Yes, it IS somewhat illogical - especially as it's often the first
snow of the season, or close to it, and the drivers in Michigan have
forgotten in the last few months that they ever knew how to drive on
snow and ice. But I still love it. Southern Michigan is no where near

Gentle Spiders,
Yesterday, I was baulked of going grocery shopping (and the attendant
senior citizen discount); there had been some more accumulation, and DH
refused to shift. Not even if I dug out my car and did the driving...

In Virginia, our climate is not so far off from that in
Indiana...(~slightly~ warmer, perhaps...) We do have hot
summers (complete with high humidity), and during the
winter, we average 4 - 6 significant snow storms a year...
