Can't Hurt! 2 Dozen Do 'Snow Dance'

ST. CLAIR (WWJ/AP) - Two dozen people moved to the right and then to the left, hoping a little dance outside a bar in Michigan's Thumb might bring much-needed snow for a weekend festival.

St. Clair, a small town south of Port Huron, is holding the annual Winter White Out festival. Like much of eastern Michigan, it lacks snow. So a group of people gathered outside LaCroix's Riverside Pub on Wednesday night in a desperate attempt to stimulate the clouds.

The Port Huron Times Herald says flurries actually did fall, but St. Clair needs much more. One of the events is a snowman contest.

On Thursday, forecasters were calling for a wintry mix to hit some areas of Michigan, mostly south of Detoit near the Ohio border.  As for the weekend, there's a chance of a little snow or flurries Saturday and Sunday.
