The snow is blowing totally sideways. They had a bulldozer come down the street about an hour ago, but it's even worse now.

But what's the point of pushing it all into a pile that will just be blown back all over the parking lot by morning? They were even shoveling the walk, completely unnecessary since nobody is going to walk outside in this.

I just seen 2 flashes of lightning and heard thunderstorm and the snow picked up by intensity. That was the first time I have ever seen that.

The wind is supposed to be blowing so hard we could go surfing on Lake Michigan!!! The house is shaking and the birdfeeders are swinging wildly! Hopefully we won't lose our roof in this wind.

No lightning here yet.

Did you consider opening your door and asking him?

The door probably can't open due to snow.

No because then I'd have to shovel inside!

They just came again, at almost midnight. Truly bizarre.
