Again… the wind! Last nights local TV weather forecasted 6 to 10 inches of snow, we received 1 inch. The lake effect machine is in full throttle, but we happen the fall between the bands. 10 inches has been reported in various locations and I’m sure Suttons Bay is one of them. The main picture taken this morning at Van’s… Read more »

Again… the wind is dictating our “El Nino” winter weather. And these ice boats are ready to take advantage of it before the snow falls. We are under another “Winter Weather Warning” until Thursday at 10am. I heard this morning that the ice on North Lake Leelanau is about 3 inches thick, which isn’t the best but, I’ve seen ice boats… Read more »

A dark get-up, which has been the routine this month. Sky opened up shortly after noon, but you can see on the horizon for the weather to arrive in the early morning tomorrow… Rain!… Which will mix with snow later in the day. Weather watch for Tuesday calls for snow. The Leland Report/Leif Spork Snow Gauge contest is closed. We had… Read more »

It’s amazing what a lot of sunshine can do for your mental health. A little bit of sunshine helps, but a lot really does the job. Anyway, it was a nice day to go to Suttons Bay 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!

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 »

Another Lake Effect Day, in spite of the fact that the wind has calmed down to 4 mph. I won’t know what the snow total is in Maple City until tomorrow, Wednesday. The good thing about this snow is the ski resorts are doing well as is the rest of the winter sports activities. Our Road Commission is doing a great job… Read more »

This is one of the reasons we drive as far as we do to come up here. I followed Meggen and Joel Petersen down to Good Harbor Bay in search of the elusive “ice boulders” and even though we couldn’t find any, we were not disappointed because the sky exploded in a palette of orange and red. As I was taking… Read more »

I couldn’t make it to my usual destination, South Fishtown, because of the depth of snow… so I ventured over to South Beach. I walked in the footprints of previous visitors. That’s probably the way I will travel on foot for the rest of the winter, walking in other peoples footprints. The Leelanau County Road Commission gets our applause for the great job… Read more »
