2. I've been watching weather nerds on YouTube for the last couple of days puzzle it out.

I'm concerned because I have to drive from Lansing to Grand Rapids (about 140 miles roundtrip) on Monday for an appointment at my pain clinic. So far, it's not looking too good--most models show Michigan getting dumped on. I'd hate to reschedule but I'll be damned if I'm going to drive through a blinding snowstorm with gusts up to 50 mph. They charge $50 if you cancel the same day, but it would be worth it. Even though I have a 4-wheel drive Subaru, I don't trust other drivers. I'd hate to get trapped by a 5-car pileup in the middle of nowhere. Yahoos drive like maniacs on I-96.

I know it's a long way out and there are so many variables, but it looks like I might just have to reschedule my appointment, hunker down and make a pot of split pea soup, my traditional Michigan blizzard go-to meal, lol. Some models say we could get up to 20" of snow before it's all over.

Then again, it could be 40F with rain showers.

I'll be watching closely. At least nobody is predicting an ice storm. Those are the worst.
