Where's Winter?

Last Fall, the Farmer's Almanac called for lower than average temperatures and less than average precipitation for our region. I'd say there's some truth to that. Michigan's always been known for overcast skies (we're surrounding by the largest bodies of fresh water in the world) but this year has been brutal. I think the reason is a lack of snow. A little fresh snow every few days, mixed in with the occasional dump keeps things white and pretty. Grey skies with grey ground just seems to frustrate everyone. Then you mix in a week of drizzle and 40 degree temps and it's just perfect.

But last night we got a little snow. The difference is amazing. Please keep it coming! The difference in the moods of everyone around me, and even in me, are astounding.
