Winter Weather Advisory In Effect

So I'm minding my business in the WITL Studio this afternoon and a colleague of mine busted through the door and said, "Hey did you know it's snowing?"

Actually, even though we have a lot of windows in the studio I hadn't noticed. But when I looked out the window, there wasn't much snow. But when I left this evening...there was much more falling.

So welcome to Michigan weather, my friends. In fact the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids has reported that we are under a Winter Weather Advisory. Here's more from their website:
