it warmed clear up to 7 today... also, I'm not used to getting much in the way of snow if it's cold out, but apparently that happens anyway, here. Michigan isn't Alaska, lol. I never had to deal with the lake changing things the way it does. and if course it's Superior, so it really, really changes weather snort
but it's a great excuse for running the fireplace all day long 
I was cozier this morning with the temp 2 degrees outside than I would be in Oklahoma at 25
seriously
but oh man, it makes it perfect weather for smoked salmon chowder when Bratling gets done with skiing
you're welcome 
the wind has been fucking BRUTAL lately
between the wind and the weather warming up last week, I got stuck on your side of the Mackinac Bridge overnight
when they finally opened the bridge next morning it was shaking the big full-size van
20-30+ mph. they closed it at noon the day before for falling ice
