Unusual spring snow falls on southeastern Michigan

The Associated Press
(AP) An unusually late snow storm invaded Michigan on Saturday, with eight to 12 inches expected in the Thumb region by the end of the weekend.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for Huron County and a winter storm warning for all of southeastern Michigan. The warnings will stay in effect through Sunday, said meteorologist Greg Smith.
As of late Saturday morning, Huron and Saginaw counties had seen from half an inch to an inch of accumulation on grassy surfaces, Smith said.
A storm warning also was issued for northern lower Michigan.
In Detroit, snow was mixed with rain for much of the morning, but Smith said it had changed over to all snow before noon.
The city and surrounding communities were expected to get five to eight inches of snow through Sunday evening. Smith said accumulation would be confined mostly to grassy surfaces until the evening, when there could be snow on the roads as well. Overnight temperatures in Detroit were expected to drop to around 30 degrees.
It was unclear how far west the storm would travel. A winter storm watch was issued for Lansing and Grand Rapids.

We haven't seen hail this week but the spring and summer normally has hailstorms on a very frequent basis, some much worse than others.

Gee, I'm glad I put away the snow shovels and installed the window a/c.
Ah, but the outdoor hot tub is still a steamy 103 degrees.

We got nothing over here on the west coast of Michigan. Sorry to hear about you easterners... :-)
Did you look outside this morning?

Last week I planted new rose bushes, this weekend I was busy covering them up with hay and buckets.
I have to drive across the state today so I hope the snow diminishes. I am not thrilled with this frigidity.

Don't get me wrong, I like living in Michigan, but it's trying sometimes ... first it's like summer, then it's snowing. Can't we just have regular seasons?Haven't lived here all that long, have you?

Well, we DID need the precipitation. LOL It has been awfully dry for so early in the year. Someone failed to be specific when asking God for moisture for the crops. ;)
BTW, has anyone talked to a Global Warming freak lately?
To: dakine
You don't do much at all in April. God love the AF. Hahahaha

Just have to ask...isn't this the BIG Union State that pays janitors $25.00 + an hour?....Where Domestic Auto Manufacturers "try" to compete with other world class manufacturers...and from the latest I heard are losing the battle?...Tell your janitor to grab a shovel and quit the complaining....
