What the SNOW?!

Isn't it supposed to be Spring? That's what the calendar says, but I guess Momma Nature was a bit confused about the 'WHITE-OUT' to support the Spartans tonight vs. the WHITE-OUT heavy, wet, snow. This was what we woke up to this morning.....

Actually we woke up at 4:05 this morning to a transformer blowing up, nothing like having to try & figure out what time it is in the middle of the night......the clock in the spare room that runs on batteries was on the old day light saving schedule so it read 5:05, when it was actually 4:05. Guess we'll have to reset that tonight to avoid confusion in the instance that this happens again anytime soon. Welcome to Monday!

On a high note, we're looking forward to watching the MSU Spartans play their way to victory tonight.

Hope you're having a snow free Monday.....

Spring?

Hmmmmmm, while the calendar says Spring is officially here, I think good ole' Momma Nature is a bit confused. This was the snow progression yesterday afternoon starting about 4 pm (so much for the snow arriving at midnight like the forecasters originally said). We ended up with about 2" after everything was all said & done. Hmmmph, not sure about you, but we are MORE than ready for Spring. We've got bulbs that are already coming up.......crazy Michigan weather!

This past week has been pretty busy - we've had a lot of things going on. Wednesday was the first Kronk Gym Fundraiser that took place at the Townsend in Birminghan. You can check out some of the "seen & be seen" photos from the event here. It was a great event - I think everyone enjoyed themselves and funds were raised to help with the gym.
Then, Saturday, I hosted my Entertaining at Home Party. It was a nice afternoon I got to spend with some girlfriends and our mom's as well. Dad and Glen were banished to the 'Man Cave' ;o) and spent the afternoon searching for sports to watch, unfortunately, Food Network was the best they could do.
And HOW ABOUT THOSE SPARTANS?! Although we are a Maize & Blue household, we are more than happy to root for the Green & White when they're not playing the Wolverines. Needless to say, you know what we'll be tuned into this weekend!
Well, hang in there on this cold winter like Monday!

Builds Character....

That was a typical line we heard growing up when we had to do something we had no desire to do. So, after 30+ years of doing stuff I didn't want to do and 'building character', I have enough characters for years worth of sitcoms.
So, with that said, I'm trying to figure out why one of my SANE characters didn't tell us to stay home this morning........

This photo was between Big Beaver & Rochester Road on I-75 this morning as I was creeping along at 5 mph. This was about 1 hour and 30 minutes into my 3 hour and 30 minute commute this morning - maybe 15 miles from our house.

And this one was about 2 hours into my commute, about half way to work......

Well, it looks like the snow has subsided and hopefully the good ole' county trucks can get on the roads and clean them up a bit before afternoon 'rush' hour starts.

Hmmmmmm, I wonder which 'character' this mornings drive was building?!

Happy 1/2 Way to Friday!

Is it Summer yet?

Snow, Snow and MORE Snow.......Is it Summer yet???
While we didn't get nearly as much snow as either of our folks 10"+ (we only got 5"-6"), I think we've all had enough winter......

Yesterday, I had the chance to get together with Amy, Suz and Colin for our 'Christmas'. We enjoyed lunch at Olive Garden - YUMMO! Colin and I even shared a super yummy dessert.

Well, off to enjoy the day!
Happy Sunday!

And the Snow keeps coming......

Wow, I can't remember the last time we've had THIS MUCH SNOW!!!
This was a photo from Sunday . . . . . . . . .
And it started snowing again today about 10 am. We're due for 8-12 inches between tonight and tomorrow. By the time all is said and done, that will be about 2 1/2 feet of snow in less than a week. Holy WOW!
The Christmas shopping is just about wrapped up and we've decided to call off our annual Christmas Eve Dinner because of the weather.
We're hoping that everyone can get into town and get together on Christmas Day!
I'm sure Santa is LOVIN' this this weather!!!
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!
Stay turned for more snow photos and a few Christmas photos too.

HOLY SNOW BATMAN!!

This is what we were looking at at 9:26 this morning - can you say HOLY SNOW?! Looks like we're going to have a white Christmas this year!!

I think we ended up with about a foot of snow. We'll take more photos tomorrow - this was NOTHING compared to what we're seeing out on the deck now (and what we shoveled out of the front walks!)

More on the way tomorrow night/Sunday.

Let it Snow!

Let it Snow!

Let it Snow!

Hope you are all safe, sound and tucked in a warm place tonight!

WHAT THE?! A Continuation of yesterday

What the heck was the situation this morning?! So when we went to bed last night, we didn't think anything of the LIGHT dusting of the white stuff. It was on the deck and the cars, just a little bit. There was no mention of 'WELCOME TO MONDAY MORNING crummy roads' on the news last night.

So imagine our surprise when we turned the news on this morning and there were about 18 accidents on the Traffic report, including south bound 75 being closed before Square Lake. UGH!

We are SO NOT READY for winter!!!

Tis' the Season!

Bundle Up as it's supposed to be 24 or less tonight!
