    At my home we got sleet, snow, and some wind but not the extent to which had been forecasted. It’s icy enough to keep me indoors and I see some tree branches that have fallen due to the weight of the snow. I know there are thousands of homes that lost power, but fortunately we were not one. Right now the temperature is 26 degrees with a wind chill of 14, and we are heading into a week of temperatures in the teens for highs and single digits to below zero for lows.

    First thing I noticed when I started my walk this morning is the number of squirrels out and about. Temps are going above normal today, and they seem gleeful.

    We traveled from the southern most point to the northern most point of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last week during near peak fall colors.
