weatherbo

Ground is about 50% covered with 3-6" remaining. Two swampy areas near the house each still have close to a foot, and just eyeballing outside this morning looks like 2-2.5 of fresh snow fell overnight coating everything. Cool today and tomorrow with highs in the upper 30's/scattered snow showers.

35 with light snow for about the past hour. A chilly next few days up this way which I completely expected after a fairly mild April.

Yes, but there is a big difference between snow cover and snowpack. The 8-12" snowpack here still holds a 4" water content that is resistant to melt. The southern sub rarely gets a pack, it's just cover, so the snow is prone to melt regardless of forest or field.

I have 8-12" on average with wind prone areas showing bare ground in a few spots. The Tamarack weather station in Calumet still has 24".

After tagging 70 yesterday the first thunderstorms in 6+ months rolled through overnight dropping .52" exacerbating the ongoing flooding issues. Creeks and rivers running high with some even out of their banks at levels I haven't seen in a few years. light rain/fog/45 at noon. Will need a fire today to take the chill out of the house.

First 70 of the season! Snow continues to melt and I'm gonna bet inland lakes will be ice free this weekend.

Beautiful sunny day in the mid 50's before the lake breeze hit, dropping temps down into the 40's. Cool sat shot today of the remaining snowpack.

Low of 13 here. Coldest I can find in the UP is 5 degrees just nw of here @ the Yellow Dog/Eagle Mine station. Sun and mid 40's should make for a pretty decent day.

Spent the day in Houghton yesterday then drove the spine of the Keweenaw down to Ontonagon County to check out Victoria Dam Falls. Never seen anything quite like it. The falls created their own rain. My bad on the audio, I had my finger over the microphone by mistake.

19 0vernight here. The high today should stay just below freezing then fall into the mid-teens tonight. Might be the last teens of the season as temps warm to the 50's and low 60's by mid to late week and that would be fine with me.

Meanwhile, in the UP... rapid melt ongoing. The persistent fog this month has returned and is ushering in much colder weather for the next couple days that will slow the melt before temps warm again next week.

This is by far the nicest day since last Autumn. Zero wind and 64. The sun feels so good. lol The melt had been slow with cool temps and fog for the past week but has accelerated the past two days. Going to check out some waterfalls this weekend but will likely do it with some snow showers around. Measuring 32" off the driveway this afternoon... and going quick.

39 degrees this morning, hoping for a high in the mid-50's. Days and nights should remain above freezing for the next week. NWS MQT mentioned most of the UP should be snow free by the middle of next week with the exception of the Keweenaw and the high terrain along Superior from Herman through here and down to Negaunee where 3 to 4 feet of snow still remains. Put the rain gauge out yesterday for the first time since October and recorded .5 inches last night. Snow depth here is just over 40" with drifts and piles still 5-6' in spots where the snow was piled all season. Went out to the back of the property yesterday to check my hunting shack and see how it fared the winter, and it's still standing.

Haha! West Ishpeming was -13.

With fresh snow and clear skies, it ended up getting a little colder than the forecast indicated with -1 here at the house. A cool day in the mid 30s today before rain showers and some 40’s to near 50 to end the week.
