Chicago Lakefront 10:00 AM Dec 23Of course, I don't think I'd want to be crossing the Mackinac Bridge today, either.http://cam.mackinacbridge.org/fullsize.jpg
 
It's pretty windy on the other side of Michigan today, too. Of course, my first reaction when I saw just the title of this thread was to post, "When DH had broccoli and bean soup and a glass of milk." :D
 
I woke up about 3:30 a.m. to very scary wind. It was loud -- kind of like a train. I made my husband leave our 2nd story bedroom and go to the first floor. We turned on the TV but there were only severe storm warnings, no tornado watches or warnings.
 
We had wind here this a.m. but it has died down. Just lots of snow now!

I hope it is better south...and the game gets better too!
 
Very Windy on the West Coast of Michigan! Severe Winter Storm warnings, and wind advisories out right now......

and KG - I have made my DH leave the highway and stay in Mackinaw City when the wind has been less than this - so there is NO WAY I would be on that bridge today!
 
Quite windy here, a mile west of Lake MI. I don't really need to work very hard at walking. Just lifting my feet and being carried.
 
Whiteout winds and snow here today!

Ok, I am sick...tell me something I don't already know! The winds have picked up here too...just wish the snow would stop melting and start falling! This is my only time of year to get out and really enjoy it.
 
Very windy here too, all day long! All of our snow melted with strong rain this morning. We've had a few snow showers, but not enough to give us a white Christmas:(!
 
There's snow on the ground, but it's so windy that you can still see the grass in some spots. There's snow on the windows and doors, too. It looks like someone sprayed it on. Hard to tell how much snow has really fallen.
 
we had a very weird night of weather in NJ too---windy 55 and then thunder and lightening---In Dec-----thats weird in NJ----
In Florida the T/L storms were always crazy-----load---

How ironic to be on Chef Success for the first time in a couple of weeks and see this thread. Those mighty winds caused a wonderful old tree to fall on my house. Here's the story and the pictures:

Rae,

I was going to ask you if this was at that time. The wind scared the heck out of me. Glad everyone is okay and that your house (and cars) came out in such good shape!
