To todays pictures are of soon to be occupied spaces. More and more people are returning to Leelanau County from winter hideaways. Still a few pockets of snow here and there. Below is the latest posting of the Snow Report. It must be reported that the “Maple City” total is correct, but does not match the Leelanau Enterprises total. On two occasions, the weeks… Read more »
Managing a website has it’s good days, then there there was today. The site is going to look a little different for a short time. Maybe I’ll leave it like this. Going straight to lelandreport.com (for those of you who use shortcuts on your computer) will show you a list of recent posts. However, the links in the emails will… Read more »
There is some hope of Spring making a return in a couple of days, 60’s by the weekend they say. Anyway, that’s what they say, it’s always 2 days away, never tomorrow. A brisk northwest wind made 33 degrees feel much colder this morning on the beach. Biscuit and I made it over to North Beach at noontime, it’s been… Read more »

Carlson’s Fishery will be open tomorrow 10 am to 4 pm. http://carlsonsfish.com/
The pictures say it all… what a miserable day. Another clipper coming tomorrow morning. With vast swings in the temperature, I think there would be concerns about apples, cherries and grapes which are going to bud soon. Memories of 2014, when we had, 257 inches of total snowfall on this date. We were well into May before the ice on… Read more »
Blue dominated the sky this morning playing host to a few lingering clouds continuing for the rest of the afternoon. In spite of the temperatures being in the lower 20’s, the sun managed to melt half of the last clipper snow, just in time to make room for the next clipper. Received an Email from Biff Steel with news that… Read more »
