A warm one today cutting firewood, 77/51 already. Ticks, flies, and skeeters out in force. Should top out around 81. The 1.6” of rain last week is a distant memory.

Finally some nice summer weather. The next 6 days look to have highs between 80-85 each day. Garden will love the sun and warmth. This year I planted tomatoes, cucs, squash, zucchini, potatoes, onions, 4 different pepper varieties, and lettuces. Always a treat to be able to enjoy summer vegetables during the snowy winter months.

Was a great summer day. Sunny and 67 with just a bit of smoke.

Mist/fog all day, high of 46. Average high is 72. Legit felt like an Autumn day.

41 this morning with only 53 forecast for the high today... alleviates the mosquitos a bit but not a very good growing day.

56 degrees this afternoon. Cool and dry has been the rule up this way...three frosts this month. Garden is well behind this time last year. Tomato plants have barely budged in 2 weeks. Thankful for the 1.6" of rain the past couple days tho, it was dry.

While 44 is too cold, 84 is too warm… lol The low of 28 last night is hopefully the last freezing temps of the season.

Sunny and breezy with a high of 44 today. Needed a hoodie.

Very pleasant days in the 60's and 70's have been really nice for getting things done outside, and cool nights in the 40's are great for sleeping with the windows up... no complaints here. Front moves through this evening tho, ushering in chilly highs in the 40's tomorrow with widespread freezing temps in the interior UP tomorrow night. Thankfully, haven't planted anything too sensitive yet. Have learned to wait until after June 1st for that.

A beautiful day in the low 70's after .39" of rain last night. Really tamped down the dust and pollen, if only temporarily. Last piles of snow on the north side of the house melted today.

Move along, nothing to see here. Just your average late spring smoke storm.

Frost can be devastating to a newly planted garden. Established plants are hardier for sure. I'd take an early season frost over a late season one anytime.

Smokefree blue skies but boy is it chilly, only 43 with a windchill in the upper 30's at 2 pm.

A cool 37 last night. Went to bed with the sliding door open and woke up to 44 degrees in the bedroom. Also opening day of Walleye season!

Beautiful day in Negaunee yesterday with a high of 58. After work hiked up suicide hill, sat, had a beer.

Was out working in the yard cleaning up from winter, cutting up fallen tree limbs and even with dews in the low 50's I found it too warm. I've become heat intolerant and find it easier to keep warm than cool down. Plus, I do not have AC and the house can heat up quickly this time of year before the leaves come on and there's shade to keep cool in. Thankfully "real" heat and humidity are not very common here, as some years I don't even reach 90 and dews in the 70's aren't too common either. Far cry from my Indiana days.

Pretty sure I was the first yooper to complain about the heat. 78 was uncomfortable for working outside. I'd take 60-70 all summer... upper 40's at night.

Really? I thought it took forever. interesting fact tho: during the storm the temp hovered around 32 at night, 33 during the day. As soon as the snow ended, temp quickly rose to 35 and it has not been back below freezing since. It really was winters last gasp. already 63 with very light winds. Feels like a lake breeze will develop.

35 for the overnight low with another beautiful day on tap in the mid-60's for highs. Snow down to patches except in the swamps where it's still a foot. Finally feels like Spring is really here. Summer will fly and the snow will be back before ya know it.

Dense fog with a heavy marine layer, 43 degrees. Hope Brian over in TH is enjoying it as much as I am. Tue-Thur sun and 60's! Will feel much appreciated.

.25 inch of rain last night with a low of 40. Already 48 with just a few sprinkles out there. First deer I've seen up here since late December. Slowly migrating back to the higher terrain areas. I specifically remember this young doe. It was hell keeping her out of the garden last Summer... Bottle rockets seem to do the trick tho lol

A few sprinkles this morning then a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 55. About a foot of snow left otg... lots of melting.

Here's some final totals and the snowfall history map. And lastly, a sign that Spring is just around the corner. MQT: Four days of heavy rain and snow brought record-breaking precipitation amounts across portions of Upper Michigan between April 29th and May 2nd. Of particular note was the 24-hour snowfall observation of 27" in Herman, MI on May 1st; the greatest 1- day May snowfall east of the Mississippi River in the official U.S. climate record! #906wx

Had received 1.16" in rain the 2 days leading up to the storm and that had cleaned a lot of the remaining snow up. There were piles from shoveling and blowing yet, and the yard and woods had about a 60/40 mix of bare ground and patchy snow of a few inches left. Was looking at some climate info for MQT and this is how wet it is. Storm total snow 28.7" (liquid 5.15") Total qpf the past 5 days including the rain 6.26" Needless to say there will likely be some serious flooding issues, as river/streams were running high and the ground already saturated.

Hey all. Snow is done, estimate 31-33 inches fell... power still out. It's going to take me all day to clear snow. I'm not gonna wait and let it melt because it will settle and refreeze tonight (and make it even tougher to remove), and I need to be able to get out if I have to. Not that it matters much now because I wouldn't be able to go far. Just some pics from around the house... most y'all are familiar with these shots... but it is remarkable to see in May. And this was probably the second best storm of the season and pushes me very close to the 300 inch mark.
