Our three local television stations each devoted twenty minutes to the Valentine's Day snowstorm. Seems to me there are more important events to cover. Hope they know this is Michigan, it is February, temperatures in winter do get to single digits, and snow does fall, sometimes in great quantities. What would we ever do without the talking heads telling us to bundle up; cover our mouths, noses, ears; wear gloves? They treat us as though we just moved here from warmer climes to get work (we have a net emigration from the state). Condescending also comes to mind. But it must work for them financially.
The snowfall was magnificent. The new coating in brilliant sunshine begged to be skied. So out along the road one day--not good skiing because some of the road surface was uncovered with snow. Then on to the Macomb Orchard Trail. A rail-to-trail conversion, it passes through Washington Township, Romeo, and Bruce Township before turning generally east to Armada and Richmond. Only a part in Washington Township is open for recreationers so we skied a portion of that. Very cold but a vigorous workout nonetheless.
