South Central Michigan snow flakes 3 inches in diameter. I've seen lots of snow storms. But this is spectacular. They have been relatively huge all day. Last 30 minutes have really been something.

on way home from gym I thought biggest I'd seen at about two inches. Heavy all day then turned yuuuge. Tapering off now Not sure if I'll plow or wait till the morrow. Got no place to go.

It's beautiful, but snow like that is devilishly wet and heavy. I hope you don't get too much of it.
