Where are you again? Being retired has its advantages but living in the suburbs as I do has its drawbacks.........
Here in macomb county, the storm has now hit and even tho my condo complex has snow removal svcs., I went out and shoveled the first inch that had been coming down throughout this afternoon. But they're warning us that the worst is coming............oh well.
Living out in the country as you do is far more fun in the winter even tho the county snow removal isn't as timely as they try to be down here. But then again, you folks are prepared.
Winter in Michigan is indeed beautiful but only if you live in an area where you can appreciate it.........
The interesting thing about living in the country, is that the snow stays white and pretty a lot longer than in the city. When I had the farm, all the farmers got out early in the morning and plowed out the road and driveways. Much easier in the country to get from point A to point B.
