People are complaining like crazy here in Grand Rapids.  Don’t know why snow haters live here.

I know right? Another dusting this morning lol.

I will say though...there's definitely a sizable contingent who do like winter. I mean obviously still the minority, but a lot more than just us weather weenies.

It’s been like another 4” of fluff every 24 hours here and too cold for salt to work most of the time.  Having a longer commute and always having to scrape the car is wearing on people.  I honestly would prefer to get snow all in one big dog event followed by blue sky compared to this.  This is still more fun than boring and gray.

These stat padders that vaporize in 2 hours are really not reflective of what has been complete sh*t since mid December

Dry is bad this time of year whether it’s warm or cold. Warm and dry here usually consists of temperatures around 35-40 and 30MPH winds. Might as well be cold enough to look like winter when the warm option is still cold. lol

Disagree. It’s going to be below 0 with more salt on the roads than snow on the ground. Hard pass

@beavis1729 I thought of you. This is deep deep winter. A thick drifty blanket of snow outside and I had to postpone a sledding promise to the nephews Saturday because its going to be TOO COLD to play in the snow!

Me:  The snow sure is pretty!
