You Think Michigan Winter 2014 is Bad? You Missed Blizzard of 1978

Our daughter called from Lafayette, Louisiana to say that life has pretty much shut down there due to the ice and snow. And she's making with the "you people call this winter?" jokes! She is a product of Grand Haven, Michigan. Home of dune-inspired "lake effect snow." You basically have our Great Lakes to thank for sending you that white stuff in bulk.



Since moving down south, she kept the snow brush dad gave her in her car. She got a lot of ribbing in those 105 degree summers. Well, now no one's laughing. In fact they're queuing up to borrow it! Dad is so proud of his baby girl's German common sense. He quipped, "yeah, she's probably the only one in the whole darn state to have one, unless it's in a gag gift shop."   You Think Winter 2014 is Bad? You Missed the Blizzard of 1978
