(Report by Jim) A wicked SE Wind brought warm air and rain to Leelanau all day today. The surf on the West side was nill, but on the East side it was predictably rough, these being taken just north of Northport. The ice below was at Leelanau State Park. Appropriately, we went and saw Aquaman tonight at the IMAX in Traverse… Read more »

(Report by Jim) There was sun today! Didn’t see it? I almost didn’t, either! I went down to Sleeping Bear Dunes to see if anyone was sledding, found a few post-christmas sledders and some blue sky. It didn’t last long, however, but it was enough.

(Report by Jim) Christmas Evening. Sunset views from two locations, South Beach (above by me) and the Clay Cliffs (below by John). Cold out there, but you stay as long as it takes to get the shot. Merry Christmas!

(Report by Jim) Holly Pop is at the Old Art Building today and tomorrow. Stop in and get some holiday goods and make some cool crafts with “Leland Gal” Maggie! There are still some cool ice sculptures out on the Breakwall. Will be mostly gone by the end of today, though.

  (Report by Jim) Santa Claus is riding in style! I was up at the tree lighting and parade in Leland. Earlier I was freezing my *** off on North Beach (It was North Beach before the sign and will be North Beach long after the sign comes down). It’s going to be in the 40s soon so these ice… Read more »

  (Report by Jim) Last two days have been fairly grey. Today’s photos are a mixture of the last three. The last one below is today. Today, I got the pleasure of driving back from Traverse City in a snowstorm. I also found out I need new tires. Slowing down for stop signs taught me how to pray again. I… Read more »
