Lower lands in the UP during a hot wet summer makes the bugs terrible imo. Remember on lake Michigan dead calm something was floating 30 miles out so being the curious type decided to investigate it was a blow up beach ball loaded with black flies. Fortunately I had more bug repellent and killer than the orkin man. I used to wash the transom and cockpit of my vessel frequently to clean out mass Graves of the buggers used to clog up the cockpit scuppers.

We eat outside pretty much all summer. Nonetheless, you guys need to start a new thread.
Flies and mosquitoes on the Great Lakes and Midwest? JK
. In the keweenaw do you get occasional houseflies in the winter during a warm spell. Well I fixed the autocorrect on Keweenaw for you.

I will not post here again. Very sorry that the "kewee snow" thread was hijacked.

Don't let the bug talk bug you, it's just the way threads go. It's like a conversation, the subject matter ebbs and flows.

Thanks to all who sent me kind, supportive notes. Yes its is nice to keep the thread on whatever the subject was suppose to be, but I thought telling someone that they resided in a bug infested swamp for 24/7 was uncouth.

Lol no one said that, Arly. Surely you can admit that much of the UP are quite swarmed with flies and skeeters for some weeks of the summer. You live on a narrow peninsula with frequent breezes and less swampland, I'm sure that keeps the bugs down a bit. But frankly any northern land with a constrained summer season typically sees more intense fly concentrations, they have to swarm those precious warm days in order to survive as a species. Shoot, go hike at 10,000 ft on Mt hood, Mt adams, rainier, etc during July, you'll be completely covered in bugs.
In terms of snow, I was stunned to see that Mt Bohemia will still be operating for downhill skiing this weekend. Snowpack in may! I guess that's pretty normal after a cool April, though.
