Happy birthday buddy! -John

Global Warming Has Been CANCELED... Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. -John

I have added a topic called "Vintage Sled Chat". It can be the place to do anything regarding "old iron", such as posting pictures, asking questions, requesting parts...etc. As to what is considered "Vintage" I guess that is up for debate, but would like to think anything at least 20 years old...

Was finally able to get around to updating the snowcover maps and the numbers sure are impressive for the third week of March! A person can pick and choose their area this weekend and probably next. -John

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Wife! Love YA! -John

The CopperDog 150 dogsled race will be happening March 1-3 and will be using some of the snowmobile trails from Calumet north to Copper Harbor. Here is a Link to A Map Showing Which Trails will be Used and When. Things will run exactly like they have in years past, with no trail closures to...

Ok, maybe hate is way too strong of a word, as I do actually love all snow, but man oh man. Just got back in from clearing the snow we got overnight and it took over 2 hours (typically a 30-45 minute job) to do just the driveway and parking area in front of the cabin. About 6-7" of really dense...

Haha. Gotcha! Figured very few would read this if it had a positive title. Have a GREAT day everyone! Some lucky folks in the area. A $19 million winning lottery ticket was purchased by a local at the local Festival Foods. How awesome! -John

I am in the process of updating all the broken links in the NCN. My HUGE thanks to Aaron for doing all the audit work! Saved me a ton of time! Anyway, just did the ones for Paradise Range Station in Washington state. Right now the Paradise cams are only in the NCN TEXT file, but I will be...

Here is a link to some autocorrects on smart phone conversations. Caution # 1: Mature content Caution #2: Do not read while eating or drinking, you choke or spit out your food they are that funny. http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/the-25-funniest-autocorrects-of-2012 -John

So I am sure that many of you have seen the handful of spammers getting onto the board and posting their crap. I have been working with Paul (the great guy that helps me with the nuts and bolts of the discussion board) on ways to try and stop it completely. We already have two layers of spam...

Below is an image of what is called a baroclinic leaf cloud (bright white area from NW TX up to SW Midwest). It's the signature cloud formation at the beginning stages of a strong area of low pressure. Looks like this is going to be a big one for the areas discussed the past few days. Ok...

I know this is so "last year", but if the Thursday storm does not bring us at least 4-6" of snow I may just do the "Tebow for Snow" on the AL Cam! -John

Meant to put this in the journal tonight and just plum forgot. So the whole Dee clan is in the truck headed down Houghton-way this morning to do some shopping. It's really ugly out, raining, foggy, temp 36. Anyway, Gracie notices the fog and and says she wonders what makes fog. So her and Nora...

Just wanted to bring to your attention that the Trailside Lodge in Calumet has set up a trail cam and I have it going on the site. You can find the link to it off to your left in the menu. The cam has infra-red night vision, so you can view it at night too! If the image does not appear, it is...

I realized I am having a major computer upgrade done tomorrow, so would not be able to work on the update today. So I spent all my free time this morning and early this afternoon updating the outlook. Remember, it's little more than a dart toss! -John

Ok, this it probably an over reaction and I will probably regret this, but I guess I just need to vent. It is obvious to anyone that the forecast did not pan out as thought. The storm hit about 150 miles further south than anticipated. I've been forecasting for over 30 years now and have had...

Well, I am about halfway finished with my normal Sunday work and there were some changes to the way this current system is going to pan out and it was eating at my that my forecast from back on Friday morning was still hanging out there, so I figured I would do a quick update. Below is a map of...
