    SnoScoop question

    Hi! I love your snoscoop forecasts - my wife and I sit down to watch them together every day. My question is...could you mention Calumet/Laurium a bit more? I live in Laurium and it seems like all of the forecasts focus on Twin Lakes/Painesdale to the exclusion of Laurium. I guess you tend to...

    Bayfield Bomber this weekend...question.

    Hi, You mentioned a potential Bayfield Bomber for Keweenaw County this weekend. Would that include Laurium/Calumet? Just really interested in seeing one of these after reading about them in your journals for years. Thanks!

    Just a curious question about rt 41 between Calumet and Hancock

    Does anyone know anything about the thin swath of obviously intentionally planted trees that run on both sides of 41 in certain sections? They're definitely planted intentionally, they're only about 10-20 feet wide at any given part and they're obviously not from the area as they seem to be...

    Are things better or worse after this storm?

    Good burst of snow today north of Houghton. I'm in Laurium and we're somewhere over 6 new inches since 6am, prolly more.

    Seasonal reminder that we miss the old journals. =(

    Hi, Sorry for harping on this so regularly, lol. I just really was hoping you'd put these back up someday. I've been following you since probably 2002 or earlier and while it took me 14ish years to be persuaded, it's the sole reason my wife and I eventually left northern Maine and came to the...

    'Water' effect snow.

    Hi, You may not know the answer to this...from looking around, it's hard to find a definitive answer beyond general regions. My question is - which specific, on a town by town basis, would seemingly have the best set up for some sort of water (lake, sea, ocean) effect snow? I know places like...

    The Keweenaw should do something about Herman claiming it's the snowiest in the state

    That 214 inch total is making us look weak. We get much more than that a year.

    Storm update from Laurium

    I took these last night around 6pm. The storm was just gearing up after a day of mostly light to moderate fluffy snow and calm winds. After these pictures I drove to Pats and Shopko in Calumet and the roads were awful - as much because of the snow on the roads as because of the near whiteout...

    Storm update from Laurium

    It's already been snowing up here something around 36-38 hours straight, albeit very lightly for the most part. Idk how much we've got total but I did just put a ruler into the sidewalk at my house and it's around 5-6 inches currently. Snow has picked up a lot this afternoon, mostly since 2pm or...

    Old Journals

    Hi, Is there any update on you reuploading the old journals from the old site? I often would like to look back through writings from the 2000's, etc.

    John Dee was right

    So I've been following John Dee since ~2002 maybe, maybe earlier. I'm not sure. However, until 2016 I lived in Maine, around Fort Kent in the far north before moving to Bangor, etc. Anyways, I'm one of those weird people who chooses where they live based on the winters. It's not just about...

    Flooding

    Took some pictures in and around Houghton today. Looks like Houghton got hit a bit harder than Hancock. M26 northbound towards Lake Linden is completely shut down.

    Question about snow belts

    Hi, sorry for another question, lol. Looking over the maps of yearly snowfall totals it's obvious that the two bullseyes for snow stretch from Twin Lakes to Painesdale, and from ~Calumet north to just past Delaware. I'm wondering about that bullseye over Keweenaw County. I understand that...

    Precipitation anomalies.

    I had a question about this map. Sorry if this is beyond the scope of this forum...but I thought I'd ask anyways. I've always been curious/confused at how the Tug Hill Plateau seems to get an oddly disproportionately large boost in precipitation compared to the rest of the country. This is...
