And probably playing my Telecaster.

We get lake effect snow here in West Michigan CONSTANTLY. We might as well live in Buffalo N.Y. (probably the most well known lake effect snow city) Sometimes adds up to more than ten feet by the end of winter. I only live about a mile from Lake Michigan, right where the snow starts falling really heavily from the lake effect. Still we have it easy compared to a spot in the U.P. named Herman Mi. that averages close to 300 inches a season and got a record 30 inches of snow in 24 hours. It is known as the snowiest place east of the Rockies.
This is the accumulation of our last dumping on over the course of 24 hours (totaling close to 18 inches.) Funny thing here is it might do that every other day all winter.
