November 21st, 2015
As the calendar turned to November, those of us in
Michigan tend to expect the weather to get cold and the snow to fly. This year
has been a bit different in that we have had plenty of warm weather and no real
snow to speak of. Until today, that is. Although the temperature wasn't
unbearable at just below freezing, it was the snow that caught everyone off
guard. The weather people were predicting 2-6", and we surpassed that amount
early in the day. By the time the snow had tapered off to a barely visible
amount, we had surpassed double the predicted maximum! Welcome to Michigan!
First Snowfall of the Season

The snow was falling hard early in the morning...
|
|
...and didn't let up as the day wore on.
|
|
By early evening it had really begun to pile up.

Still coming down!

We had 11 1/2" at this point, and it was still coming down for
over an hour after this picture was taken!
