Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

You guys have no idea how giddy we are here with a near normal forecast with lake snow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lake effect snow showers continue along the northerly wind belts this morning. Then, a clipper moves through the region tomorrow with scattered snow showers. Big changes are coming this weekend. A strong system is still on track to bring widespread snow to the U.P. with strong winds on Saturday. Behind it, a trough in the jetstream digs into the Great Lakes. It will bring a cold blast of air, and temperatures will dive below normal.

Make sure those dogs get outside and in on the fun. we'll need photos.

We got about 10" of wet heavy snow but no rain. It was the perfect amount to pack down on the gravel drive. Now we are waiting for the next snow to hit Fri/Sat and that will be about a foot with high winds. The deep freeze comes after that so the snow we have won't melt for at least a month. Keep the moisture coming.

Not far from me...
We half a pretty decent view of the Gap, and after a few more trees taken down, the wife will be happier.

Nice ! I can see Bruke and Bald Hill from here. You must be between them somewhere ?

Yeah, if we go down our road 1/4mile I see burke. We are on the east side of the ridge that runs along 5a. Sheffield windmills are directly across from us. Hiked Bald many times, just don;t have it anymore to climb higher than second tier of watch tower there.

Forecast remains upbeat here.

No snow in our forecast until Monday but the cold temps have arrived. -20C now and supposed to get to -31C tonight. With wind chill, those temps are -29C to -37C. Good time to be in the house or in the shop both of them have wood stoves going and I moved a bunch of wood into those buildings in preparation for the cold snap, so I didn't have to be outside moving wood around in these temps. Sipping my morning coffee now and when done will go get the wood stove in the shop fired up again.

 

[ArlyA]

Yes, updating the forecast is looking more positive all the time. These are temps cooler than normal for us.

In Western Illinois we are forecasted to be in the 3 to 5 inches of snow and also the possibility of some ice. It’s a very narrow zone where it’s goes from nothing to a foot of snow and we are on the edge. Sunday into next week below zero temperatures are expected. I’ve had enough fun, I’m ready for spring.
