Ready for spring

All of the snow in the yard has melted. The area has had multiple days of 40 degrees and sunshine. And it will be ruined Saturday with the snow that the county is supposed to receive. I'll be so happy when it is time to finally put the shovels away for the season. I'm tired of shoveling the sidewalk, porch and back deck. Spring can't get here fast enough.

A look at what is coming my way Saturday morning:

Issued by The National Weather Service
Detroit, MI 3:33 am EST, Fri., Feb. 20, 2009

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING AND BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THE SNOW WILL DIMINISH BY LATE SATURDAY EVENING. TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES ARE EXPECTED.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

I'm with you. Covering a polar plunge in the middle of a snowstorm this morning? Brutal.

We didn't get as much as was predicted, which was nice. I think we got about 2-3 inches and some nice blowing winds to go along with that.
