At noon the Land of Delight was bathed in sunshine and thoughts of Spring. Sadness: below the Leland Toy Co. is having it’s close out sale.
Not much happening today, it’s cool and gray. On the way to town this morning I came upon a group of turkeys crossing M22. The boss turkey in full blown feathers all fanned out turned and started marching straight toward me in my lane. I of course stopped and he approached the front of the Jeep to the point where… Read more »
The sudden melting hasn’t changed the beachscape as the persistent west and northwest winds have swept and kept the beach clean of snow all winter. The inset is the Biscuit Report from one year ago yesterday. What’s left of this winters snow remains in plow mounds. After a rainy, foggy and in general dreary day, the sun has returned. Tomorrow the temperature… Read more »
Today’s pictures are revisits to familiar places with nice cloud formations. What is special about today is the temperature which is 66 degrees. The snow which has dominated our landscape is disappearing rapidly. The downside: One of the better iceboating seasons coming to an end, berging probably not an event as well as any activity associated with snow and ice. One year… Read more »
Today’s photographs are from a couple of hikes taken over the weekend in our nearby national lakeshore. The melting snow made patterns all over the dunes. It was still chilly enough that it probably wasn’t melting very fast while we were out there.
Cloudy skies at get-up, a rather depressing looking morning. In general our winter sky is cloudy or overcast and lake effect something. Winter 2016 has been more cloudy due to Big Blue not icing over. It can be sunny in Green Bay and with westerly winds, snowing here.

Woke up to the forecasted 1 to 2 inches of overnight snow as well as an overcast sky. The early morning still had a few flakes in the air. At noon the sky began to blue along with the rising temperatures. The ice boats at Nedow’s Bay were all parked with no pilots or wind to sail with. Met one… Read more »
Still a little nippy, but a blue sky and puffy white clouds make that nippy feel not bad at all. This is especially true when the wind is one mile per hour out of the southwest. The icy and hard crested snow is melting away making it a little easier to navigate the rough terrain. Total ice cover on the entire… Read more »
It was obvious this morning that today was going to be a great one. The sky was the messenger and indeed it is a great day. Looking back to 2003 on this date it was -19 degrees, 2009 it was -4 degrees and 159 total inches of snow, in 2012 17 inches of heavy wet snow fell and the next three days… Read more »
Our first stop in the morning is Fishtown and next… Van’s Beach. This is the reason you see the picture above so often. We started out our day with a dark cloudy sky and occasional flurries. Looking at the horizon to the west, there is some clearing. This afternoon patches of blue started to show through and it looks like it… Read more »
