[AT] Sleet

[mpnc282 at juno.com]

Here in SE Michigan, I was disappointed with the "Blizzard of the Century" we only received about 5-6" of snow, and not much wind. Kind of like the Great Lakes cyclone from last year. Three wiffs and a puff of dust and it was done. Of course the news talked about it almost non-stop up until it came through. Mike M

I know what you are thinking, Charlie.  On the other hand, if 5-6
inches of snow becomes soggy from rain, a small blower will not move
it and slush is not fun to shovel..  Based on that thought, The clean
up is taken care of for the moment.  With our temperature still at 24
F, we have had a couple of bursts of big, puffy snow flakes, but are
probably safe from any rain / ice for a while. The other good news is
that our wind is only at 3 mph currently.
We seem to be quite lucky at the moment comapred to Gene and much of
the rest of the nation.
