Living up here in the Michigan snow belt we've had a lot of snow. We got another large amount that started yesterday morning and petered out this morning.
After hearing on the news about drops in temps in Missouri, rain in California, or snow in the Northeast and how people were reacting, almost in shock, I just have to ask...

Do you normally get much snow?
How much snow have you gotten this year so far?
How much did you just get of rain or snow?
How cold is it by you currently? and is it normal?

Before our last snowfall we had already gotten 77" of snow this season. This last snowfall dumped about 12" MORE. Temperatures have been quite nice... around 20-30F and not too much wind. But this morning we had -21F and the windchill was -30F. Right now it's only -10 but still way too windy.
It just sortof seems to me like the whole country could do with a little of our weather to give them a little bit of a reality check. I just have to roll my eyes at the "Oh that's too much snow. I can't take my kid too school!" when it's only 6 or 7" of snow. Our kids had school today, AND a Christmas program TOO. The gym was PACKED with parents and family despite the weather.
