Here in Southern Michigan, USA, I have been busy today shoveling 3 to 4 inches of that white Global Warming off of the driveway. The piles on the side of the drive keep getting higher and higher!
The snow is what we call Lake Effect. That is when cold air passes over the "warmer" open water of Lake Michigan. It picks up the moisture and drops it over the colder land, like here!
While I was out shoveling earlier, it would be snowing like heck one moment and bright sunshine the next. And a few moments later, snowing!
Fortunately, it is light dry snow. That is the stuff skiers love! But I don't ski!
The temps are about 20F with a single digit wind chill.
We are to finally get above freezing this weekend. Then back to below freezing next week.
To our Aussie friends, want to cool off, come here!
