Awesome area, my wife has expressed interest in living in that area, she has family just up the coastline near Wilmington NC. Enjoy the warm weather and beaches.

Also looks like our first decent LES event in quite a while for the next few days to go along with the 5-6" of heavy cement we got overnight.

Yea that area is definitely not pristine outdoor living for Northern Mi standards. Also the snow differences is rather stark for that area heading east towards Mancelonna and towards my area. Are you looking for just property or a house as well, there are several parcels and even some houses available near my neck of the woods which would probably be more in line with what your looking for??

I know the that area very well pass it everyday as I have an office in East Jordan. Snowfall is just okay in that area, I wold say they do alright for snowfall, however once you get towards Mancelonna the snowfall picks ups quite a bit, there is a decent elevation change as EJ is kind of in a ditch. Same way towards Bo's old stopping grounds as that area always has more snow on the ground then EJ area. I'd say my area probably almost sees 50-75 percent more on average. Now regarding other outdoor activities there are plenty of Lakes nearby, obviously Lake Charlevoix being a big attraction. Just take M66 up towards Charlevoix its a beautiful area along with some amazing houses along the lake. There is great hiking and biking in the area as well, snowmobiling towards Jordan valley is a great area, I'm sure you been there before and towards DeadMans Hill?? Also property is fairly cheap, taxes are okay, if you hunt it is a very good area for Deer, Turkey, etc. But just keep you expectations tempered especially regarding LES as it does fall short to other areas only 30-40 miles as away. For example I have about 22" OTG at my house and EJ maybe has 8" OTG currently. Although they can get hammered in a NNW flow or SW flow if the bands align just right (Both rare flows for Northern Mi).

Picked up about 6" imby, nice to see the white stuff fly again been a very quiet couple weeks.

Not sure how APX is getting the depths for UP, but its pretty close for my area give a couple inches here or there.

I'm around 100" on the year about average surprisingly given the lack of any decent LES outbreaks yet, been a lot of 3-5" events. Many areas are below or barely at normal for the year. UP looking pretty good so far, those cutters earlier in the year really aided many areas.

Wow more than halfway through winter and the LES thread is barely 2 pages still, very sad indeed. It does look like we may have a true LES outbreak beginning Sat Night and lasting through early next week. MLK riders will be happy im sure as we already picked up 4-5 inches since last night , another 6-8"+ from the system Fri-Sat then another 8-12" easy with LES definitely the best it has been all year and likely though remainder of winter. Have about 16-18" OTG now , should hit season high for depth by Tuesday.

Even where I live wasn't worth the cost of the machines, maintenance, gear, licensing,permits to use so little. Bought a SxS and will be buying a couple pwc's this spring to use at our seasonal campground. First winter in 8 years where I haven't really spent much attention on snow or lack of snow and its been a nice reprieve. I still like the snow but now it doesn't really have any impact on my hobbies now has been nice. I figured if I wanted to ever sled would just go to the Rockies and rent a mountain sled,hotel.

I picked a good year to sell all my sleds

No, probably about the same, didn't see any real meaningful snows (By Gaylord Stds) until Jan. We did pickup about 10" the other night but besides that just been a lot of rain/sleet to snow on the back end. Although we are around average for the year but certainly hasn't felt like it.

Hey All Been away for quite a while, been pretty busy with work/family. Weather sure has been pretty ho hum in the snow and LES especially my area, most systems have been about 75 miles to far to my NW and haven't had much LES. Looks like a picked a great time to sell the snowmobiles last summer. You know its been a bad start when the LES thread is still on the same first page and its almost Jan.

Um no, snowblower still in repair shop not ready for this sh#t yet lol
