At least there won't be any trails with two foot moguls on them! :eek: Ok. Sorry. Not funny. I'll go home now. -John

The Swiss and Austrian Alps. Already a couple of feet of fresh in the past day or to and looks like another 4-6 feet in the next week. Road Trip! :) Anyone know how much trail permits are there? -John

Just like this one: Christmas 2000 Lac La Belle Lodge Let's see some pics of what YOU want for Christmas! (remember to keep it PG rated;)) -John

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...

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...

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...

Looks like Tog is starting to come alive. Shouldn't we see Pat doing snow angles in the parking lot by about now? -John

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...

That's almost "choking snow". Nice :) -John

My sincerest thanks to all Veterans for your service to this country! -John

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...

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...

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

Holy Wa! When is the last time that happened. Tech Hockey, undefeated so far. -John

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...

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...

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...

Happy 2 years old sweetie! Love Momma and Dadda!

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...

Been checking the cam at Brooks Lake Lodge just about every day for the past few months. The lake finally opened up. -John
