ok so thhis winter started out good, got about 6 inches of snow on thankgiving, so snowboarding the first 3 times was good, the fourth time sucked and yesterday, it was 50, but i was still phyced (sp) they were having it, so im riding up the huge chairlift that takes about 5 minutes to get up and its on the backside of the mountain: it started raining outta the blue, of course i wasnt wearing a jacket so i got soaked, then i get to the top, start puttting my binding on and it starts hailing marbles, the big ones. so putting only one binding strap on i started going down the hill getting hit by theese and they feel like friggin painballs. well to make a long story short, michigan weather is crazy and im starting to not like it.

our winters may not be the best but i love our summers. 75-85 degrees almost everyday. This winter was a little crazy but oh well, our seasons seem to run in cycles. We have a couple decents winters, then a really warm one (this one) a couple nice summers, then a really cool one. Worst part of this winter is i have to wash my truck everyweek :mad: i hate living on a dirt road sometimes

Yeah, and all year I've been hearing nothing but, "this winter is going to be crazy, with record snowfalls!" I hope they're right, I wanna see a HUGE snowstorm!
