    u.p.
    Well, we ended up with about 14" of snow from the last system that blew in. Started early in the morning and ended by noon. I think it was about 3:30 or 4:30 a.m. when it started. Not bad for eight hours, huh?
    Only thing is, this is a heavy snow due to the temperature of the air...upper 20's lower 30's. Very heavy! Not much you can do but grab a shovelful and then walk to where you want it thrown; then repeat. I'm not sure, but I think I heard earlier that it was supposed to move east. About the whole u.p. was affected with closures and cancellations. I know it came up from the south as some of the places in Wisconsin that are a bit south of me ended up with anywhere from 16" to 24". So, it could've been worse!

    The reason it's called heart attack snow is that many a person has had an attack while shoveling this type of heavy snow.
    It is snowing again, right now. I suppose I should go check on 99's progress, point out the places she missed, and let her know I'm starting to get hungry!!! Kinda hope she's done shoveling, by now.

    Make sure you let her read this post when she comes in from shoveling and heads to the kitchen. :ahhh:

    I predict that if you're looking for a change, you won't see anything for at least two days. Then the swelling will begin to go down and you'll begin seeing at least some things from one eye.

    Only got about 4" down here a lil north of Green Bay.

    School district still called it cause they were expecting more throughout the day, never happened.

    So I volunteered to stay home with the kiddos and sent the wife off to work. :)

    all told, about 10" by me. Was an easy morning...had the wife out there cleaning off my car whilst I sipped coffee. She said she couldn't clean all the snow off the roof...too short or something, whatever. She does a pretty good job with the steps.
