3" of wet snow after the early morning rain here in the Keweenaw. Actually had to plow for the first time in a week. Rain likely in the early a.m. followed by 48 deg and windy on Sunday. Snow possibly by midweek next week. Go figure.

Mezz you should know better than most of us winter isn't normally totally over until some time in May. You will get your warm ups then you get your cold air with snow then warm back up. Even the brown year south range got almost 18" the last week of March after barely any snow all winter. The whole reason John moved up there and loved it up there so much. He like a lot of us on this site, the snow brought out the kid in him.

I know better, I'm just burned out. This winter has been a temperature roller coaster with a lot of wet heavy snows. A lot of ice everywhere making walking treacherous when shoveling. Winter here is a job in itself & this one has been a lot of work & lets not forget winter here can last well into April.

Mezz weren't you up there I believe it was April of 2008 when they got hammered with snow for 3 days. If I remember correctly the snow was pretty much wiped out then the higher areas got close to 80" or so.

Yep many that visit have no idea what it’s like to deal with snow removal on a daily bases. I had plenty in Phelps and cleared 3 decks a porch and a front walk to get to the car and my sled. It is a lot of work and at the end of the season things get smaller just nowhere to put the snow. I know where you are coming from
