No surprise this morning waking up to 10 inches of new. The real surprise was that it wasn’t as bad as the weather reports all day long predicted. If you didn’t have all wheel or 4 wheel drive, driving was a little iffy in the early morning. Below, Francie Gits, director, members of the Museum Board and friends toast and thank Norbert… Read more »

Above picture from this date in 2013. With the temperature over 40 and at the moment sun shining, there isn’t going to be any snow left when this day ends, even in Suttons Bay. Tomorrow, rain. Back in the 1950’s, my wife along with many other Lelanders took ski lessons with Peppi Teichner at Sugar Loaf Mt. and in the 60’s, 70’s… Read more »

I went out Friday morning to see the three freighters that are proving Good Harbor Bay true to its name. Strong winds caused the Great Republic, Algoma Navigator, and Algosoo (L to R) to stop here overnight. Click here to enter the 2016 Snow Gauge contest! Win a custom Leif Spork tile!

The morning began sounding like a war zone with lightning and thunder which actually shook the house. A rainy, sometimes heavy, morning which makes it tough to do our Biscuit thing. It will probably take all day to dry him off. Click here to enter the 2016 Snow Gauge contest! Win a custom Leif Spork tile!

The wind overnight sounded like a freight train roaring through. Gusts of 54 mph caused a brief power out that made the clock flash on and off. Outside of that, Christmas is only two weeks away and there is no snow. Getting over to the shoreline to take a picture wasn’t the easiest, but it’s part of the job. A good gust… Read more »

I wondered what December 9th was like back when I started the Leland Report and discovered that there are as many snowless days as there are snowy. I assume that there were misty ones too. I noticed that Leif had changed his clothes again, probably because of the warmer weather. Herr Professor apparently doesn’t have a change. The fish sausage… Read more »

Today’s snow report from Suttons Bay is 34 inches shy of one year ago. Most folks around here would prefer snow to this rain. The 10 day forecast has temperature highs in the forties. Meteorologists are predicting that this year’s El Nino event might be the most significant on record and is likely to lead to extreme weather events around… Read more »

(Today’s report is from Jim) Crowded day in Leland this morning with the PJ Party and Sale going on. I spent some time on North Beach looking for my breakwall shots and finally saw the sun for the first time since we came up. Dad got his surfer shot below. Glad I brought my hand warmers.
