by Tuesday. 5ive,... due north of Grand Rapids.
Here in northern Illinois we had about 14 inches dumped on us. Now at almost 9AM its bright and sunny but only 13 degrees.
The snow just started early this am in NE Ohio snow belt. I'm closer to Erie than Cleveland and 5 miles south of Lake Erie. Ground just covered. Expecting a few inches. Haven't put the plow on the Honda Rubicon yet. That only takes 20 minutes. Warmest November in quite awhile, per weather folks.
Got 16" here (SE South Dakota) on Friday. Started pretty wet, so was tough to shovel and froze hard underneath the snow. Glad I cleared it when I got home from work Friday night. Prediction was 4-6". :roll:
Our 4.5 -5" prediction settled on an even 12.0".

They LIE a tremendous amount to justify their false claims of climate change global warming. That is when they are NOT going back a couple hundred years to "adjust" the recorded temperatures LOWER.

Guess the 10-12" we got here on Saturday was enough "Ice Cubes" into the lake. It froze all the way across overnight, usually do not see that until first week of December for this lake.
