"How did you spend the last Monday of 2025?"

Some serious Winter weather moving thru Michigan today and tonight.
Weather service calls it a "bomb cyclone",lol. Also read on one of the weather apps
that the drop in pressure in this weather pattern is equivalent to a cat1 hurricane.

I don't know if any of that is true, but I do know there is some serious wind chill
outside, I felt it when I removed the snow from my driveway. I'm used to the cold, but this windchill was something different. Hard to tell with all of the drifting, but I think we had 8 fresh inches of lake effect at 6pm. End of driveway had 2 foot drifts across it. And it wasn't from plow trucks going by, as they have not started yet due to the high winds and continued heavy snow fall. I'm sure they are plowing in laying down sand on the main roads, so travel is possible, just not smart, unless it's an emergency.

The weather is bad enough that even the cross country ski area that I frequent is
closed down, and people are advised to stay home.

I'm in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan, and while we are truly getting
hit, it is nothing like how the Lake Superior communities in the Upper Peninsula
are getting hit. So no complaints here, hoping that the wind calms down and there
is skiing available tomorrow. But I won't be surprised if it takes until Wednesday
for things to open up. Today I stayed home, worked on some woodworking projects
in my garage. Won't be surprised if it is more of that tomorrow. But have power, heat, and food, so it is truly all good.
