Visibility at sunrise was as far as you could see, a couple of hundred feet was about all for the past week. Forecast calls for warming to somewhere in the 30’s and rain mixed with snow. Walking in other peoples foot deep footprints, I made it down to Fishtown and much the same at Van’s Beach over a big drift. I… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Still a blackout in Leland. Today’s photos are by Erhardt Peters, turn of the century photographer from Ludington and Leland. Fishing was year-round as long as the ice was passable. And if the ice wasn’t passable, they made it passable. According to Joel Petersen, the rocking made it easier to move through the ice. This is circa… Read more »

Above picture from this date in 2013. With the temperature over 40 and at the moment sun shining, there isn’t going to be any snow left when this day ends, even in Suttons Bay. Tomorrow, rain.

Hey out there… pack your skies and head to… maybe Telluride, cause it’s just not snowing that hard here, but it is snowing. So far we have gotten a dusting of the white stuff, enough to have Leif put on his winter garb after yesterdays change. Click here to enter the 2016 Snow Gauge contest! Win a custom… Read more »

Another one of those windy days except for the direction. Same views as yesterday with a more dynamic lake, both sight and sound. Actually the wind is blowing about 10 mph less than yesterday but from a different direction. What difference a day makes, especially if the wind changes direction.

Hard to believe that with the wind gusting to 32 mph, Big Blue is flat as a pancake and as green as a shamrock, but it is. Had a couple of seconds of sunshine tossed in with a little bit of rain. The weather people are telling us that snow is on it’s way, but not today. Below is our… Read more »
