So I am in the process of my annual NCN audit and am trying to figure out where this cam is located? This picture was taken yesterday. Please be patient, as the going is slow with the audit. The good news is I have figured out how to handle live cams. Already have them going at sites like...

Looks like Russia to me! Here is a shot of Hwy 41 yesterday afternoon. Is why I went home and not down to Calumet right after that pic! Not too often I back out of a short trip to Caly because of weather!

Thanks Frank! I also did a talk at MI Tech on Lake Effect snow years ago. I found some of the graphics I produced for it, but could not find notes. I believe the talk was off the cuff, so there is no "speech" typed out or anything, but I think these will help to illustrate things. -John

That's Paradise Lodge at Mt Rainer National Park. Amazingly they keep the road open all year long and I don't believe I have ever seen it not opened up at one point in the day. They have had some doozies though, 3-4 foot dumps that took them a while. Had to forgo the plow and needed to use the...

Shot from this morning, May 17th. That is a full sized van in the background.

OK, here we go. First guess with the correct date wins some Keweenaw Kamo bling! Here is a shot of it from a day or so ago.

There may be a few spots that would could be not good between Calumet and Mohawk, especially just south of Copper City, but from the road crossings, there is still plenty of snow between Calumet and Mohawk. Actually, once you are out of Hancock, then all is pretty good. I cannot comment on 133...

I was contacted by a DNR conservation officer who found an iPhone on trail #3 between Twin Lakes and Houghton last Thursday, the 23rd. Said it was pretty beat up and would not turn on, but if you lost yours and would like to try and recover the data, call the Baraga DNR field office 906-353-6651...

Storms not over yet, but some dramatic snowfall results...especially for SE MN. By the way, this map is updated every day (that there is fresh snow and/or I am in the office to do it!) by around noon eastern time. It's in the snowfall/cover section. -John

Hard to believe it has been 36 years already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYscemhnf88

Guilty ad charged! Although the entire planet might be bragging a bit! True, I love snow, so as hard as I try, I do tend to take a glass half full approach with my numbers. With that said, what was so terribly wrong with the latest storm forecast? Sometimes I think it is a little of both, me...

1938: On January 24, 1938, the blizzard of 1938 began across the U.P. with heavy snowfall bringing traffic and rail traffic to a halt for a few days. There were 12 foot snowdrifts in Ironwood with students trapped at school for 4 days. Many workers were trapped at work and people had to get out...

It was a nasty warm spell. Not only by the actual temps, but time involved. This is not the kind of map we all like to see for January 15-22!

Congrats to the newly crowned World Jr Hockey Champions!
