Winter Is Early

SEARCH BLOG: WINTER

Yesterday, we attending the wedding and reception of our son's friend whom he has known since 5th grade.
The young couple are just the kind of people you hope will live in your community and bring children into the world. And we wish them the best.
Of course, planning a December wedding in Michigan has its risks. We were greeted at the end of the evening with an ice-covered vehicle and slushy-to-frozen roads. After some scraping, we were able to see out of the windows and make our way very carefully with the 4-wheel drive engaged.
Our neighbors in Canada seem intent on helping us avoid the dangers of global warming this winter. The last week was and this coming week is forecasted to be about 5 to 8 degrees below normal with several days of fairly brisk winds making it feel as if it were 10° F outside.
ICECAP tells us that this could be the start of quite a few cold winters... similar to 2 or 3 decades ago when snow piled high and furnaces stayed running.
Now about that natural gas to which the federal government won't allow access.
I know, we'll get that when the Great Lakes freeze over... which may be soon.
