The fickleness of the lake effect snow clouds is enough to make Mike a nervous wreck... and drive me nuts! ... watching him watch the weather forecasts on every news station, along with the weather channel and then running to the window every few minutes to see if a cloud may have finally found us.

They got heavy lake effect north of us today. Cheyboygan area, and along the Lake Michigan coastline. We have had on and off beautiful big snowflakes coming down. Perhaps giving us another inch of two. The forecasters are all saying its promising for us to get more as the clouds continue to gather and move over our area. 1-3 inches expected overnight. And then more over the next few days.

Its just so really unpredictable. I personally prefer not watching the forecasts at all. I prefer just looking out the window to see if its presently snowing and then realizing it could just be a downfall of snow for a few minutes or it could go on and on. . .
what will be .. will be...
no need to sweat it. Just enjoy it when its here.

We need more snow for the trails. They can't start grooming until we have enough to make a solid base. At this point there is snow, but its not enough for a base. The East Jordan groomers (that's west of us where they really got hit hard with Friday's storm) have groomed the Blue Bear.

I don't plan on working at 'the home' (an Assisted Living Facility} tomorrow so am hoping to get on my sled for the first time. However, I have several errands to run, shopping to do and a Dr. appointment. Meetings in the evening, so its going to be a challenge to fit it all in one day. One day is all I have to do it all, so we'll see what happens.

Sparky is happy whatever weather we have. He enjoys sunshine, rain, snow all the same. A happy wag of the tail. It all rolls off his golden back.

Mike however bites his nails, or I should say spits nails when the weatherman doesn't say the words he can't hear enough: Snow. Then when they say the words but he doesn't see the Snow, he's spitting and sputtering at the weatherman.

Enjoy it all! ... While you can.
