I just hope it can prograde east at some point and continue. I REALLY don't wanna waste this insane blocking pattern on it being too far west. We are so close! AAARRRGH

15F attm, with 1.5" fresh powder today and depth at 9.5" simply awesome calm winter evening. Two rabbits stopped-by the garden to find some seeds the birds may have dropped. I may have even seen a Mink overnight but it moves super fast so not sure. Fast like a black squirrel but I've never seen a nocturnal squirrel. Snowy drives home so many it reminds me of 13-14 in the snowbelt of SWMI. Cleared a solid 2" off my car after work in Grayling. Tbh, this little system was a complete surprise what with all the blow torching talk in here. IF we actually get above freezing tomorrow for a few hrs it will be the first time in 19 days. Certainly been a noteworthy stretch especially for so early. 2013 down in Marshall anyways didn't really begin until a 2" event on Dec 8th. I've already seen more snow than I had there through NYE of '13.

noticed 2007 pop up, had a pretty rad January over here that season

Well the mayor of Gold Bar has declared an emergency and activated the Army Core of Engineers. Apparently this is over a levee on "private property" that is vital to the city's flood safety that they say is being monitored. How high or low should my level of concern be? Not much information being shared, but it sure seems as though they're worried about the levy failing.

2008 is towards the end of the event though.
