One can argue this should have been implemented weeks ago as a first measure to reduce the spread, instead of destroying the economy and lives of millions. What was already a fragile economy here, is decimated. 70 confirmed cases in the entire UP, 11 deaths. Marquette County hasn't had a new case confirmed in 3 days, yet the stay home order extended. This is not a one size fits all state. I feel completely safe at the grocery store or in public. I wear a mask, don't touch my face, and wash my hands. But whatever.

We just have to keep staying home.

Negaunee, MI is a ghost town. We have mining, logging, and tourism. The mine has shut down.... tourism?

Record cold was experienced across a good share of Upper Michigan early today. There is an asterisk next to the records. Houghton and Iron Mountain tied record lows previously set in 1930 and 1936 respectively. Munising broke a record low of 17 set back in 1945. The National Weather Service site near Negaunee set a record for April 22 at 11 degrees. The old record of 14 was set 34 years ago. Clear, calm conditions brought lows of 10 at Baraga Plains and 3 above at Spincich Lake in Luce County.

Wow. 32 here. Just finished stocking up the next weeks firewood.

I still have some of last weeks snow that fell on top of 20 inches of glacier pack. Yesterday’s high was 28, tonight 22. Average high is 51 ( pre lake breeze of course).

April doesn't exist anymore, it's March 53rd.

The northern lakes region being particularly inhospitable today. Cold morn...25 degrees and howling with windchill down in the single digits, some fresh snow overnight blowing around as well, giving it that extra special winter feel.

I bought BP.

I'm getting grumpy in my old age, I have less and less tolerance for April. Waiting on the snow to melt and for it to warm up seems endless this year. When was the last AN April? the next week Today- A slight chance of snow showers before 10am, then a slight chance of rain showers after 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 45.

I don’t think people are as restless as they are worried.

must be self-isolating.

After a high of 29 yesterday and low of 8 overnight, we inch up a degree to 30 for the forecast high today with more popcorn type 5 minute blizzards. By the weekend, hopefully some weather resembling springtime. Took this pic yesterday, vehicle has been sitting there all winter long, hope they're ok

Consider yourself lucky. This is what we're dealing with in the UP still. Tired of the snow this year. I literally dream of warm, puffy-cloud days outside barefoot... lol

On that same date, he also advised the President that it was okay to proceed with campaign rallies as long as people were healthy, then quickly changed.

As late as Feb 29th, one of the primary experts (Fauci) advising the President said in an interview on the Today Show, "No need to change lifestyle yet". If that's what was being advised at the time, what do you think the president should have done differently, instead of listening to the experts? Plenty of blame to go around. Hopefully as a country we can learn from this and make better decisions next time.

I find it interesting during yesterdays presser, Dr. Fauci stated that the president never once didn't listen to their recommendations and didn't "push back" at the idea of shutting down. The president said yes to every recommendation made to him by the "experts".

A couple more pics... no need to clean it up right away, we aren't even allowed to fart here. yesterday today

Yesterday

Yeah, it's mid-April, my heart isn't broken. Been snowing very heavy for the past couple hours. Probably picked up another few inches.

A couple things didn't go as planned...lol Storm ended up tracking a little further east and not as strong, snow ratios appear to have been lower than thought overnight, also.... drier air moving into the west already will end the snow sooner this afternoon. That said, looks like around 18" has fallen, with a liquid of 2.04. Should at least reach the two foot mark before it's over. Wind really kicking up now with heavy lake enhanced snow falling.

Snow coming down pretty steady now. Not having any trouble sticking, it did a little initially on the gravel drive. Wind has been increasing out of the north as well with a temp down to 30. Will post pics some time tomorrow. Map covers most of the storm. Bullseye of 30-36" added now.

Not just higher ratios, it wrings out the moisture with added lift as well.. Compare precip totals, not just the difference in snow amounts. There is a bias in the wrf's to boost the upslope component, but I've noticed when most all hi-res agree on an idea, it usually comes close to fruition. I'm expecting 25-30" with the possibility of higher amounts, especially if you look at how the models arrive at the heavy totals, with an enhanced lake band setting up as the storm departs. I'm not near a town. I live in the north part of Ishpeming township but have a Big Bay address and PO box. I consider "my town" to be Negaunee, even tho It's quite a trek because of having to drive around the 11 mile long Dead River Basin. I can ride the sled to Negaunee in half the time it takes driving, by crossing the frozen basin just north of Negaunee.

This is getting ridiculous. 4 feet? I'm starting to worry about possible roof issues. Snow has started
