Photos of Michigan snow storms from the past

This winter is how I remember (incorrectly or not, I am not sure) winter when I was a kid. Snow that fell around the first of the year and stayed until March. Multiple days off of school. Playing outside until my feet were numb. I thought I would share some photos of snow storms from Michigan's past. I was just a young pup when the Blizzard of '78 hit so I only have the stories my folks told me. My dad using a tractor to try and plow out the rural road to the main highway, people trying to drive through the 3+ foot drifts and getting stuck by our house, and everything being shut down for days as everyone dug out of the snow.

Check out these photos of snow storms from Michigan's past.

Are you ready for snow?

This week's poll question was inspired by my four-year-old. He has been excited since last week when he heard the weatherman say there was a chance for some snow this past weekend. You should have seen his face yesterday when a band of snow showers passed through. Are you ready for snow? Do you have your snow shovels and ice scrapers at the ready? I'm not ready for snow just yet. I was enjoying the 70 degree temps last week. As they say, ready or not - here it comes!
