Here is a few views as seen today and most of these are taken live. We cooled down and our high was near zero here today. Still snowed good. Looks like our lake snow is shutting down. Hope you like them...

I am so jealous. In SE Minnesota we have about 4 inches of snow but with some warmer temps on the way so we will probably be back to dirt by Christmas. My ideal retirement relocation is right in your back yard Arly. You clearly live in God's country.

Great pictures. Not going to be a White Christmas in SE MI. Day time temperatures will be in the 40's.

We moved to the south shore for cool summers, mild winter temps with guaranteed snow. Life is to short to not be enjoying the outdoors. :thumbsup: The dog is 60+ lbs and more is on the mutts blogs. Here is there blog.

Putting snow on the lift bridge this week. This is a lower deck road and snow does not fall on it, so the city hauls it in and we spread it out.

The trucks hauling the snow were filled with sno-gos, I hope. Nothing beats a 6' tall blower driven by it's own engine.

Its unlikely they used a sno-go to fill the trucks. These are normally used to get snow off of the streets and into tucks which goes to the nearest snow dump. All municipalities here have sno-goes but are only used in that fashion. They do tend to break down and most cities like to have at least 2 in stock... The city of Houghton may have 4 of these units. The snow we used came from a snow dump which would have been load into trucks via pay-loader.

...Who can tell us why we are pushing snow along the trail at all times? ...

There are times that you need to pull snow from outside the normal track to fill the drag or to level out the trail when whoopties are present.

These whoopties are oftentimes caused by the porpoising effect by grooming with a two track groomer.

Some photos taken this am before and after the sun was up. We are warming up here guys so the boss may keep us off the trails for a few days. I seen over 50 sleds this morning. Ops! I forgot to add a photo I took of sleds passing me. Here goes one
