OK, so I was wrong... this weather has actually lasted two weeks now... I am impressed, this is the longest any kind of weather has actually stayed constant for a while. Being so close to the lake, things are always changing and I was thinking how sorry I'd be to see all that beautiful snow go. So far, it's sticking around and it is truly a sight for sore eyes like mine, which have lived way too long in hot weather.
This photo is of a wind storm and blizzard warning day we are having. The wind blows so strong it hurts and gave me a headache in the time it took to shoot a few photos. The "fog" you see by the sunny spot is actually the snow from the frozen lake being blown about.

This is the most snow I have seen since I moved here in 2003. I am loving it. I wish this was more common than rare. I thought Michigan was supposed to be cold and snowy, but this is a once in a while kind of photo.
