Some great cloud patterns Sunday afternoon. It was a pleasant day to be in the great outdoors. I went back to the harbor to check on the otter population, which appears to be holding steady at about 7. Otters are cute and all, but they also make a mess of things wherever they hang out. Just saying… The Leland… Read more »

No new snow this am, but still had to shovel maybe an inch left over from last night. The forecast is calling for a Clipper system to come ashore this evening around 7 with 1 to 3 inches perhaps. The problem with that forecast is that rain may develop. Below is my personal tribute to someone who was a major… Read more »

Woke up this morning and guess what… three inches of new and drizzle. With the temperature around 35 degrees, it bounced back and forth between snow and drizzle. Not a very nice day, but not the worst we ever had. On Nov 28, we were fortunate to tag along with the crew of the Joy when it moved into the shop for… Read more »

Still dark and dreary, but the otters come out to play anyway. It’s just warm enough today that the precipitation is rain: at least that’s what’s happening this morning. So I’ll share a couple more glimpses of sunlit snow from Saturday. The Leland Report/Leif Spork Snow Gauge contest is closed. We had a total of 47 entries. We will… Read more »

Dark and dreary, that’s about all I can say after that sunshine tease yesterday. Sad News Dept. Received news this morning from our daughter Mary that Gary’s father Cecil passed away last night after a long illness. The Leland Report/Leif Spork Snow Gauge contest is closed. We had a total of 47 entries. We will report the final tally on 4/30/16!

The sunshine was greeted with smiles, but only lasted for a half day and the clouds returned. The best thing about it was… no snow. I’m tired of moving snow around. Just think, only 2 more months of winter. Sad News Dept. Received news of the passing of Diana Silvius Gits, pictured below many Leland summers ago. Was… Read more »

Another day, another day with snowflakes. No accumulation, just flaking. Fantastic sunset last night with the hope of more sunshine today, but… it’s flaking out. Just kidding, it’s actually not that bad out, no wind and not that cold. The southeast and east coast are in store for a massive blizzard with projections of two to three feet of snow. 19 states… Read more »

A nice beginning with little or no overnight snow. The trip home from St.Wenceslaus at 9:15 was a total whiteout, visibility zero, had to depend on the center rubble strip to stay on the road home. Not a system snow, it’s a lake effect snow. It’s winter. The Leland Report/Leif Spork Snow Gauge contest is closed. We had a total of… Read more »

Another dark, dreary and windy getup with Winter Storm Warnings forecasting 8 to 12 inches by tomorrow. My Dark Sky weather app on my IPhone says 1 to 3. So far the app has been right. At the moment my Radar app indicates that the heavy lake effect snow is falling just north of us. I don’t know how I did without… Read more »

The wind continues to blow, gusting to 20 and30 mph. The path leading down to Van’s Beach this morning was drifted and with the wind, was a little too much for my legs. Was able to get down to South Beach, but with the blowing snow, no pictures were worth taking. With near whiteout conditions, there are people who drive without… Read more »
