One of our churches called off service yesterday…too much snow.
Temps went as low as -7 as far as I last knew
Wind chill–they said -30
We got a bunch of snow…church members said that a real winter in the UP is having yesterday every other day all winter long
If things keep going the way they are, one of these days, Alanna is going to come out of her house and not be able to find her car (It’s a really low car)
I hate blowing snow! — we have to do it like all the time now!
We are still under Winter Storm Warning with like 6 more inches of snow to come
Visibility is at 0 sometimes (they call them white-outs)
Wind chill is now hitting -35
Even the dog doesn’t want to go outside hahahahaha
And we are all sick but will get over it in a couple of days.
I’m going to go make The North Face rich as soon as these UP winter sport stores open!

yikes! and I thought that 6 degrees in Ann Arbor was COLD!:-/Have you thought about getting a generator? A couple weeks ago, some people in A2 lost power and they had no heating… you certainly cannot afford that!glad to know you guys are getting better.We’ll see you soon! (gulp!)
Yeah, be careful while driving, ok? I’m going to recover and order some pizza today. =)
Brrrr!! Israel, you’ll love this California weather. I hope it sticks around for when ECom comes. It’s supposed to be in the 80’s today. My parents are getting slammed with lots of weather down in Berrien, too. Supposedly they’re under blizzard conditions this weekend.Get well soon! Take care of yourselves… don’t venture out unnecessarily… drink lots of hot liquids…
I’m sooooo jealous. Wish I had snow. Even if I had to snowblow it everyday! Kiss the baby for me. 🙂
I’m so glad I don’t live any further north than Ann Arbor. I can barely stand the bitter wind on my face. Tonight after Sebastien’s Revelation Bible study was over, Azibo bundled up to go outside. When he was finished, all you could see was his eyes. He looked like he was going to rob a bank. You guys probably look even scaried than him when you bundle up…or, at least you should look scarier. 🙂
Please excuse the typos.
wow…
wow, pretty cold i can say! I’m not good at Fehrenheit degrees , but here it has been the coldest so far too, but not as much snow. Just be careful not to have your ears fall off ;). Blessings and hope you’ll feel better soon.
I don’t think humans were created to live in such conditions.
maybe I don’t like the UP so much!oh yah Judy, I had been calling for Alanna, but I got the treat of hearing Imanuel on my voicemail now. This makes me happy.Gets wells soons alls
