Well the blizzard that we were supposes to get turned into just about three inches of snow. School districts were closing schools left and right in anticipation of a foot of snow. Runners were heading into gyms ensuring there were sufficient treadmills for their weekend long runs.

Television stations were bringing in part-time meteorologist to add to the roster of their winter storm team. Each station strategically placed reporters in different areas of the metropolitan Detroit area to let viewers know it was snowing.

The only thing we were missing was the rush on people purchasing extra water and gasoline.

This is Michigan, people! It snows in Michigan and we deal with it. I can remember in the olden days when it started snowing in December and didn’t stop until April. We would walk to school in all types of weather, never thinking of a ‘snow day’.

Okay, let the Superbowl weekend begin. Go Packers!
