Last nights weather forecast for the overnight snow fall was 6 to 12 inches. We woke up to an inch. The sky at sunrise showed signs of opening up and Big Blue was calm. And then by 10:30 am the wind started blowing and the sky started snowing. Gusting to over 30, whiteouts. All the schools are closed and this system is… Read more »

Today, Monday, the wind has subsided. However, with temps hovering in the teens, we continue to celebrate winter. Yesterday’s onshore wind made the fishing nets dance around, made the harbor flag point directly toward shore, and created whitecaps in the harbor and river. I stood in the lee of the Fishtown shanties and then in the lee of the Manitou… Read more »

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!

(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.
