We're supposed to get a snowstorm Wednesday night into Thursday. I think the meteorologists are holding off on how major/minor it's going to be until it gets closer. I hope it's a big one.

I hope this early (normal) snow weather helps out the snow packs for the all areas. I'd like to see the Great Lakes water level go up this year!

You and everyone else in the state, Q!

I did hear that we were supposed to have less snowfall than normal this year, though. I hope that's not true.

The coldest air of the season is on the way and single digit lows for the next few days are expected. No big snowstorms though. It will be nice hiking weather so bring it on.

I got all this cool winter gear and nowhere to go.

45 right now, suppose to get in the 50's today, that's a little colder.

I guess it's perfect hiking weather.

I can't wait to use my new Polarguard jacket. I've tried it in some cooler weather, but now I'll get to see how it does in some single numbers.

Looks like it’s going to be cold for my day hike up Colden or Gothics (ADK’s) this weekend.

Artex – I’ll make sure to take some pictures for you.

Yep, it's 75 degrees out as I type this.

Don't get me wrong, I like warm weather. Just not smack dab in the middle of winter. It hasn't even reached the freezing point here in Tampa yet this year. I'm not sure if it even will.

The great cold here in the great state of Michigan gave me a wonderful opp to try out my Moonstone Cirrus jacket. Outstanding in the wind. I wore only a tee shirt and felt very little cold getting through with the 20 mph winds (at peak). I just wished it got colder!!!!
