I am seeing something I've never seen before

[gibraltar72]

South Central Michigan snow flakes 3 inches in diameter. I've seen lots of snow storms. But this is spectacular. They have been relatively huge all day. Last 30 minutes have really been something.

4. Yes started as rain this morning

on way home from gym I thought biggest I'd seen at about two inches. Heavy all day then turned yuuuge. Tapering off now Not sure if I'll plow or wait till the morrow. Got no place to go.

7. I've seen similar, but not quite that large.

It's beautiful, but snow like that is devilishly wet and heavy. I hope you don't get too much of it.

heavy yes apparently brought lines down lost power just as I started doing taxes. Veteran of Michigan storms never seen the like.
