I was talking to a friend yesterday, and he asked how much snow we had gotten. I was surprised, because the storm had missed us, and I had totally forgotten one had passed through south of us. What little snow we have doesn’t quite cover the ground, and it came several days ago.
\nI was astounded to learn that Michigan City, Indiana, the town on the south end of Lake Michigan just before you get to Michigan, had TWENTY SIX INCHES of snow. I’d say they got all our snow, don’t you think?
\nI recall an incredible snowstorm in 1978, when I was stranded in Chicago for two days. And there was one in 1967, I think. I made it out of the Chicago suburbs on my way back to school in the nick of time. And….some time in the last ten years we had snow so high that I couldn’t walk Defer anywhere but up and down the plowed driveway. His legs were too short to deal with the snow, and so were mine!
