Hey i live in Alpena,MI which is in northeastern lower michigan.I have been watching the incoming storm like a hawk,prolly like most of us.lol Anyways i noticed that winds are suppose to be east to northeast for a prolonged period of time.im wondering if this will increase the snowfall in my area or possibily hurt the total.Anyone have any input on this? i absolutley can not wait to see what pans out! Sounds like i will get my first ride in Friday!!!
