Tuesday, 1/9

Might it finally be happening?

I've been writing (almost obsessively, some might say) about the lack of snow we've had here in Marquette this “winter”. That's changing a little, and by the time some of you read this, it may have changed a lot.

First of all, here's what downtown looked like yesterday--



It still doesn't look like mid-January. Actually, it looks like late March, when most of the snow has already melted, leaving just the dirt that was spread on streets the previous three months. But you can legitimately say that it's starting to look like winter.

At least a little.

But like I said, that may be changing soon. We're under a Winter Storm Warning from this morning through tomorrow morning, and depending upon the track of the system moving through we could see our first serious snowfall of the year. In fact, it might even be serious enough for us to have a winner in our “Where's The Snow?” contest, and part of me didn't think that would happen at all this winter.

Will it actually happen? We'll have to see. The forecast calls for anywhere from four to twelve inches of snow before tomorrow morning, and while (at least this year) I'll believe it when I see it, it could potentially be happening.

We'll see. And depending upon how you feel, either keep your fingers crossed or start getting ready to curse out Mother Nature. I don't know that there's any other choice other than those two these days.
