Have you heard of timehop.com? You connect it to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, then it sends you a daily email telling you what you posted a year ago that day. This morning, my email from Timehop said I posted this on Facebook:
“It’s snowing and everyone has already forgotten how to drive. {At a complete stop on highway as cars heading into downtown Lansing take exits at 5 mph} “
That’s why we have a saying here in Michigan – “Don’t like the weather? Wait a minute. It will change!”
There was frost on the van windshield this morning and on the ground, but fortunately, no snow. It’s been 32 degrees at night, which means the heat is STILL on. I know it’s only April, but it just seems wrong!
Fortunately, I hadn’t packed away all my winter clothes yet. I don’t know anyone in Michigan personally who packs away their winter clothes before the end of May. I still have my nice warm ‘Damart’ cardigans to layer over t-shirts, and they stay on all day because it’s so dang cold! I even got up last night after I had gotten into bed and put on SOCKS because my feet were so cold, it was keeping me awake.
And Kaitlyn has been wearing her fleece-lined hoodie to school, with her WINTER HAT AND GLOVES because at 7:40 in the morning when she’s standing in the driveway waiting for the bus, it’s barely 40 degrees. I’m actually kind of surprised it hasn’t snowed!
What’s the weather like in your part of the country? Are you still bundling up like we are? Share in a comment!

I absolutely love Michigan weather. I’m always telling people to give it a few minutes before it changes!

Never been heard of that site till now, it’s like a reminder of what happened from past to present. That’s interesting. I will check it out. Thanks for the Timehop.

Hey that is interesting. Last year at this time we had a less hot weather but because of global warming the weather is very very hot this time. Last year at this time there was a bit cloudy weather and we are missing it now!
I live in France and it snowed here recently. I sold my car just before….ever tried cycling 8 miles on ice? Not recommended!
Never heard of timehop, sounds cool, will definitely check it out.
I am here on the east coast and it has been unusually warm here this week. It almost hit 90 on Monday which seems crazy for the middle of April, but I will take it over the cold there in Michigan! I went to Traverse City, Michigan seven years ago and I was cold in the August ! Very scenic up there with all the lakes and Christmas tree farms, but too cold ! I just connected my facebook to timehop and it said I just purchased some fleece fabric and I am going to start to make some new blankets! Such a neat application if you trying to remember the past . Maybe I should send some over to Michigan since it seems frigid out there still!
It hasn’t snowed in a few weeks, but give it time, it probably will in May. I just harvested an overwintered broccoli crown from the garden, so it hasn’t been a super, super cold year. Which is weird. I’ve been debating washing the kids’ (mud covered) snow pants to at least put up in the guest room closet, but haven’t done it yet. We’re still totally using the snow boots and winter coats though, just the way we roll in the northwest.

haha never heard of timehop till now! Anyways I never seen snow in my town in california.. interesting weather in michigan.. I’m not sure how to adapt to a lifestyle where weather changes every few seconds :O
Can’t say that I’ve ever heard of timehop but it sounds pretty cool. This has been the freakiest year ever for weather but I’m not complaining. It was wonderful to have spring start in February.
One of the things I remember about growing up in Michigan was the sheer number of people who owned SUVs and thought that four-wheel drive gave them licenses to drive at 70 miles per hour on the freeway after a fresh snow. Meanwhile I’m doing 25 in my little car just trying to get to work in one piece and it’s like, “hey guys? I’d rather not get hit by you today!”
