  1. With 3 separate waves of rain and thunder, we totaled 2.19" of rain here from Thursday night through early this morning. Like magic the grass has started greening up, literally overnight.
  2. These next few weeks will probably be the worst. Literally not leaving the house
  3. I am absolutely Social distancing myself. Went to the grocery store today for essentials for myself and my parents. Wore gloves, sanitized everything. Have been washing my hands a million times. I will not be going anywhere for several more weeks, not a store, not anywhere. I just hope everyone else who does not have to go out to work has the same attitude. I am fortunate to be able to work from home and even work is being lax and even having virtual happy hours lol. I have become my parents parent lol, telling them a 100 times a day they cannot go anywhere. I'm 36, I do not smoke and I just had a physical where everything was good...only thing I worry about is I am overweight. I keep telling everybody who will listen, you may have cabin fever now, in this is not going to be over soon, but the more isolated we all are now will get this over quicker.
  4. Michigan gets an A for social distancing so far https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2020/03/25/coronavirus-covid-19-social-distancing-grades-michigan/2911429001/
  5. 38.4" here. There were some decent storms this Winter, cant complain about that. In my opinion storms falling apart was not an issue locally. Periods of sustained Winter and more frequent Lake effect and enhanced snow is what was really the lacking aspect.
  6. I guess I have not been paying attention because I too had no idea Columbus had that much rain. Detroit is only at 1.58" precipitation for the month, was 1.39" before yesterdays snowfall. Toledo is only at 2.00", was 1.81" before yesterday's snow.
  7. Total snowfall 1.8" here, season total 38.4". DTW had 1.7", season total 38.3". Snowfall was a general 1 to 2.5" in SE MI. The scenes last night were gorgeous, then as melting was already well underway this morning, a last burst of huge feathers came thru.
  8. Wow nice. Snowing beautifully out right now, but only expecting an inch or two, so definitely won't be our best snow of the season lol. Nighttime in late March ftw though, began accumulating on the grass immediately.
  9. What was your biggest snow this season?
  10. Of course, I always welcome snow.
  11. 21 degrees rt now. Snow coming this evening, a nice little distraction
  12. I to am working from home until further notice. One of my good friends put up a few Christmas things, I know some people think it's crazy but honestly Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for many and this whole watching Christmas movies & listening to Christmas music honestly does cheer people up.
  13. Yesterday morning temperature briefly soared into the mid 60s, warmest in 5 months, then after the strong cold front they fell all day and night. This morning dawned with a few flurries and temperatures in the mid 20s, 40゚ colder than yesterday at the same time
  14. Haha our deepest snow was before Thanksgiving this year. I always love snow but I get what you're saying. My winter loving mom has almost the same timeframe as you....start at Thanksgiving and end early to mid March. That said, i cant think of anything gloomier during this pandemic than the cold dreary rain falling outside right now.
  15. Shame on anyone that treats you badly!!! I don't know what's wrong with people, this mass htsteria buying was created by the public, not those who serve the public. I've actually been working from home since March 9th. We get one week to work from home a month (last week was my week) during which we have one Skype meeting with our boss to catch up on some stuff. However, effective this week until further notice, the entire office is working from home daily, so we have a quick daily 9am meeting on Skype. I literally texted my boss that I'm going to miss tomorrow's meeting because I have an aldi by my house that I want to get to as soon as they open to get a few essentials. I feel getting there right when they open is my best chance. It's ridiculous that I have to feel like Pa Ingalls out hunting in the wild, but that's what it's come to.
  16. Sitting at 36.4" on the season (36.6" Detroit) since Feb 27....ground bare since March 2nd. Only a trace of snow since...might as well throw in a few spring snows during quarantine.
  17. Pretty much the same as Michigan, effective 3pm today
  18. There is definitely some credence to your grandparents memories. The 1950s winters in this region were mild, overall subpar snow seasons with an unusually high number of spring snowstorms. At Detroit, 1951, 1954, 1955, and 1956 all saw notable snowstorms on or after the spring equinox, and in fact, three consecutive winters (1953-54, 1954-55, 1955-56) saw the seasons largest snowstorm in March.
  19. Congrats to those down south. Certainly no complaints as I know I've lucked out relatively speaking this Winter, but it seems every March we are watching spring type snowstorms track south of here into indiana lol
  20. Oh yes, anytime I work from home I hear that from my friends and family who do not, that I have it made lol. I do understand the distracted and complacent part. As it is when I know my work from home week is coming up I plan my schedule a little lighter lol. Obviously to do it full time it would require a bit more discipline, but it's a discipline that I am ready for.
  21. I love working from home, I would be curious to see if I did it full time if it wasn't "all it's cracked up to be" lol. We had already increased our work from home from a few days a month last year to one week a month this year. Again, I love it. But now that I have to work from home until at least March 30th, it will be interesting to see if I feel any sort of stir crazy or still absolutely love having no commute. Im a nature lover so I to go out to the parks regardless of where I'm working, I love getting fresh air.
  22. I'll be working from home until at least March 30th. Let's sneak in one last snowstorm lol
  23. After 61 on Sunday was our 1st 60+ since October 29th, we hit 63 yesterday and then stayed in the 50s overnight with high dew points. I have a shaded part of the side of my wide driveway, which gets no sun, and has had some form of a snow pile since November 11th (with exception of a few days after Christmas). It with huge just a week ago, it now completely melted overnight.
  24. Without looking up the exact numbers, I would imagine so
