December arrives with a bang

For all of you living in the midwest you were fortunate enough to witness the first of many winter storms in the month of December. After a wonderfully warm thanksgiving weekend that stayed around til the end of November, Michigan weather finally caught up and hit Grand Rapids as well as the rest of the state with serious force. I scraped ice a quarter inch thick off of my car this morning and when I got home watched the ice come down for close to two hours. That was followed by some wicked snow that continues to fall. Just when I was begining to wonder if we would ever get snow Michigan answers with a great season opener. 400 schools in West Michigan closed including WMU and CMU. Not on the list of closers was good old GVSU who opted to let their 20,000 plus commuters fight through ice and snow to turn in papers and take exams. I'm just glad my prof cancelled class this morning.
