Here in the Lake Superior snow belt, we've had a pretty good snow year so far receiving something over 100". These photos were taken over the weekend.

It is warm and sunny enough to ride a motorcycle on the south end of Lake Michigan. Our snow is melted and temps in the 50's persist. WTF?

Damn. You have twice as us. We're northwest of lake superior. This was yesterday. About a foot and a half. Seems most of the storms this year have swung below superior and across Michigan to you. Lake effect snow.

Snow kicked in over the past few days but not sure of the volume, maybe 2ft. Nonetheless, we could use it.

Whats been happening over Ironwood way?

I had to trudge through the deep snow on the deck yesterday to shovel snow off the roof around the satellite dish. I really need to get an extension post for it. Anyways, after the storm yesterday, we are sitting at about 3 feet of snow.

Our house roof and a few photos taken further up the Kewee. Not a great snow year with all the warm weather we've had.

Winter of 1992....went to Michigan Tech for the Snow Festival. Drove 8+ hrs in a Mustang GT from Chicago....almost running out of gas with a foot+ of snow on the ground in the UP. I remember eating pickled eggs off a bar top at 2:00am.....and being told we were going to the “gay” bar in the morning for breakfast....

Beautiful up there! It’s the hangovers I can do without.....you guys have hollow legs.

We are received little snippets of snow here in the Keweenaw of MI. We went for a ski on Sunday and took these photos at a campground we use and cleared the NFS trail found there. This is a ways south of us and ironically, this is not in the lake snow belt. More can be had on the dogs blog.

On Saturday we meet sled friends for a ride to the middle branch of the Ontonagon river. This is all on forest roads in the Ottawa NF and a few miles north of Bruce crossing MI. Our friend had said there was an interesting cabin to see out there and knew its owner. In the 3rd photo is wolf tracks. Our snow reminds good.

With temps near or above freezing most days, them below freezing at night. We're still skiing here while having a nice, slow melt. Of course we have received just a skiff of snow now and then. More photos on da dogs blog.


Hope you like them!

We've cooled off here on the south shore of da BIG lake but no snow yet and many nights below freezing. If the lake got real warm this summer, that increases our lake snow.

We got a snippet of snow today. Nothing serious or anything that will last. We've had waaaaaaay to much moisture here this fall.
