Congratulations to you and your growing family. Grandkids are great.

Thank you to everybody up there working hard to clear the trails for what is starting out as a great season.

Just under a foot in Park Ridge IL. Another couple predicted for tomorrow and Wednesday. That should bring us close to last year's total for the season.

I have to agree with you. Don't ask for ketchup on your dog or you might get beat up. Superdawg on Milwaukee @ Devon a close second.

I'll go with the stuffing, green bean casserole and our family does pierogis as a side from the polish ancestors. Hard pass on sweet potatoes. My mom used to force me to eat that as a kid along with beets. Most of it wound up in my hoody pocket and pitched outside as soon as I could. Only...

27"-41" in Ironwood????? Been a long time since we saw numbers like that from one storm. I guess that we can wait and see....and hope. That would be a great start for the season if it doesn't get warm and melt all of it.

Bought our little seasonal cabin in Presque Isle in 1997. Bulldozed and built year-round home in 2000. Someone gave me a cabin logbook gift when we first bought. I figured it would probably be good to keep a record of when we came and left, fish caught and where, weather conditions when we were...

Our 100-acre lake in Presque Isle started to ice over yesterday. This morning it looks like most of the shorelines/bays have made ice. About 25% of the open body of lake now iced over. Checked my cabin log and looks to be about a week or two earlier than what I have kept track of over 28 years...

Happy Birthday Tim.

2" in Park Ridge, IL. We missed the 3"per hour and 12-18" totals and lake effect the forecasters panicked everyone about yesterday, including me. I guess higher amounts near Lake Michigan but nowhere near what they predicted. Good thing is that it forced me to prep and start snowblower yesterday.

I get it that Blink Bonnie serves a good steak but for me, the place is too small and cramped and I refuse to stand in a line like I'm at Disney World to spend more than a hundred bucks on a steak dinner for my wife and me.

Forecasters were correct last night. They predicted possible snow showers in my area, (Presque Isle Wisconsin) and when I got up this morning before daylight, I looked out on the deck, and it was white. It has been snowing on and off since 6:30 am. Not really sticking but it was a good start to...

The way I view forecasts is simple. Wake up in the morning and look out of the cabin windows. If there are dark skies/clouds to the west and north and it is below 32 degrees, probably going to snow. As for how much, a lot would be nice but even a little is better than nothing. To get more exact...

I get it. Had my right rotator cuff fixed in March of 24. Still not good. 2nd knee being replaced in December. Probably lose a lot of the season. Hope to be on the sled mid-February. Isn't getting older fun?

Why? Don't tell me that with your sledding stats you are giving it up.
