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 »
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 »
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 »

With a foreword by Susan Ager and stories from Sandra Serra… Read more »

The average high for today is 31 degrees and the forecast is for it to sky rocket to upper 30’s by Friday reaching an… Read more »
Again… and again, it’s the wind. and lake effect snow. The picture above shows some changes to the sky with spots of blue. Ice is starting to build on the shoreline. Maybe we will have some decent weather soon. The Leland Report/Leif Spork Snow Gauge contest is closed. We had a total of 47 entries. We will report the final… Read more »
A great sunrise somewhere this morning, but not here. A fog rolled over North Lake Leelanau at sunrise and East Leland disappeared. Biscuit and I arrived in Fishtown just as a burst of sunshine created a picture postcard and by the time we arrived at Van’s Beach, fog again. The Leland Report/Leif Spork Snow Gauge contest is closed. We had… Read more »
A great sunrise this morning with a clear blue sky, something we haven’t seen for while. It didn’t take long for the clouds to take over as are in the path of another winter storm. Blizzard conditions on the other side of Big Blue while on this side we are expecting 1 to 3 inches of heavy wet snow, then… Read more »
