We are at 13, right now, with a -3 wind chill. However, temperatures are set to plummet to -9 tonight and they are warning of -30 to-40 wind chills. The frightening thing is the prediction for icy pellets on Friday. The last time that happened, 2 weeks ago, I lost power for 6 days. I am definitely NOT ready for a 3rd weather crisis in 3 weeks!

We ended up with over 16 inches of snow - the 3rd highest accumulation in Michigan's recorded weather history - courtesy of yesterday's storm.
