    Thank you!

    For not shooting the messenger in this mornings forecast! I know how much of a bummer it must have been for all of you, because I had to write it! Just keep in mind that things would not have to change dramatically in the pattern for some meaningful snows to fall in the Northwoods. We have been...

    Hey Wildlife Refuge Cabins!

    I remember back this summer, some teasing pics were put on the board to have us guess what the new construction project at the cabins was going to be. Did I miss the answer? or are you keeping it a secret folks will just have to stop by to see for themselves? I know I plan to stop by sometime...

    Best Lake effect snow image

    My guess would be early in the snow season as Lake Nipigon is still totally ice free and some of the smaller lakes in Canada are also ice free. Here is one I like. The comma shaped cloud just north of the Keweenaw is called a Meso-Low. The low is formed by air rising over the lake when the...

    Some fresh for the Rockies

    Using Cell Service for Home Internet

    Well, we have finally joined the rest of the world with 3G service here in the Keweenaw and now I am considering dropping my satellite internet and going to using the cell service for my home/office internet provider. I am not looking at just hooking one computer up using an air card. I need to...

    Wonder if they are fishing in this?

    From the NWS in Fairbanks Alaska: ...ONE OF THE WORST BERING SEA STORMS ON RECORD WILL CAUSE WIDESPREAD STRONG WINDS AND COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE WEST COAST... I saw that Kotzebue, which is north of Nome has had sustained winds to 56 mph with gusts to 74. Wonder what it's like out in the...

    swirling winds

    Russ- You are right, terrain features can cause the wind to change directions or speed or both, which will lead to the swirl in the wind you observed. Another thing that can cause it is the air molecules themselves. When one molecule encounters another, they will bounce off each other. If you...

    First Flakes

    At first I thought my eyes were deceiving me or perhaps it was just some small leaf material blowing in the strong winds, but it turns out we have some flurries flying up here this afternoon. I have to look real hard, but they are there. -John

    Kripes, it's coming for me!

    http://www.petoskeynews.com/news/pnr-dnr-confirms-presence-of-cougar-in-houghton-county-20110927,0,6429196.story I guess it probably still has to cross the bridge or swim the Portage Lake to get to the "island", but I am probably going to start carrying my pistol with me when I go into the...

    A quick dusting next week?

    OK, going to stir the pot a little here. There are some indications that things might come together in a manner to produce the seasons first flakes of snow for parts of the UP next Wednesday night and early Thursday. Favored areas would be the southern LES belts. The precip would likely be lake...

    New Board Look

    Well, as I am sure everyone has had a chance to notice, there is a slightly new look to the board. Early this morning, the board was upgraded to the latest version. All the features to the board were kept the same and the general layout was also duplicated as best as could be. Most of the...

    Thanks Lake Superior

    2.5 hours ago it was 91 with a dewpoint of 77 (heat index of 104). Wind shifted from SW to East and dropped our temps into the low 70's with a dewpoint in the mid 60's. Actually quite pleasant to be outside. Cut some grass and did not even break a sweat. Snow in the winter and air conditioning...
