Blacktail in the SNOW in MID APRIL. Very pretty, but the amount of snow is, well, a LOT for this time of year where we live.

We had a surprise snow yesterday. It came early, and it stuck... which it was not supposed to do. Overnight it turned to ice. Sadness.

Wake-up call

On Friday evening the TV weather guys predicted "a dusting" for Saturday morning and I assumed that my snowblower would continue its long winter's nap through the solstice (on Tuesday) and perhaps beyond.

But Nature had a different idea. Snowfall started in the wee hours Saturday and lasted until about noon, dishing out a good 3 inches.

That's no major dump by Michigan standards, but enough to force a machinery wake-up call for the first time this year.

It would have been a nice snow for Christmas Day.
