Winter storm warning issued for a potent, quick hitting storm today and tonight. A foot of heavy wet snow is forecast here in the higher terrain along Superior, along with 40 mph winds later this evening. Should be a nice little event.
So nice outside today. It's currently 41/29. Not a bad start March at all. Snowpack is tight...no need for snowshoes, only sink about 7 inches when walking on top. Depth at 42" on my stake.
Picnic table visible now
This is about the earliest I can recall that I am ready for spring and could say goodbye to winter/snow today and be fine. Truth is tho, March is still a solid winter month here with an average of 35+ inches of snow. Normal high around 29 now.
Leaves have peaked, season's first snow is in the forecast, will certainly pale in comparison to west of here in the N plains, nonetheless, winter is very close to setting in here in Michigan's north woods.
