A clear and cold get-up. Beautiful blue in the sky makes up for it. A trip down French Road brought back memories of early Leland Reports. What kind of a day was it?… A Leelanau kind of day of course !
Everyone is remarking about how nice this winter has been so far and then “you know we still have April to go and you’ll never know how much snow will fall”. Ya never know.
Another one of those days like yesterday. A lot of visitor traffic in Fishtown and as a matter of fact all over. The only snow around is in plow piles. Some concern about too early temperature rises, probability of freezing and it’s effect on cherries and grapes.

Happy President’s Day! We have snow flurries again on Monday, obscuring what was a beautiful blue sky yesterday. Ice boats raced about on the south end of Lake Leelanau. The wind chill out on the lake was considerable, but it looked like the sailors were having fun. Here are more glimpses of the vibrant colors that pop when the sun… Read more »
