Observations from driving thru the blizzard from Harbor Springs, MI yesterday 4p to midnight. 32 degrees for 4 hours to Indiana state line. Crazy snow bursts. Felt like someone dropped a dump truck of snow on us intermittently. Temperature fell dramatically near state line. Fort Wayne to Anderson had a lot a snow plows out. Roads clear. As soon as we got near Anderson, the roads appeared to not be plowed. Wind gusts blowing car around from Fort Wayne to home. Thankfully arrived home at midnight.
