Here in Michigan, we have had more than our share of wild and wacky weather of late. We received, in a couple of days time, well more than 18-20 inches of snow in one dumping. It was beautiful but destructive. Now, we are going from an overnight temperature of a (unusually warm temperature) of 44 degrees…down into the teens today, with well over 40 mile an hour winds, this after rain and snow melt all night.
This will produce great danger of ice and travel difficulties. Other states have been hit with the arctic blast of winds, snow, sleet and rain; many people loosing their electric and ability to heat their homes.
In the best of situations, people can be prepared for these types of situations. This time it has caught me a bit unprepared. I am sure that i am not the only one. However, we are going to settle in and do our best to stay warm and dry. It is important to take safety measures when you live in winter wonderland areas during this time of year!
Write where you are 
Winter CAN be the pits but I like to think about the UPSIDE:
Popcorn, soup, hot chocolate–great companions for winter weather.
Winter’s misery can also be a good time to work on scrapbooks, photo albums, and old fashioned letter writing.
Cold weather can be a blessing in disguise.
You and your blog, my precious friend, are blessings requiring no disguise.
Hugs,
Connie
