One of those days that you want to sit by the fire and watch the “Master’s”.  Today’s pictures are from mid-morning after an light overnight snow which recovered the ground after the last overnight snow melted.  The most irritating thing about today is the wind gusting out of the southeast at 22 to 28 mph and the temperature at freezing.  I made my… Read more »

Vol XV #239 – First Snow, But Not the Last

Keith Burnham    November 22, 2015    1 Comment on Vol XV #239 – First Snow, But Not the Last

The Windy City (Chicago & Suburbs) got 16 inches in one of those 100 year storms.  Leelanau County was on the edge of that system and got variable results.  Our Sutton’s Bay reporter, Leif, claims 6.5 inches while Leland at best, maybe 1.5 inches.  Never the less it’s apparently a beautiful day to go surfing and we start our Snow Report for the 15/16 season. … Read more »
