It's Raining, It's Pouring... Today, that is.

Michigan winter weather.... snow, ice, blowing, drifting... now raining, pouring, heavy rain overnight...tomorrow dropping temps and lots of snow.

We have change of seasons 24/7 with spring like driving one day and winter the next. Ice hidden under the snow is now slippery and exposed. Today dropping off an offer, I took a step and did the Watusi. My version of a ballet with the spinning splits on ice!

I did this at a busy intersection parking lot. I did get a few honks and I took a bow! They enjoyed my little unexpected dance. It could have been very ugly just as easily with a fracture or head injury instead of some entertainment for passersby. I saw the ice and was prepared for a little slip and slide.

Be safe and prepared both personally at home and in your car. Weather changes the equation in northern climates. Other areas of the country have their own challenges with conditions that change.

The issues we face is living in these conditions and becoming adusted without making adjustments.

Have a great week and think a bit more about your weather conditions.
