How nice it was to awaken to clear skies and rising temperatures. It lasted the morning and by early afternoon… mostly cloudy. The wind is still a major factor, but a impending storm with prospects of 22 inches of new has been shelved, at least for the moment. I missed the JOY being returned to Fishtown as I drove to… Read more »
Overnight Big Blue throttled down a whole bunch of mph’s. People who come down here to the shoreline often pause for a minute or two facing the islands and look like they are saying a few words before heading south. Below a group of ice boaters preparing for a great day on probably the best ice conditions in years. … Read more »
No snow at get-up time, just a lot of wind gusting to over 30. We live downhill to the western breezes and hear the roar but don’t feel the full force of it as it goes high over our heads. At the shoreline is another story. It’s difficult at times for me to stay on my feet, especially when I’m taking a… Read more »
So far the nasty weather hasn’t reached us. The “Dark Sky” app on my iPhone says light snow starting around midnight with accumulation of less than an inch. I have found this app far more accurate than the TV weather persons. At the moment, radar shows much of the southern parts of the state getting hammered.
A nice quiet morning with a lot of blue in the sky and hardly a ripple on Big Blue. A lot of conversation and speculation about a weather system sweeping from the Southwest with heavy wet snow tomorrow night. They think it will hit the southeastern upper half of the lower peninsula, another model suggests that it will hit the… Read more »
A mostly cloudy day with some here and there sunshine. Below, the inset shows how different the beach is contrasted with a year ago, yet this winter is just as wintery as last year. Certainly, rock collecting wasn’t an option.
A beautiful sunrise this morning was a pleasant greeting to what has become a very nice day. The clouds probably have been the most interesting. Ice has been the most challenging. Rain last night melted the snow layer on the path to South Beach leaving it solid ice and sent me home. The warmer temperatures are melting the snow, which makes… Read more »
The Emerald Green Big Blue! Cloudy, but a nice morning to reflect on how wonderful it is to be here in the Land of Delight. At the moment the temperature is around 50 degrees with gusts of wind around 40 or more mph. The sun came to visit for an hour or so and the snow is melting. I find… Read more »
The sun rises, you can see it… and Leland becomes a “Watercolor World”. Of course the clouds moved back in and we returned to normal. The Leland Report Book is going to happen! 120 Pages of photos from the last 15 years, some never seen before on the Leland Report. With a foreword by Susan Ager and stories from Sandra Serra… Read more »
Nothing much happening around town today. The weather people say that there will be sunshine… someplace, but not here yet. In fact, at the moment there are snowflakes in the air. In the forecast… warming for a couple of days with possible rain drops. And then, of course, falling temperatures. The Leland Report Book is going to happen! 120 Pages… Read more »
