Just as Michigan was starting to warm up and the snow was starting to melt, Mother Nature came in with a wallop this past weekend.
From Monroe to Ishpeming, motorists found themselves stranded, school kids had yet another snow day, utility workers found themselves putting in overtime, and the snowplows were out en masse.
The Mining Journal reports that even the die-hard ski jumpers in the Upper Peninsula had to wait a day or two as the Paul Bietila Memorial Ski Jumping Tournament was canceled due to the weather. Residents there were expected to see as much as a foot of snow before all was said and done.
With temperatures in the 30's for the next couple days, it looks like we may get that reprieve from the frosty bite of the air, but don't store away the scraper for your car just yet!

It was snowing that hard? When I lived in Michigan (I moved now) right now it would start to warm up and have little snow. I lived in Holland where we would get tons of snow from lake effect from Lake Michigan. My friends told me they had a lot of snowdays, and where I live it doesn's snow at all.
We've had some decent snow this year. There was a big long warm spell in January but February has been fairly normal. We're supposed to get a serious storm on Thursday but things are warming up. I would have a hard time if there was no snow.
