A storm that threatens to dump a foot of snow on parts of northern Michigan just in time for the holiday is only expected to dust Wyandotte with precipitation.
The first major storm this winter – which could leave portions of the Great Lakes region under a foot of snow as the season officially gets under way Friday, Dec. 21 – largely will spare Wyandotte.

Show of hands: Who went out without gloves this week or rode with a car window open? You're not alone. January just went out like a lamb, a two-months-early calendar twist that's unusual here.

Even though the calendar says spring, Old Man Winter has not released his grips on us just yet. A winter storm warning has been issued for Macomb County and parts of southeast Michigan.

We were able to do some outdoor work at the cottage that I thought I'd have to wait for spring to do. I've tilled up a portion of my backyard twice to get it ready for new grass seed. This is the first time in my fifty some years that I can remember a … more ›
