Title: Wonderland
Post by: MattBurt on January 09, 2023, 12:57:22 pm: We had out first significant freezing fog event of the season here over the weekend and the transformation of the landscape has been magical. Yesterday morning was especially nice and I went out for a couple of hours in the subzero (F) temps. Well worth it!

I'll take your negative Fahrenheit AND snow vs my gray/black around freezing in SW Michigan (typing this from the comfort of my heated home)

Yeah having grown up in SE Michigan, I feel your pain! The winters were a big reason I wanted to go elsewhere once I could!
