Four Letter Word - Snow

Unless you are an avid skier, snowboarder, or snowmobiler, snow is a four-letter word that most Michiganders hate hearing when it comes to weather reports.

First Big Snowstorm Hits One Michigan City

According to WOOD, the Upper Peninsula city of Ironwood got a big greeting from mother nature after receiving 17 inches of snow in 12 hours. Even though the Upper Peninsula is used to it, that is still a lot of snow to fall in a short time.
