Hello. (If this post isn't a fit for this message board, please feel free to delete!) I purchased a new Honda push mower and plan to use it for the first time this weekend to chew up leaves. This will be the only time I will use it this year. Should the oil be changed before I use the mower...

Hello. My brother sent me a pic from someone's deck in Ironwood showing a light coating of snow, and it appeared to still be snowing. I'm curious if anyone knows how much snow they (or other places in the UP) got? Thanks.

Hello. Our 10-year anniversary was Friday, so my wife and I took a day trip to the Ironwood area. We had a picnic lunch at Black River Harbor (cool place!) and also went to the very top of the Copper Peak ski jump. It was pretty windy, so the jump was definitely swaying a bit. I was pretty...

I'm not talking about manmade snow left over on a ski hill. Has there been enough natural snow left in June to get a "read" ride in in June....say 1/2 mile or so?

Any thoughts??

Famers' Almanac predicting a "bitterly cold" winter for 2/3rds of the country. http://nation.time.com/2013/08/26/get-ready-for-a-cold-winter/?hpt=hp_t2 For those that enjoy such things! I always take such things with a grain of salt, of course. It's still fun to know that winter is on its way.

Has the light been making itself known as much as usual? Are there many tourists that come to see the light??

Hi John. I was reading about the Blizzard of 1977 that affected shoreline areas of Lake Erie (Buffalo, NY, for example). Very little new snow fell during the blizzard and, if I understand correctly, the blizzard was made up almost entirely of snow that had been picked up off of a frozen Lake...

I live near Duluth, MN. Any thoughts on how the hot summer might impact fall colors in my neck of the woods? Or is there not much of a correlation? For those of you in the U.P., have you heard about how your color show might turn out this year?

How's the Light been??

L. Superior temps warmest in a century. "Horrendous lake effect snow" possible. Pure speculation in regard to the lake effect snow, I suspect. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/updraft/archive/2012/07/balmy_70s_2012_lake_superior_w.shtml
