We had a bit of thunder and lightning. Lots of wind and about 7 inches of
snow up here in Bloomfield Hills, but only about 5 inches downtown and at
the airport. Shouldn't prove to be much of a problem. Don't know about
power outages, but mine is on.

About 10 miles south west of Paul we never approached the 'blizzard'
conditions forcasted for the Detroit area. No thunder or lightning.
As of 11 am this morning there was about 4 to 7 " new snow on the ground,
very little drifting. It continues to snow as I type this.
So much for the weather hype for Detroit.

The thunder and lightening we're having is amazing--a 1st time experience
for me. I just tried to take some shots off the back landing, but it's
hard to lock on for focus and you're fighting elements constantly--so I
didn't really get anything. Also, it's hard to photograph; the snow
looks like glitter, not big snowflakes. I tried for some swirling snow,
but when the wind picks up it makes me unsteady and I lose control. When
I use the tripod, I can't manuver quickly when I spot snow swirles. I'd
have to say the elements are challenging.
I also got beaned pretty good by the snow in the cheeks--got a little
bump on my left cheek under my left eye. Snow accumulation by us not much
of a story yet, but the wind, thunder, and lightening clearly the story.
We hear wind and occassion gates thumping. 79 thousand people are
already without power in the Chicagoland area. Not good. Christine
