Vol XVIII – #11 – Waiting For Meggen to Return

   Looking forward to warmer temperatures later this week and “Meggen’s Monday” next week. Below, a memory from 2009, “April Fools Day”    

Vol XVIII – #10 – A Beautiful Sunshine Day

Again the Village Cheese Shanty was a busy place this noon. In spite of being a cool 32 degree day, it was a beautiful one.      

Vol XVIII – #9 – Say Cheese Please!

The Village Cheese Shanty was a busy place this noon. I was curious as to how many April’s had snow days since the “Leland Report” began in 2001.  April 2018 is #9.    

Vol XVIII – #8 – Snow Gauge Updated to 208!

(Report by Jim) Is this the end of the snow? Who knows? Snow gauge is now sitting at 208″ for the season based on the Leif Sporck’s exacting measurements.

Vol XVII – #093 – Happy Place

(Report by Jim today)  How fortunate are we to be here, today? Crowds have arrived for 4th of July, so Van’s Beach is hopping. But it’s nice to know (be related to) people who still have relatively untouched (and secret) sections of beach that you can get lost on on a day like today.

   The promised rain happened somewhere else. Still some fog lingering with occasional sunshine cutting through.  A nice day in spite of the forecast.       

Vol XVI # 025 – Saturday in Leland

Another nice beginning to a late April day, but on the cool side.  Not a ripple on Carp River, providing a mirror image of the Library and Museum.  South Beach was host to the Saturday Rockers.  The afternoon became clouded over and rain is promised for tomorrow.         

Vol XVI # 007 – Sunny Today… Snow Tomorrow

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 »

Vol XV #261 – Meggen’s Monday

  I went out  Friday morning to see the three freighters that are proving Good Harbor Bay true to its name. Strong winds caused the Great Republic, Algoma Navigator, and Algosoo (L to R) to stop here overnight.    Click here to enter the 2016 Snow Gauge contest! Win a custom Leif Spork tile!
