First snowfall of note...in our part of Michigan

They predicted 1-2";
"They " were wrong;
We, here in Macomb County, Macomb Township, MI probably have close to 5";
Snow is to taper off around midnight;
Winds are predicted to pick-up;
Tomorrow is predicted to be a balmy 17 *.


Earlier Sal said "oh, it is close to the 2" ---
I stated "nope, closer to 4" at least"---
since neither of us was willing to go out there with a ruler--we waited for the local news;
we were both wrong--5" and counting.

SO------ all 1st snowfall photos were taken from within the house, or with the side door propped open.
Here some are;

Took the opportunity to edit them in www.picnik.com with fun effects & frames;
This photographer stayed warm, but you get the visual effect of our snowfall from 4:00 am today,Sunday.
