I heard this past weekend that the Detroit area has received a bit over 42" of snow so far this season. The average for the entire winter season is 44", so we're close and still in the middle of January.
On a positive note, the water levels of the Great Lakes have been rising the past couple of years and this year's snowfall is bound to help keep them rising. When I think of the snow in this aspect it doesn't seem quite so bad.
Another indicator of snowfall is the amount of gas I put in the snow blower. I make a new gallon in the late fall; most years I have plenty left over to use in the string trimmer. This January the gas can is now empty, with the last drop in the snow blower. I think I'm going to have to mix up a new batch before the spring thaw!
