(Detroit Free Press) Is that all there is?

As it turned out, snowmageddon was — mostly — just another winter day.

The forecast for Friday calls for light flakes, maybe an inch in metro Detroit and up to 2 closer to the Ohio border. It's also going to be cold, in the low 20s. But, with the wind chill, it will feel like the temperature is in the single digits.

The weekend also is expected to be cold, but dry.

For a moment, though, snow was the talk of the town and social media. Folks went crazy and raided grocery stores for bread, milk and meat. Schools canceled classes for a couple of days. And a few small businesses closed up early. .............(more)

1. Flint got 11"

The forecasts were all over the place, calling for anywhere from 6 to 14".

Hopefully they will plow the subdivision streets before the weekend. Then I get to dig out of what ever they plow up into the end of my driveway. Such fun.

2. Crazy. The forecast initially called for the most snow in the south/southeast part of the state....

..... but here in downtown Detroit I'm guesstimating maybe 4 or 5 inches, at most.
