    As of this afternoon, they're @ 347.5". On average they'll still receive another 40" and I've seen a lot of big dogs in April. Also, Herman has 68" otg with a LE of probably 18". The snow will NOT be gone by mid April in the UP. I routinely still have snow into the 1st and 2nd week of May.

    As long as we keep a fire going, the heat from the stovepipe creates a hollow cavity around the stack, even if the snow accumulates a foot or two higher than the pipe. But obviously shovel it out as soon as possible just to keep it free and clear and to avoid ice issues. The first thing I did when moving here was to reroute the furnace exhaust off the roof and have it exit the sidewall up high just beneath the roof soffit. That worked out well until this year. Keeping the snow cleared is a job you def don't want to fall behind on.

    This was definitely one for the books. Just goes to show what mid-west/great lakes climate can churn out from time to time. Now on to spring!

    You'd finally get your fill of snow! This is what 5.5+ feet of snow looks like. Pretty much standing in the same spot as the late August pic this past Summer. Took some weight off the roof as well. Inside the house is like a cave. EDIT: The lesser snow on the left side of the pic is a path i blew to the propane tank a few weeks back.

    I have and sometimes still do. Back around 2014-2018 I reported almost daily but it became too much of a chore. MQT gave me my two official snow stakes that I still put out each year for shits and giggles.

    Somewhere around 300". I'm usually pretty close to Herman's totals and they stand at 341" as of today but there were a few times this winter they were hit a bit harder than me. Measuring snow here is damn near a fulltime job and I just don't care as much as I use to. However, from Friday through last night I've received an estimated 55" while MQT officially stands at 48.1" during the same time, with a season total of 262.7". Today starts the cleanup. There's 4-5' drifts of wind-packed snow across the entire driveway this morning and while I do have a Kubota tractor, this is still going to take some time. Will try to post a few more pics today.

    2' is still a lot of snow especially this time of year when the thrill is def over. At least we are only 6 weeks away from May. MQT received 33.7" (LE- 3.79"). Probably nearing 40" out this way. Good to see you were spared the ice!

    My 5' snow stake is buried but it read 44" before the storm, so well over 60"

    Snow and wind have let up considerably with another 5-6" possible through the night. Snow is too deep to walk or even snowshoe in, there's no power, and the road is closed for miles. Deepest snow I have ever seen. The house is almost buried.

    Hi all, checking in from rural Marquette County. Have received 30-35" on top of the 44"that was otg when this started. Depth between 60-70". Another foot possible. The snow has bridged to the roof.

    I saw a report of 20 up in the arrowhead.

    First serious taste of Autumn today.... mid to upper 40's all day with .25 of lake effect rain off a due north flow. With clouds and showers tonight, lows should only fall to the upper 30's.

    Breezy autumn like day with low humidity and temps in the low 60's. Will be a cool one tonight with mid 40's, some 30's likely in the cool spots. Started weeding out some of the tired looking plants that don't receive enough sun anymore off the deck today and into the composter. Sure sign fall is here.
  15. weatherbo
    Climbed to 73 here before decaying showers moved through. Wind then turned north northeasterly and low clouds, fog have moved in with the temp of 66. Anything is better than a heat index of 101 like yesterday. I almost bought an AC unit.

    Received a severe warning during the night with a wind gust to 40 mph and 3/4's an inch of rain. Temps today should remain steady in the upper 60's to near 70. Another decent shot at rain tonight as well. Seasonable temps. After a furious couple weeks at the hummingbird feeder, I noticed the male hummers have already left and the females and babies are sticking around still feeding but much nicer about it. They'll depart in another week or so. I usually leave my feeder up until the 15th of Sept for the lone passerby.

    Reached 90 here too. The DP is 77 right now... oppressive. The house foundation, my sidewalks and back patio are all sweating. So are the rocks in the woods.

    85/76 currently. Haven't seen muggy weather like this in a long time.

    October 5th a few years ago I received 5 inches of snow so you could see some . Def check out the 35,000 acres of old growth trees. It's a sight to behold and the incline they're on in spots has to be almost 45 degrees. I haven't been there in the summer since I've lived here but have been a few times in the winter but most of the park and the boundary roads close for the season due to the deep snow.

    Mid 60's this morning with dp's in the low 60's making it feel a bit humid. Not a bad look for the last week of met summer. The real heat stays south of the UP. With several cool nights in the 30's and low 40's, certain trees are really beginning to show color. This maple is one of the first of the season each year. Last week of September- first of Oct is usually peak here locally. Things should start looking good in another few weeks. Warmer weather could slow things down but it has been pretty dry the last month so trees may be ready to give it up.

    Another cool morning in the UP... had 41 here. Warming trend incoming.

    There's for sure been some cool stretches but nothing terribly abnormal. For this area, June averaged -0.6, July +0.5 and August to date is right at average, so fairly seasonable. I would say it's been a very pleasant summer. The coolest night this met summer so far has been 34 and the warmest daytime high 89. There was a total of 24 nights with lows in the 40's and 4 nights in the 30's. Some interior areas have seen 12-15 nights in the 30's and even some summer frost. Another chilly one tonight in the low 40's before a huge warmup late week with mid 80's this weekend into next week. With the shorter days, the cooler nights and the leaves beginning to change, I welcome the late summer warmth. Not ready for full blown fall just yet. Garden is still producing very well even with the sun now sinking below the tree line by 3:30. All the critters (especially deer) that enjoy acorns will have plenty to eat this year. I don't think I've ever seen so many. And mice seem in abundance as well compared to the last few years... go figure.

    Autumn is def in the air this morning, low of 38. Baraga Plains and Yellow Dog both recorded a low of 30, Champion was 32. Lots of mid to upper 30's away from the shore.
  24. weatherbo
    Low of 50, high of 77 today. A beautiful late summer day.... and wow @ the N lights last night. They were very vivid with large pillars and were directly overhead not just the northern sky. Some pics from MQT

    Another chilly afternoon in the mid-upper 50's with lake enhanced showers. Things warm up tomorrow to the low-70's but there's def a fall vibe.
