Looking across Bear Lake from Kathy's house in North Muskegon, MI. Not pictured: 40mph wind gusts.

Kathy and I are back in Michigan for the holidays, which means we're getting our annual dose of cold and snowy weather. Christmas Eve brought freezing rain, which turned the roads into sheets of ice. Saturday and yesterday it was snow, and today's weather is characterized by 40 mile per hour wind gusts that are whistling around the house.

People complain about not having seasons in Los Angeles, but I just don't get it. I'm perfectly happy with 70 and sunny.

This looks like a postcard. Yes, hard to complain about about 70 degrees after scraping ice off a windshield, right?

Exactly. We're getting set to head to the airport, and there are big white snowflakes falling. Only problem is that they're falling sideways in the gusts, and the wind chill is 12 degrees.
