This blizzard is not really that much, there will likely be only about 12” of snow with temps +25F or above. But the winds will be at 30 mph or better.

Sounds like the beginning of some good camping weather.

Was looking at a new Trango 3. Would be good weather to break it in on.

8 years ago tomorrow, I moved from Detroit area to Baltimore for a new job. My family and most of my stuff stayed in Detroit till we sold the house.

About month after I moved in, we had a whopper of a snowstorm.

Keep in mind, I was told that winters in Maryland are mild and there’s never any snow, so my boots, snow pants, etc were all in Detroit.

We got three feet of snow. I remember walking outside my corporate apartment as these huge monster snowflakes were falling in droves wishing that I had my tent. I would have set it up outside the apartment and had a great time. But no, it was at home.

I made up for it though. My corporate apartment time ran out and I moved the next day, in 3 feet of snow to a new place I’d rented.

The city shut down. Those were my first ever snow days from work. In Michigan, you don’t shut down for snow. You leave two hours early for work.
